I haven't got a z3 plus u can see on every to YouTube video that u can only take 2 seconds of video before the camera app closes because of overheating. I only have the z3 and it's battery is epic. I do have a z5premium but I just got it so did mention z3 battery is better than the z5premiums. Z5premium has more mah but z3 battery beat it like nothing
I bought the xperia Z3 on the first week of December and have no regrets. I've waited so long to the point the Z4/Z3+ and the Z5 series have came out. But i still went with the Z3 for a number of reasons. The Z3+/Z4 and the Z5 both have Snapdragon810 which is known as the 2015 flagship phone killer. The reason for this is any android device with Snapdragon810 overheats more so than the average Smartphone to the point it affects the performance of the phone. Sony has seemed to fix this with the Z5 by adding dual pipes inside the system to help combat the overheating which works. The Z3+ on the other hand still overheats and as a result the phone itself hasn't even made it to retailer stores in many countries. The Z3/Z3 compact in general are known to have one of the best (if not the best) battery life performances today.
The only good thing about the Z3+ is it's slightly thinner than the Z3 and Z5 but that isn't a good enough of a reason to choose the Z3+ over the Z3/Z5 due to the overheating issues mentioned earlier.
Buy the Z3 if: You want the greater battery life and a stable phone. Buy the Z5 if: you want the best camera and a fingerprint scanner.
Due to the great support from Sony and many updates to the Z3, the Z3 performs very well for a 2014 flagship phone. Also to mention the Xda community for this device is awesome and great.
In my own preference: Z3>Z5>Z3+ or Z5>Z3>Z3+ (you choose if you prefer the Z3 or the Z5)

please help me
is xperia M2 really okay ?
im planned to buy it
but xperia SP make me confused rather to pick M2 or SP
advice please ...
M2 is better only because of the expected updated for kitkat (and maybe beyond) battery life (due to the qHD screen) and better screen colors. otherwise SP has a faster CPU and GPU, higher resolution display and imho a better design. if sony would be still updating SP there would be no reason to consider the M2
The screen on the SP is clearly better. It has higher resolution, but if you are going to stick a matt screen protector on it, then it doesn't matter. The M2 screen has a cool/greenish tint which I personally find not acceptable. But - it is abt the same as many Samsung phones and that also hardly disturbs anyone.
SP's battery live is abt half of what the M2 can.
A year ago SP was a medium range phone, now M2 is low end. In actual fact they do abt the same. M2 is build to somewhat lower grade but still well build compared to Samsung casing.
For me a phone is not better bcs of an expected version update. For me a phone would be better, if I can get it rooted easily and if there is a recovery available, and interest by developers. That's the problem zone with the M2.

I've seen that comparison and I didn't find any big difference so I'm asking the experts here
From what I read the z3 has a brighter screen with better viewing angles, better battery life, smaller form factor and a slightly better chipset with the 801 versus 800.. With that said I'm patiently waiting for the T Mobile version to come out
Z2 is using Snapdragon 801, not 800.

Z3 has the same screen as Z2
I'm in the same boat as the OP here. Hope someone posts a comparison between the z2 and z3 with real world usage.
Well,
Z2 is cheaper
Z2 has more development (rootable, etc)
Z3 has brigher screen
Z3 should have a (marginally better) camera
Z3 is ergonomically better (personal though, but rounder, more compact)
Z3 has better battery life
Z3 is not rootable without unlocking (which results in issues on its own) yet, but should be in time
All in all, Z3>Z2 but only if you have an issue with spending more money I'd say go for the Z2... In specs they are almost the same with a slight edge to the Z3

Hehe, well... that's personal of course. In that case, go with the Z2... Excellent phone
For me (had a Z1) the Z3 was an actual worthwhile upgrade while the Z2 wasn't. You know you pay top prices when you buy new models, either wait a bit and go for the Z3 when the price went down a bit or go for the Z2 now. It is indeed very similar.

battery life and build quality are two main factors i got hte z3 over z2. Plus i got a decent deal transferring my number to t-mobile here in Poland. Yesterday i spent a good days worth of internet browsing, watching vids online emails, calls and other stuff and at the end of the day still have 45% left.
I had this conversation with my friend about this, as he's thinking about the z2 or z3 and there isn't much different. They must of tweaked with the hardware or processor as battery life is great.

Went from a Z2 to Z3. Wife still has Z2 so I can compare side-by-side.
Battery life: Z2 was already pretty good; doesn't seem to be that much of a big difference
Display: Z3 seems a bit brighter on maximum
Processor: Z2 and Z3 are both snappy; I can't say I notice a huge difference.
Z3: Did have some black screen crash happen to me a few times. Seems to have been bluetooth related as it happened when I was trying to pair some devices.
By biggest issue I have is that the Z3 camera doesn't seem as good as the Z2 in less than bright light. Colours seem washed out or perhaps the a bit overexposed. Not as sharp or contrasty as Z2. It's almost like there is some lens flare to the z3. Also Z3's white balance seems not as good. This has been my biggest disappointment but I'm hopeful that this is software not hardware. Maybe it's because the higher ISO in low light is doing weird things.
I'll see if I can put a picture up with z3 and z3 side by side.
Regards,
Ken

I'm in the same boat. I was all set to upgrade from my Galaxy S3 to the Z3 today. When I got down to the store turns out my wireless provider has changed the pricing on the Z2. The Z3 (16GB) is $180 on a two year contract. The Z2 is now $0 on a two year contract. Not sure that the Z3 is worth $180 over the Z2.
Now I'm not sure what to do.

The Z3 is a minor improvement: Thinner, much brighter max brightness, little better battery life, slightly better speakers. Is it worth $180 thats up to you. The Z3 on TMO is 32GB which carrier are you on?
I'm in Canada with Sasktel.
Go for the Z2 I guess $180 savings is a lot, especially since they are fairly close overall.
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking into buying the Z3 and I know there is an Octa-core version called the Z3+
I'm wondering if anyone has input into which one I should buy...
I'm looking at the D6653 and the D6553
thanks for your input
I have bought a Z3 two months ago, coming from a Z1. It's a very fast phone, compared to my old Z1, and in everyday use there is nothing to complain about it.
I got the 5.1 Lollipop on it and battery life is pretty good, close to two days, moderate to heavy use, with 4G enabled, sync alway on.
Display is very nice, good viewing angles on it, doesn't get too warm under use, at least compared to Z3+.
So, as a Z3 user I am saying, go for it, it's still a fast phone for today's standards.

So your opinion is that I should get the Z3 and not the Z3+ ?
I think so, at least in my opinion. At least you will avoid heating issues with the Z3+ which everyone is complaining about.
And I am pretty sure you will not notice a drop in performance, even though the Z3+ has a better CPU. Z3 is a fast and responsive phone, cannot go wrong with it.

yes and battery life is a very important consideration for me as well and im assuming the upgraded cpu and gpu drain the batter faster
i am upgrading from my z1 and have been very happy with its battery life
another consideration is that ill probably want to root the phone and use the latest cyanogenmod with it

Battery life is better on Z3 than it was on my Z1, I must say. And in real life use you will not see a noticeable difference between Z3 and Z3+, but you will get battery life on the Z3.
Plus, you will get a better price on the Z3 than you'd get for a Z3+.
A little while back I made a post like yours, what to get between the two phones, and a lot of users advised me to get the Z3 over the Z3+ and they were right, the phone performs admirably.

yes. octa core processor, better cam, better front cam. not sure about overheating issues when recording 4K.
Z3+ have better built quality. special power button
go for z5 then
I'd get Z3+ just because there's less stuff on the sides so it looks cleaner. No magnetic charger and the usb flap is moved to the bottom and left open.
I will tell you what is better on Z3+ and what is better on Z3. Z3+ is better in this things: 32 GB internal memory, flapless micro USB, brighter screen, louder speakers, much better sound quality over headphones and camera is slightly better (nothing special, most off people will not notice that). On Z3 Android and UI works so much better and smoother. Maybe Android 5.1.1 will fix smoothness on Z3+ and bring Z5 UI. Only thing why I did not go for Z3 is no good sound quality over headphones after Android 5.0.2 update. On Android 5.1.1 sound quality is slightly better but no match for Z3+. And that is why I have Z3+ and hoping for Android 5.1.1 to bring back Z3 Android smoothness.
Now it is on you to decide. We can't do it for you. Only thing we can do is to say our opinion on each device.
Hello to all
I want to buy a new phone and I am really confused between Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 premium!
Is there any difference between these two except for the 4K screen?
Is it really worth it to go for the premium with higher price?
Best wishes

Hello Daniel,
I have a Z5 and very pleased with it.
I had to select the Z5 as my network provider is not distributing the Z5P otherwise I will select the Z5P.
Screen size and definition is greater on the Z5P model
Battery size is also a little bit greater (even if the 4K consume a little bit more power).
Both of them are good phone
Welcome to Sony Z5 / Z5P world
Z5 for sure, but if you prefer bigger screen go for premium.
4k won't be usable all the time and i think it will have less battery life.

I owned both up until recently. I found the premium, because of the size and the design quite unwieldy. The screen is beautiful, but do remember 4k mode only kicks in on YouTube, the album app and selective things like that. The battery is comparable to the z5 I'd say.
i own z5 and i can say its very good phone... i´d buy z5 premium if they had one but they didnt had even compact version so i went for the normal z5 go for the premium ull have best of everything from xperia.
Xperia Z5 is better .. even the screen colors and contrast are better on the Z5 than the Z5 premium :
https://youtu.be/UmCfBaaY3w8
- The 4k screen will make the phone slower and you may face some bugs with some apps ..
- The battery won't be as good as the Z5's battery
I'd say, go to a store and test both phone's, then make ur decision.
thank you all
I have decided to buy the premium
Seeing as how XZ is the new 2016 flagship. Is it worth upgrading? Specs wise, it isn't really worth. Just better front facing camera, rear camera and a better processor from what I saw unless I missed something. But design wise, I really like it. Supposedly some of the 2017 Xperia leaks I've seen sport the exact design from the XZ. Should I upgrade or wait out until the end of the year for their high end device?
I have Z5 regular and I have same speculations.The camera is better cause has full manual mode,but picture quality?I am afraid that isnt much better than Z5.
It left only chipset,design and maybe longer battery hold.
I am not smart what to do...

I prefer old design cuz it's more scratch resist than new material. I think u should stay tuned with news, see what if the 2017 devices could be more or not then decide, it's just a month ahead. BTW, XZ price is still not down in VN Store yet.
As nougat takes up approximately 50% of the XZ's memory which can't be rooted without unlocking the bootloader, I'd suggesting holding back for three months to see what is released generally. Developer support and third party accessory support are limited for this model, and you'll have difficulty finding a decent case or tempered glass that bonds fully to the curved edge. Double tap to wake remains an issue, and charging is weak and actually depletes if you're using the phone at the same time, as a wireless hotspot for example. It's a stunning phone, but there are issues......
not point tbh, they are just too similar.
Need help
I love Sony !
But since Xperia z5 and didn't see Sony do any big hit now with XZ I loved it but afraid buying it and get disappointed!
Since Z5 went to s7 edge but didn't like it so I went to iPhone 6S plus and didn't like it now I'm with Moto Z but not satisfied!
Thought of HTC 10
But for once Wana believe XZ is worth buying !!!
Any help plz !!

What make you disappointed in Z5 and why you didn't satisfy with Moto Z?
Make it clear why so others can help to tell in your place.
The Xperia XZ is a good smartphone, most important thing is the stable & close to stock Android Sony UI, with fast OS updates.
I have used so many smartphones, but Sony is really one of the best.

Well had black z5 and left it in my back pocket and when I went to my car forgot about it and when I sat I heard a crack and when I noticed it was the phone took it it was all broken with little bent in the middle !! Bought then white one and left it on the table and when I got a call it moved till felt down and broke down !
So bought z5 premium with the thought of Netflix 4k and youtube 4k but nothing screen brightness under sun was bad and camera wasn't all what I expected !!!
So went to Samsung s7 and hate all the junk and so many options that mostly u never use it and from time to time it get some slow done for a sec !
The only thing I loved about it the camera was great !
So went to moto z and only thing hate it after buying it putting it side by side with iPhone HTC and Samsung it was ugly and looks like a 200$ phone , I know there is no perfect phone I love Sony phones so think buying the Xz but reviews didnt help camera sucks as they say it's not perfect in anything screen still FHD like Sony is Stuck in time !!! It looks like Z5 with a better design and new processor . So what I was wondering is it really worth buying it

Xz is really better than z5 premium.Better speed,battery life,screen quality, camera quality (not only for manual comands ,quaity is also really better on auto. Every shoots are fantastic and night shoots are on different planet compared to z5 series...really fantastic). Z5 premium have updates i think only with nougat 7.0 and 7.1.1. Xz also android 8 and 9 i think. In the end of the year z5 premium probably leave the official support and there you should buy the new xperia z5 premium is a fantastic phone. Xz is really better. But at end 2017 Sony announce his powerful flagship. and it will be a really better phone than xz
Don't know if I can add a YouTube link
But this is what bother me every review I see is negative I don't know if the phone is that bad or the reviews just want to make it show bad !
Here in Brasil it's not on shelves yet only sold online so there is no way to test it yet ! And it's not cheep at all it's around 1050$
So I need a light from ppl here in the XDA
Thanks for all support
Sony is about to announce new phones at MWC on February 27...I'd wait.
edit: Not to say the XZ isn't great, I love mine. Just saying though, new phones in a month. Might be worth waiting to see what they announce.

I have the XZ, it is good phone with best quality screen under direct sun, yes the Samsung S7 edge camera is much better, but in the end it is a smartphone not a camera & with playing with manual mode you can get better result from XZ.
before the XZ I used the HTC 10 which it does have QHD screen !
but if you compare the HTC 10 QHD screen with the FHD Xperia XZ screen in normal indoor light or under direct sun the winner will be for sure the Xperia XZ.
XZ screen is so bright and clear indoor and under direct sun even with polarized sun glasses where you will suffer with other smartphones, but with the XZ it is really a hero.
any one can try that, I felt disappointed from using HTC 10 SPECIALLY UNDER DIRECT SUN with polarized sun glasses, so I decided to get Sony Xperia XZ.
all in all XZ is a good smartphone with good battery life & screen quality, plus the most cool thing I like it about the XZ is the Qnovo charging thing where the battery can learn from your daily charging timing, so this Qnovo thing will stop over charging battery if for example you charge your smartphone over night.
If you are a Sony guy get the XZ, it is such a cool smartphone.

So far, i didn't try Z5 Premium but did use Z1 and tried Z3 of my friend. By stats, Z5 Pre and XZ are just the same. By design, the new material is nice, beautiful, mostly symmetry, more than Z5 Pre, even few time i confused then hold it upside down. But It did not bring the good feeling and high grade feeling (both by viewing and holding) like Z lines, also less scratch resistant. Also in review, its back is easy to be destroy by hard metal.
For gaming, and perhaps clip playing too if you hold XZ, the border is not much rounded, make it feed bad for your hand's palm after playing game for a long time. Battery is not so good, fixed much by Nougat update, but still. The reduced resolution didn't make it better, but I don't like larger resolution either, my I cant' see much differences.
For broken and bend problems, I didn't drop my XZ so i can't tell, but my old Z1 drop many times without any problems, just scratch appear in every corner after times. Then how could your old phone became broken so easily?
At all, I'm a little reget that I should try Z5 Pre before buying XZ, that's it.

before the XZ I used the HTC 10 which it does have QHD screen !
but if you compare the HTC 10 QHD screen with the FHD Xperia XZ screen in normal indoor light or under direct sun the winner will be for sure the Xperia XZ.
XZ screen is so bright and clear indoor and under direct sun even with polarized sun glasses where you will suffer with other smartphones, but with the XZ it is really a hero.
any one can try that, I felt disappointed from using HTC 10 SPECIALLY UNDER DIRECT SUN with polarized sun glasses, so I decided to get Sony Xperia XZ.
all in all XZ is a good smartphone with good battery life & screen quality, plus the most cool thing I like it about the XZ is the Qnovo charging thing where the battery can learn from your daily charging timing, so this Qnovo thing will stop over charging battery if for example you charge your smartphone over night.
If you are a Sony guy get the XZ, it is such a cool smartphone.

Since Z5 went to s7 edge but didn't like it so I went to iPhone 6S plus and didn't like it now I'm with Moto Z but not satisfied!
Thought of HTC 10
But for once Wana believe XZ is worth buying !!!
Any help plz !!

Well bought the Xz black and and......
I can say I'm amazed and loving the phone better than Z5 premium lighter looks slim while I was afraid cos looking at the picture it seemed thick!
Glad I'm back to Sony and I really hope they amaze us over the year!
Bought blue for my sis and even my brother with S7 edge was impressed with the phone.
