IMO iphone isn't the best smartphone, it already overestimated by media. Android already running with very smooth fast and flawlessly since many year ago and ios also copy some of the Android features, but ios still have it draw back.

            In fact, Android and ios will lag because of the software optimize very poor and with bugs.
            My Xperia Z2 get flawless android update, even I play a lot online game..whatsapps...browser...music... camera...etc, just the battery could not be a new one after 2 and half years of using, that's why I love Qnovo.

              For those who tried xz, what about the extreme temperature rising?
              I have Xperia z3 and this is my only problem with the phone and I want to upgrade to xz unless it will suffer from the same issue

All the features I p... morewhat you enumerated are on the bright side, like those on the commercials. what im talking about is the lesser known side, where android is android because of lags and bloatwares. heck, you dont want to admit it because you yourself doesnt count a stutter as lag. i dont know about you, but your definition of user exprience and lag is out of my league

                    You should go and tell that lag thing to touchwizz users, not here...

                      What gimmicks? What bloatware?!?
                      All the features I pointed out are hardly bloatware....
                      They indeed make up for a better smartphone user xperience.
                      One and the Only better user experience iphone has over Xperia is...well, faster game loading. And that is about it.
                      While Xperia has a dozen of them over iphone, as I pointed out.
                      I am sorry you dont recognize the value of features I mentioned, but, you being an iphone user, I understand you discount them as bloatware, as you dont have them to use them, so you dont feel lacking them.
                      You use what you have available (what apple provides you)

                      are NOT bloatware.
                      But indeed user experience enhancements.
                      That iphone just does not have.
