AnonD-12498, 10 Oct 2014I m not new to Sony ui , Some of my friends having Xperia... moreI also have friends with m7 and m8....
So I can tell you sonys UI is just better, equal responsivness with better looks
I quite like bigger icons in z3, and the app drawer is closest to stock...which is best in my opinion...
Faaar ahead of iphone6 s UI...

So you prefer laggish S5 UI over an UI with larger icons!?
Dont see a logic in that, but hey, everyone has a right to his taste

S5 camera is weaker than Z3, lots of comparisons all over the net, not better in features, not better in stills, especially not better in video...
Iphone6 has best camera...for a 8mpx shooter, but cant really compete to z3's...

About screens...z3 has one of the best screens out there, the brightest of the bunch for sure, if you dont like the setting you can always go to white balance display settings and make it more natural looking, just like on S5 as you say...

To mention sound quality and battery life...is only a surplus above those all

There ya go...;-)

    Anonymous, 10 Oct 2014LOL:D You say about Z3 with your 30_minute experience!? Y... moreI m not new to Sony ui ,
    Some of my friends having Xperia Z,Z1,Z2
    And I m very familiar with Sony ui ,
    New ui on Z3 is downgrade , that big icons are looking cheap , also App drawer button is looking like stock android now .

    About S5 camera , its really better camera .
    About over saturated colours ,
    In phone settings-display , there are many modes like Adapt display , Movie mode , Camera etc...
    So u can get Natural colours in S5 also .

    I already know , S5 is crap phone ,and sometimes lags , but I still prefer S5 over Z3 .
    Best phones are iphone 6 and HTC M8 both .
    But M8 camera isn't that good

      And this is my true and honest opinion...
      You havent played with Z3 today....
      ;-)

        Moreover, Z3 is higher waterproof level than our Z2
        My Z2 and my cousin Z1 are used with charging dock for charging battery
        Everything is OK
        My cousin have used z1 for 11months and my Z2 six months
        We are very happy with Sony talent!

                You say about Z3 with your 30_minute experience!?
                You have difficulties in using camera features because you have never touched Sony premium smartphones:)
                You are not familiar in Sony UI and innovative tech of Z3
                Because, you have full experience in cheap plastic phones with laggy UI with prong
                Firstly, you should buy Z3 or Z2 and then tell about them:)

                  I wont comment on z3 since my z2 is the last phone i'll ever buy from sony.

                  The service center is sucks. The authorised vendor for repair works do a Very lousy job.

                  I just bought my z2 in june, till now i've face 2 major problem

                  1. Just after 1 week, i notice The magnetic dock isn't charging correctly. Sent it to the service center, they have to replace the port on my phone. Take them nearly 1 month to get it done. I deem for a new phone (before i go to the service cwnter) since i've been using it for a week but was denied.

                  2. Today i tried to take some pictures underwater (in a water container to be precise. Not more than 30cm. Not more than 1 minute.) guess what i got? Water bubbles on the back camera n the flash.
                  I've talked to the xperia support center. And the answer is still no 1 to 1 replacing.. They ask me to sent my phone for another repair work again..

                  Why should I, the customer, have to bear the cost n hustle of unable to use a phone because of sony's mistake..?

                  TOTALLY NOT WORTH THE MONEY I PAID.
                  N TRUST ME, I'LL GET RID OF THIS STUPID PHONE ONCE I GET IT REPAIRED.

                    That's why I said M8 best android phone .
                    S5 is best camera phone also , I have compared a lot in real life .
                    3gb ram is gimmick , what u can do in 3gb ram u can not do in 2gb ram ??? No difference .



                    S5 is laggy I know , M8 is better .

                    Iphone6 is best phone right now , only the bad about it is , iTunes dependency


                    iPhone 6 > HTC M8 > S5>= Z3

                        Z3 have great battery life ( full 2_day use) with incredible performance
                        No smartphone in current can rival Z3 with its innovative design and its waterproof tech
                        Moreover, Z3 has the world's best camera and fantastic camera features
                        IPS display with Live colour Led tech, produce superior natural colours for all images and scenic views
                        In audio, Z3 has innovative noise cancelling NC 31 E headset with superb stereo speakers
                        So Z3 is flawless in all the way!*****!

                          Even my Z2 is better better than crap s5 with poor battery life
                          Moreover, Z2 and Z3 have 3g RAM!
                          s5 has only 2 g RAM like other Chinese phones
                          And touch wiz and gimmick features eat more RAM and you can get a little (0.8g RAM) for your daily use
                          So, s5 is a laggy phones with low quality performances
                          In chipset, s5 use dummy Exynos chip mixing to the snapdragon chip
                          One lineup with two chipset means, Samsung make fake version itself!
                          In waterproof, if we are close carefully the flap cover, Z2 and Z3 have amazingly water tight!
                          So s5 is a competitor of Huawei, and ZTE phones:)

                            Here in India , Service centres of xperia are Worse .

                                      My Sony Xperia Z was water resistant for the first three months. After that I had to send my mobile to service.
                                      I think the best what every proud owner of Xperia can do is to use wireless battery charger.
                                      My next phone will be Xperia Z 3.
                                      Very soon.

                                        Today I used Z3 for 30 min. And here is my opinion.

                                        Sound of Z,Z1,Z2 was very low , in Z3 its improved a bit but still not up to the mark.

                                        Display of Sony phones are worst ever .
                                        Its washed out display and colours are not attractive at all which I have expected for 50k phone.
                                        I found iphone6/5s , Galaxy S5 , HTC M8 Display much miles better .

                                        Camera - not as expected as advertised ,
                                        I found Galaxy S5 and Even iphone6 8mp camera and also Video Recording better

                                        4k recording is useless completely , Takes space like hell , Overheats phone.
                                        And u can not See 4k video looking better than 1080p on the screen of 1080p resolution .


                                        Sony ui , its much worse than what was on xperia Z,1,2
                                        Bigger icons are looking so cheap .its even worse than Touchwiz crap S5


                                        Phone is not fluid like iphone6 and HTC M8

                                        Sony Z,Z1,Z2 , C3, T3 etc. all are looking almost same , no difference at all

                                        Even Samsung S2,3,4 Note 2,3,4 .
                                        HTC one X , m7 , m8
                                        iPhone 4s,5,5c,5s,6

                                        I can easily tell difference by looking at phone but at Sony phones , not at all .

                                        They are not comfortable too by Edges and also I hate software buttons .


                                        Conclusion -
                                        I prefer even galaxy S5 over Z3
                                        S5 is also not fluid at all
                                        I m confused between iphone6 and M8

                                        Not look at spec. Shit .

                                        Iphone6 display is looking so much attractive , Best colours reproduction ,
                                        Best brightness , Best Sunlight visibility , phone is So much fluid .
                                        Ui is so great and Attractive interface ,
                                        No need at all for Customization ,
                                        Awesome Video recording and camera ,
                                        Awesome build quality and hands on feeling , Super fast loading of apps ,specially games , Superb frame rates and metal Gaming , perfect Touch I'd and apple pay , Great multitasking even through 1gb ram , CPU is mighty in real life etc.



                                        HTC M8 , phone is fluid compared to all android phones , having great display quality , nice build quality etc , nice look .


                                        Plz don't tell me about water proofing ,
                                        My friend owning Z2 was playing with it in water for fun , and it got water damaged , strange really !
