    Nah
    I still prefer my Note 4 as a phone and tablet
    it's nothing fancy like that, it's just a waste of time but with new optional cover so, yeah it's nothing.

            Anonymous, 14 May 2015why lg g4 is better than my xperia z3 in camera? i wonder w... moreBecause Sony has awful camera algorithms since the split from erricson, Just look at the comparison in the GSM comparison tool for camera's and look at the Xperia S vs any of the Sony 20Mpx sensors, A lot of the time the Xperia S is better especially when you see the 20mpx ones cranked up at the full for some reason. When I upgraded from the S to the Z1 I got an awful shock myself, I read that the Z3 compact was slightly better so I got that but it was mostly just the field of view that improved. You can also use the camera tool to compare it to other cameras and see what Sony is really lying about. You can also use the likes of Google camera and pro capture to mitigate the issue a little bit. Phone forums are littered with the complaints but sony don't really seem to listen which is why they are doing awfully, there was a mass survey taken somewhere of smartphone brand loyaltly and low and behold Sony was at the very bottom. Obviously there will be fan boys (Im kinda one myself because I got caught by there false marketing all the time) and also sony had the slight edge on market time releases but you are much better waiting out for what the competition has to offer and not buying into all the Sony marketing bull. You will see this year sony will do worse again in the smartphone market maybe then they will wake up. Personally I have been stung too many times myself after my Z3 compact screen cracked at its own accord, another massive issue going on with the Z3 compact line at the moment. Wait for a company that tests and releases one good phone rather than Sony always pushing out every 6 months slight improvements they should have gotten right the first time round to make a real impact.

              Something like... i dunno an SGS5?

              Combined with wireless charging kit it's a great phone. Fast, expandable, great battery life, camera is okay when enuf light, great screen, great reception, LTE, USB3

              And if you don't like Lolipop you can still go back to Kitkat.

              And to make it even better I've seen the S5 Plus (with snapdragon 805 like Note 4) cheaper than the regular S5.

                I don't care about benchmarks that so stupid,i care about real life performance that's what's important.

                          Hi there everyone, firt things,first, im not a user of thos device, not even the galaxy s6 or edge or the note 4. Ive seen the result of the different benchmarks here and i must say, samsung is really ahead of the competition. But i would just like to say that, benchmark test and "real-life-performance" are 2 different thing, it may all be true, all those benchmarks that they have posted, but what really matters the most is the user experience on daily basis, lets site an example, iphone6 is and never was a part of the top smartphones that run in the benchmark tests, but to be honest, iphone6 and 6plus offers a very smooth performance.(fyi, im not an apple user, but i have a lot of friends who use iphone, and i must say, it has really a great performance).
                          Anyway, my point is, if you want to rely on the benchmark results, then go for it, but if youmare wise enough, you should base your chooice on the actual user experience it has to offer.

                          Im still deciding to buy between G4 and ZF 2 Ze551ml

                                    why lg g4 is better than my xperia z3 in camera? i wonder why because my phone has big 20.7mp camera but the lg g4 has lower 16mp camera? what lg did to g4 to get better camera than my phone? 20.7mp beaten by just 16mp? i can't believe this the reason why i bought z3 because i believe this is the best cameraphone in the world but i really really disappointed when i borrowed by uncle's g4 and i took some photos on the both phones and O MY GODNESS my phone lose to my uncle's g4? the photos taken on his g4 is really prettier and sharper and far better? why?

                                        Hey guys why don't you run quadrant benchmark also in the section of performance? It will be great to have another reference numbers like those about performance
