I think I love my M8.

Have you used Sony phone before? I would first check out the ui and what features it comes with. I don't think anyone should tell you which phone to get. It all comes down to your preferences.

On first glance, z2 and z3 does have a nice UI to it but (to me personally) after looking at it for just a few days, I got disgusted by it
I was using a HOX initially and decided to play with a Xperia Z and didn't find it much of a appeal so didn't went to get the Z2 but the M8 instead.
But if you want the great battery life for your devices, go for Z2 or Z3! These devices can easily hit 10hr SOT with a single charge

hello guys
i am using Sony xperia Zl2 au from Japan
I have just used Z2 d6502 fw on my ZL2

but the screen was reversed caused by Z2 kernel
I hoped that You can fix this problem and make Zl2 be Z2

This would be the wrong forum for this as the ZL has pretty much nothing in common with the ZL2.
You'd have better luck asking in the Z2 forums as that actually shares hardware with the ZL2.

Replacing Xperia Z2 with HTC One M8. Good idea?

the Z2 is 2 weeks old
the Z2 is Awesome but i am in love with the M8 Shape and dimensions.
what do you think?
The Sony Xperia Z2 is not new but it's better than the Z1.
I would only keep the Z2 if battery life, water proof and the nice
glass back was something i cared about a ton.
besides that i like the fact that my rooted m8 can be converted to either
a Developer edition or Google Play Edition and so on.
It's developer support is unmatched in my opinion.
The M8 could get lollipop but the Z2 could take longer.
So far, I'll keep the M8.

The M8 has lollipop. Had it for a while now.
Yes, The M8 has lollipop but the M8 can be converted to any version of the device (with S-OFF).
Developer Edition, Unlocked Edition, Google Play Edition, Carrier Edition(Tmobile,ATT,Sprint), and hopefully in the future
Windows Phone Edition(which i don't care all that much about).
The Z2 doesn't have lollipop yet officially?

Xperia Z1 vs Z2 vs Z3 vs Z3+ vs Z5

I know this isnt the right section to post this
but I just want some reviews from everyone regrading the z series
Just vote for the best phone
not including Z since its different
Any of the Compacts.
Why this kind of threads always ?? -__-"""
I vote for the Z6

Here is from best to worst
Z2
Z5
Z3
Z3+/4
Z1
Z
Z2 is the ultimate z phone, it was and still a boss phone. This is just my opinion,
I did not use z5 yet, but feedback is bad and its a lagfest. Still new though, a firmware update surely will fix that.
Does it even matter?
I mean, I can still make my z1 look pretty much like a z5 in terms of UI.
And from hardware perspective, the answer is sooo obvious
Z1 is better than z3+
Z3+ is a failure
of course Z3. Design, Stabilization, Technical Specifications, etc...

Me too, but to be honest z5 also seems to become a great phone. First technical reviews are not bad.
Z3 for me nothing more nothing less
Z3 Compact is te best, for sure better than Z5 Compact...
Then Z2/Z3, best phones from SONY.
The latest is 90% always better than the previous. But, based on the impact when it was first announced, its clearly the Z2. I will point out some, based on my opinion. The Z3, Z3+ were merely improvements over the Z2.
1. introduction of IPS display vs TFT
2. introduction of front facing speakers
3. No more annoying shatterproof film that scratches easily.
4. Design is better than successors in my opinion. The edges, home button, glass back, looks much more premium.
5. Battery is way above par. Getting almost 2 days without charge in normal use.
6. Its an AWS phone, I bought my Z2 in Asia, and works with Canadian networks. Z5 is not AWS., or probably the dual only (

Well my sister have the Black Z5 and i compared it with my Z3 and to be honest my Z3 have more and better accurate colours, a little bit faster in scrolling etc and camera start up, but oke the Z5 feels nice also ^^

guys ALL Z series are the best phones out there! first of all a battery with more Mah than you can trust.With other phones..no way.Then the build construction.Compare a Z with a samsung.. then magnetic charge.. then the simplicity and the fastness of the rom!Finally the camera!!!guys first time i own a z1c i heavilly debloaded it from sony craps,modded it in many things, installed zezadas camera (best camera ever) with 4k and timeshift..guys my mobile flyes!!!i think this post would compare our xperia to other devices like crapsung!!!
Z1.
Not enough improvement between flagships from Z1 to Z5 . Sure, software-wise there is cool features but most can be/is ported to older phones. I wish they would bring back metal framing, then Z5 Compact could actually interest me.
Z2. I upgraded from Z to Z2. Best decision ever.

Yeah I know it's in the wrong section
But there is nowhere I can post it except here
If xda mods could make one section just for xperia Z SERIES it would be brilliant
@MJ9999
Z3 have a more powerfull quadcore and no heating issue on my Z3, but i guess you own only a Z2 not Z3.

I own a G4 from at least one year and what I can tell you is that I never ever buy again a non-Nexus device.
So, no Z3 and no G4 for me.
Neither get a. Nexus
G4 is the bteer choice. The only thing the Z3 has over the G4 is the battery life.
G4. But if you can get a Nexus device, then go for it. Next device I'll buy would be Nexus.

Zuk z2 international

http://www.oppomart.com/zuk-z2.html
So I'm looking for a nice 5 to 5.2" phone to fill the hole my xperia z3 compact left in my heart! Does anyone have this variant of the zuk z2? Is it rocking a more stable rom? I know MWC is just around the corner. Looking for a little help deciding. Thanks!

There is no such thing as international version. There are Chinese aka ZUK Z2 and Indian aka Lenovo Z2 Plus.
The stock ZUI is a big mess and not very polished, although it's frequently updated. There is official stable Nougat available.
Other than that, there is a great support for this device from the custom ROM devs, probably 2nd most popular SD820 Chinese phone after Mi5.
For the price it goes for, there's nothing else that even comes near it. The base Mi5 costs around 40 bucks more (3/32).
Now if you're coming from Z3 compact, you'll notice a difference, since this device (zuk z2) is as big as the original Xperia Z. I've came from Moto X 2013 and even after months I can still notice it's a bit larger than I was used to. Other than that, it's a great device.

I've bought my device on Banggood for 169$ with use of coupons. Shipment to my country (Poland) took about 20 days. Installing TWRP is "easy-peasy" and from this you have open way to installing various roms. If you won't like ZUI you can try official MOKEE rom (which gives more AOSP expreience with great battery life). I've flashed ZUI based on Nougat debloated by user Francko76 and installed Action Launcher 3. Works great as my daily driver and by the end of day (with my usage) I still have about 20% battery left. As I know, most frequent issues with this device are antenna and usb port.
