    AnonD-92587, 11 Mar 2014so what can be the reason for removing such a good thing?!As i said, by popular demand, people want tempered glass with oleophobic coating and now Sony has decided to listen.

    I hope the glass will be glued on, like it is on for example Galaxy S4, i wouldnt want my pocket filled with a thousand razor sharp little pieces of glass next time i have an accident and the phone breaks in my pocket. Has happened to me before but the shatter proof sheet kept the broken glass in place.

                  AnonD-242444, 11 Mar 2014Really pre ? Im planning to buy note 3 for 26000 php . But ... moreNote 3 has oversaturated colour and emit extreme light! Live colour Led display in z2 is very nice with full of natural colour*****
                  It is also plastic product and over large screen
                  So note3 has no handy and makes clumsy your daily use!
                  And note 3 has NO water&dust proof so you care much it like a pet dog .Caring note 3 will become your daily duty**** and it makes delays your daily life#
                  Ominibalance in Z2 will make you more perfact and lighter than note 3& other phone even when they are lighter!
                  Moreover Using often spen make tons of lags in note 3 note 3 user feel it silently* and note 3 used varied chipset so you can be fooled by samsaung marketing
                  In Z2 you can get 801 chipset happily worldwide as Sony has produced globally *One Chipset~One smartphone system*
                  3200mah battery(5.2"display) with stamina mood is perfect .Here note3 has only 3300mah battery although it has 5.7" screen
                  So only z2 is the wise choice!

The reason why Xperia phones had this up until now is that it is required by law in Japan, I guess the Japanese NTT DoCoMo version of Z2 will still have this sheet but due to popular demand Sony is dropping this from international models.


                    The sheet is not a bad idea, it really works, not only does is protect the display from impacts (its thicker and more absorbent than a screen protector) but it really holds a shattered screen together so you can use the phone normally without any injuries. If you look at some images of broken iphones you can normally see some blood stains, and this is what Japanese law want to stop. Theres no dangerous injuries but blood is not considered hygienic and carries a very high risk for spreading deadly diseases even after long time.

For sony's like z, z1 and z ultra, they have a glass back so they also put a screen protector on the back. The reason why is this is to stop the glass from falling out or cutting someones finger once it is shattered. I have a z1 and i notice scratches within the first week of owning one. One thing to note is if you remove this screen protector Sony says you will void your warranty.

                        The 4 inch iPhone 5s without waterproofing has thicker bezels than the 5.2 inch Z2 with waterproofing BUT nobody criticises Apple for it but praise them sky high for their "Premium" design whereas Sony always gets fuck for a lesser crime I mean bezel.


                        Top bezel:
                        Xperia Z2 - 17mm
                        iPhone 5S - 17.5mm

                        Bottom bezel:
                        Xperia Z2 - 15.5mm
                        iPhone 5S - 17.5mm

                        The iPhone 5S also has by far the lowest screen too

                                      "why would you want a waterproof smartphone?" it rains and people want to use their phones? I often walk in the rain and always put my current phone in a plastic bag - i don't need to with xperia. If no one want it, why has Samsung followed with s5......??? To be fair Samsung likes to copy features into it's smartphones and there is something to be said about the element of samsung ingenuity that they try to put all the cool and key stuff all into one phone.....I guess upcoming iphone are tauting water resistance as well

                                        Anonymous, 10 Mar 2014why sony insist to use non removable battery Fixed battery and the use of power banks is proven to be superior to removable plus spare. Li-ion batteries must not be cycled as its called, never let your battery ruin down to zero, always charge long before it's empty, as early as on 40% you should charge. This will make your battery last many many times longer than TWO "cycled" batteries.

                                        Also try to avoid charging more than 80% full since its approximately the point where charging will cease to use "constant current" method, everything above that point can be considered unhealthy squeezing.

                                        By staying between 40 and 80% your one battery will stay healthier than 10 "cycled" batteries. Forget everything you know about ni-cd batteries, it does not apply to any lithium batteries.
