Iphone is iphone.
1 year to release this product.
Could have been a whole lot better but as usual compromises galore.
Reviewers are all dandy about another new iphone which is sooooo behind the competition it ain't funny anymore.
And whats more the bendgate saga has shown the arrogance of Apple in avoiding to address the issue.

"The Galaxy Alpha relies on a standard USB 2.0 port for charging and wired data connectivity but uses a proprietary Lightning connector." wtf?

This phone should cost 400$,i mean what a waste of money, better to buy the Sony xperia z3 compact, or Samsung Galaxy alpha.... And look at the disadvantages of the phone way more better than any disadvantage than any other smartphone, Sony z3c have 2 disadvantages only.... Wake up people and way something that deserves the money u will pay

AnonD-130551, 27 Sep 2014How is the iPhone 6 more "premium" than the Z3 Co... moreThat is the power of marketing right there...
Aluminium will bendin...worst option im my opinion
Removable plastic will fall of and uncover internals to damage...
Nonremovable plastic can break but not as much as durable glass...
I preffer durable glass, if its on front I see no dissadvantage of it being on the back too...it improves the sturdiness

How is the iPhone 6 more "premium" than the Z3 Compact? Since when is aluminum a premium material? Hint: it's not. I just threw an aluminum can in the trash. It's cheap shit. Not saying it's not a good material for a phone, but premium it is not.

AnonD-129221, 27 Sep 2014You're missing the point. I know the engineering behind tha... moreExactly why Sony outs best devices at this moment
And I wouldnt want them to become topseller like apple or samsung...because those two dont care to listen to their customers, they out mediocre devices at best...they know their marketing will do the job...
Sony is really trying and improving on all that the users complain...
And in the long run they will be rewarded for it I hope...
Z3 is about as perfect allaround performing phone as it can get at this moment...
Apple still lacks, samsung still lags...
And they dont care to improve on that...as long as there are fanboys ready to cash out...

It is reviews like this which are the reason why GSMArena is one of the very few sites I trust when it comes to phone reviews. What other of those paid journalists given "priveleged" access to perks by Apple PR would post as honest a review as this?
Really the Sony Z3 Compact is a far better buy than both this and the Samsung Alpha. Though, I don't get this fad as to how aluminium (you know, one of the most abundant elements in the earth's crust and used in such "premium" products as Coke cans) is somehow automatically more desirable than other products like the Z3C that achieve a high build quality by using other materials. Indeed, I don't like the idea of a brittle and slippery glass back on the Z3C but that does not mean that it has to be slippery aluminium either.

Except for first few days of awe, LG L90 mini is better than this phone. Yes it has slower CPU and graphic, but 90% of users will not care.
But:
-it has twice the battery - 99% will like this.
-it has a SD card slot - more than 50% will like this
-you can copy your files as you want on and from the phone
-it is dirt chip so you do not have to worry all the time about scratching it, leaving on the table, ...
-it does all you need a phone to do; you do not spent 8h per day trying to find some use for the phone to justify 1000USD spent.
- with 800 USD left you can buy a PS4 + all the games you want and a 30x zoom camera

" The new GPU is better in every way against the current crop of flagships, but that's probably going to change with the Adreno 420 with the Snapdragon 805 and the Nvidia Kepler in the Tegra K1."
No, not going to change. The Adreno was tested already for Note 4 and LG G3-LTA and their results in graphic tests are still below the iPhone 6, while the Tegra K1 had a TDP of 11W, unsuitable for phones.
In addition to that, the internal memory of the iPhone is 10 times faster than any microSD card. A class 10 SD card is not suitable for 4K recording at good quality, so an SDCard slot and 4K recording on Android phones are a gimmick.
