Just recieved it a few days ago. The good things, sounds awesome,especially using the noise cancelling headphones.the phone looks great,the cameras great bt if used in auto mode like most will itl only use 8megpix not 20.the battery life so far seems really good, seems like itl go two days easy enough without needing a charge.the picture is definitely hd, u can really notice the difference. Like the dedicated camera button. Now the bad..... Ive gone from a galaxy s2 for comparisson(which i loved!!) the auto brightness always seems to be set too low,watching films on it isnt as impressive as on the s2,bar the clarity. The viewing angles are no way near as good as the s2 bt are good enough.the speakers are quieter than my s2s,bt much better quality tho.the back button is on the left n my thumb struggles to reach n i have biggish hands(any ideas on how to put it on the right welcome). Overall im happy, wish id had a play with the s5 for comparisson but still would of probs went for this just for a change.n i got 300 pound of a tablet z for pre ordering the phone with o2. Will let u know in a year how ive got on with it :-)

AnonD-159403, 05 May 2014Agreed. 4.7inches is a must but unfortunately it wont come ... moreBecause 4.7 is no longer very "Compact". Anyway i want 4.5 with Full HD and reasonable bezels, similar size to Z1 Compact. The two main things that made me not buy Z1C was pixel density and the shatterproof plastic film on the display, since i had an Xperia Z, loved it but the film was hard to keep clean, unlike my other phone, BB Z10 with no film and with oleophobic coating, the Z10 display stays clean all by itself like magic AND has a higher PPI than Z1C.
Its a matter of personal preference of course but for me 4.7 is stretching it.

AnonD-247408, 04 May 2014I just bought the Sony z2 and i used it for couple of days ... moreI couldn't agree with you more! Easily the best phone I have owned to date and I have owned and used them all at various times from iPhones 3G through iP5, S3, S4 (GPE) & S5 (regret buying this one) HTC One (M7)and LG G2. Also loving the M8! Obviously only own the Z2 and M8 at the present time but I have used all the above named phones at some point, the Z2 is the best phone I've used of all of them IMHO.

AnonD-260739, 05 May 2014iv been using the XZL and iv never been so proudly using a ... moreChalk and Cheese! The Z2 is easily the best phone around right now and it does everything so well. Just sold my S5 to CEX at a loss but hated using it. The look and feel was absolutely sub-optimal for a top end phone! Z2>M8>S5. Usually keep two phones for different user experience and the HTC One (M8) is my back up phone. BTW, the battery life on the Z2 is simply great! Haters are always gonna hate, I say Sony fans, go out and enjoy Sony's best to date!

Z2 has best 4K recording due to 3 GB ram and its 20.7 Mpx camera... if you are up to it. And don't talk to me about overheating problem, Note 3 is recommended up to 5 min 4K recording due to same issue.
Sony smartphone's headphone output volume is customized to less as to not damage your hearing...but it has best noise cancellation tech...so to enjoy best optimized sound...
Sony's build is best for sound output through front stereo speakers...although not as loud as M8, it is more clear and without any trebble...
and yes, there is an issue of M8 and S5 cheating on benchmarks... M8 admittedly, S5 silently...
but with Note3 caught cheating by Ars technica...and seeing the benchmark results of S5/M8/Z2, i'm 99% sure S5,along with M8, juices up benchmarks just to sell...
So...I won't say Sony Z2 is best (although techwise it is without a doubt) but I'll just say...
ALL RESPECT to SONY!
