hey
Try to bend this phone.
I disagree, I had five minutes and alpha galaxy screen LG G3 gives you 3 laps ... and another thing, the price is totally abusive alpha ...
The screen/display on the Alpha is just a big disappointment! Jesus, that penile matrix on the 720p resolution really makes it blury and pixilated!
Damn you Samsung!! Why the hell didn't you give us a full HD option!?? Sigh.......

Hello,
I currently own xperia z2 but I'm thinking about changing to lg g3.
I've already had lg g2 and those devices have nice os as they have some features from Samsung.
I don't care about 1gb ram less or even waterproofness, but I'm wondering how the daily usage is.
When I've been trying the lg in a local store it seemed a bit laggy in animations. Also I'm wondering if the audio encoder for headphones has been improved, as there was some weird noise on lg g2 when listening to quiet music.
It would be nice to know the opinion of people who have already used g3 and z2, as they will probably know which one is better.
Sent from Xperia Z2
I upgraded from lg g3 to z2 and i never been happier since and i don't regret it!!! I won't change back even if i get it for free((?))
QHD is overrated and on a 5.5 screen you'll find no difference ((only if you see with a magnifier))
To keep it simple here's a comparison for you :
LG G3 over Xperia Z2
Bigger screen - 5.5" vs. 5.2"
Higher resolution screen - 1440p vs. 1080p
Improved low-light laser-assisted auto focusing
Dual-LED true-tone flash
32GB of built-in storage is an option
IR blaster
The back cover has wireless charging support
Xperia Z2 over LG G3
IP58 certification for dust and water resistance
Bigger, higher resolution camera sensor - 1/2.3" 20.7MP vs. 1/3" 13MP
More RAM - 3GB vs. 2GB (on the 16GB LG G3)
4k, [email protected] and [email protected] video recording
Stereo speakers
Bigger battery - 3,200mAh vs. 3,000mAh
ANT+ support
Noise cancelling headphones
If you prefer screen resolution and size go g3
If you prefer performance,build quality, good camera,ram and ip58(like me) go z2
The post above sums up why i went for Z2 over any other device
I would even now simply because the price is good for what it is
1080p is still a sharp screen and with the Z2 camera you can take near profetional quality

Thanks for the answer, now you convinced me to stick to Z2.
I can see some info copied from the Internet
I know the specs exactly, but the performance for me is the most important.
Even the smallest laggs in OS annoy me very fast, so I guess I'll stick to Z2, although nothing can beat the OS from HTC One m8.

I disagree on HTC ONE m8 performance!!! Nothing beats the speed lagless AOSP!!!
htc sony samsung.... OS is a modified AOSP based OS!!!
I tried AOSP roms on my z2 they are snappy and very fast but they lack some of sony apps which i need like 4k recording,camera apps and ultra and stamina mode so i switched back!!!
If you don't care about these sony apps try AOSP and you'll see a big difference in speed!!!
I recommend pacman rom and kernel m5... Lightniiiiiiiiiiiing!!! [emoji298] [emoji298] [emoji298] [emoji298]
Yeah, I've been talking about stock based roms, where the htc is a king. Of course all of the clean android roms are faster, but the days I've been using it are gone along with note 2, as samsungs roms were always laggy.

Guys ,i am not happy with the display of the m4 aqua.it is similar to moto G3 display.but not the best in the price range.when compared with the Z3 compact it is ages away.
The videos of the device from MWC 2015 had a better display. I thought the phone will have a similar display unit.but i am wrong.
I prefer the Display of the Z2 more.
Does anyone know any tweaks to build.prop or display color scale or any other tweak to increase the quality?
And another think why does the edges of top and bottom are slightly blackish mixed.
I think it is lollipop gradient.
Does anyone know to remove it?
Thanks if anyone can reply. :good:
First at all, sorry for my english, i am spanish
I come from a sony xperia x, z ultra and z5, which has left me very good taste, a cell phone 5 inch good camera and good performance and screen, which I had is with the snapdragon xperia x 650.
Screen looking for something more than a phablet, especially good camera and good performance ...
3 days ago I bought my new Sony Xperia Ultra XA, user I was 2 years ago great xperia z ultra, and if I think I've won in all but water resistance and gpu.
First, the quality panel xa xperia ultra is excellent and with a lot of very good brightness, whites are pure white, blacks are good, that if, without being an AMOLED, has no side frames, is a big plus Please screen, for me, despite not having the Triluminous display technology is better than the ultra z.
As for cameras more of the same, both the front and rear they humiliate xperia z ultra, who only has 8 mpx without flash ... makes decent photos only during the day, with the ultra xa, thanks to flash and the optical stabilizer front camera, you make good pictures generally ....
As for the graphics and processor if, in graphic is below the mali T860 mp2 the Adreno 330, but has not given me any problems or hitches with any game, in terms of cpu, despite being eight cortex to 53, the develops mobile phenomenal, mediatek long ago makes and assembles good processors ...
As for audio, the other better, the speaker is more potent than xperia z ultra, with more and more serious force, like listening to music on the loudspeaker at half volume spare me ...
Then a paste, the ultra xa is not waterproof, but I do not usually wash in the shower with mobile ...
RAM up to 3GB of 2, the quality of materials in the ultra xa is very good, polycarbonate and metal, gives a sense of quality, also we won rapidad load thanks to the battery Qnovo ...
These days doing me about 5 hours and 25 minutes of screen is not my max in that sense, but do not see anything wrong.
In short, after coming xperia x, z ultra and Z5, for me is not a downgrade at all, I'd say this to the level of these, helium p10 processor is a high midrange performs very well, and not everything is processor, also this hand sony quality and optimization, and it shows.
a greeting and I hope you have served my great paragraph:good:
Agreed, the screen is the big winner on this unit, just wonderful.
The screen is indeed wonderful on this device. One of the best LCD I have layed my eyes on. It's just so uniform (my display is at least) and it has great black level and also good contrast as a result. I enjoy the screen too much to sell this phone even though it's not my main phone right now. Love the camera too it takes very fine images for the most part. This phone is excellent if you take it for what it is.
Hi. I would like to know if its worth it the extra cost to buy a z3
For those who owned both devices
How does the speaker quality compare?
Is it true that z2 has better screen with deeper blacks
How does battery life compare?
Z2 is better than z3

Why would you say that?
i had xperia Z,Z2,Z5 and now Xz all i can say is that for me the Z2 model was the best phone from Sony since z3 everything is going more or less downwards i dont like plain design of z3...Z2 has beter lookin speakear grills and also that led notification light is integrated in the speaker grill and it looks nice...as for the perfomance they are both almost same cuz they share same proc but Z3 has overclocked one...so about the screen and speakers ,ill say that z3 has better speakers and screen i know that cuz i tested with my friends z3 back then when i had z2...screen is brighter on z3 and also speakers have little bit punchier bass but the diferences are very small. cheers
Z2 outrun Z3 in several aspects,
Better battery;
Lower cost for nearly the same SoC and hardware;
Original OMNI design;
better speaker;
etc...
For a more general and objective comparasion please refer HERE.
Today Sony announced Xperia XZ2 and XZ2 compact at the MWC 2018 so I wanted to have a look at X compact users' opinions (like myself) and see if we are deciding to let XC go or not yet...
So here's my opinion :
In the beginning when I the leaked photos I didnt like the thickness of the XZ2c but now that I have seen the Hands-on videos Im becomin more intrested in buying it (Video here)
And my other reason is that the screen is now HDR 1080p and 5" so it means more colors and more usabality!
There's also a better camera and better front facin speakers.
Btw,
Dynamic vibrations are not available in Xz2 compact
And although it has dual front cameras, its only 5 mp!!!!
So if I buy it, it would be because of the new looks amd much much better gpu performance and of course HDR screen, otherwise, XC is doin a great job for me specially now that it has android Oreo...
Feel free to share your thoughts!
bye bye Sony
Very disappointed with Sony :crying:
Xz2 compact is not compact anymore. Thick (12mm), tall (135mm), no headphone jack, fingerprint reader on the back. What the f*ck is Sony doing?
The only fast compact device on the market is no more. Well, back to Samsung
NO, I'm really sad about this, but at least we have the XZ1 Compact to upgrade to, which seems like the best Compact they've ever made, basically updating SOC and better, matte, metal back/sides compared to the slippery, glossy sides we have on the X Compact...the lack of headphone jack and side fingerprint scanner on the XZ2's are really unfortunate changes imo

5" screen is not compact. I was already pushing my limits when I started with Z1c, (127mm tall), 4 years ago. I only upgraded to Z3c and Xc because they haven't gotten any bigger. I won't do 135mm..
No.
No. No real innovations, but it's gotten bigger and lost features like head phone jack and fingerprint on the side. The camera has to be on par with Samsung and iPhone to even consider the XZ2.
Maybe XZ3 Compact they ll back to the road, is there any real one-handed phone that we can expect this year?

Yeah, for me after a lot of reading i just think xz1 is not worth the cost, xz2 compact is like a new model phone. I am just going to wait for xz3 or any other compact version.
My next phone will probably not be from Sony. If I convert to a "normal" size it doesn't have to be Sony anymore.
