Hello,
Im thinking of buying a new phone and can't deside between Oneplus X and Z3. Could anyone recommend me which on I should get?
Keep the z3. Sound and camera is way better

Why again a thread like this -__-
2 different devices, kinda useless but Z3 for sure
“Sent From MWE V10.0.0 On My Z3”
Thanks
Go for z3 no doubt i have boot the z3 and opx and z3 is way better than opx in any thing from camera to custom roms..custom roms for z3 are xperia based and the other aosp are quite buggy but xperia firmware based custom roms are awesome
One plus is sinking. Why bother?

And on Z2 we're still on 4.4.2.
Sony have been pretty poor in the past with their update schedule and their lack of support for phones older than 1 year but I think they have improved a bit since I last owned my Xperia Ray ... I hope for timely updates on my Z3 when I get it, at least a years worth as I tend to upgrade annually anyway. HTC from my experience were just as bad, again I have no recent experience with any Sony phone to give a definitive answer.

The answer is clear: Moto G, 4G LTE version from 2013 or you can buy 2014 version but it doesnt have 4G for now. maybe later Motorola will release a 2014 4G LTE version of Moto G.
Quad core CPU, Android Lollipop 5.0 update granted for this year, HD display, 4.5" on 2013 and 5" on 2014 version plus stereo speakers on 2014, highly customizable with Moto shells with a lot of colors, great cameras on 2014 version, and it costs 179$ for 8GB and 199$ for 16gb plus SD slot on 4G version and 2014 version. What else do you need? :good:

Nice phones, but are they in your budget?
The Xperia Z is a really nice phone too, slightly better than the ZR, and almost the same price. Check that out too. Plus, now that the Nexus 6 has come, the prices of the Nexus 5 might have fallen, and that's an amazing phone as well.
If your budget is closer to the Moto G range, the best phones, in my opinion, are the Moto G (any version, really), Xperia E3, and the ASUS ZenFone 5. Not sure if any of these has LTE, though.
Also, in the range between these is the first-generation Moto X - also a pretty amazing phone.
thank you dude and you mean to say sony xperia Z out does ZR ??

Not sure if actually budget in the US, ($199 on a 2 year contract) check out the HTC desire eye. Don't go with sony unless you go with the equal of the Z range. I'm speaking from experience (Xperia Tipo, Xperia U, Xperia Jlo)
Otherwise, check out motorola or even an older Nexus will do.
If you would check nexus 5, check lg g2 - It's price is similiar, but better than n5 in some aspects. Xperia z is an older phone, but I guess it would do ok too, same goes for zr
If you want something cheaper, then there is a big choice in the mid-range - moto g lte as mentioned before, Lg f60, f70 and f90 should be a good choice too, also g3 s and g2 mini. Htc one mini 2, desire 816, maybe desire 610.
As for sony, there's xperia e3, c3.
C3

Hello,
I'm still confused; I'm planning to buy a new smartphone and I doubt between these two devices:
Xperia Z5 Compact by Sony
and Nexus 5X by LG & Google.
Both devices has matt color and feeling which is great for me.
The Nexus 5x is a Google supported phone so it receives always as first new updates and has zero bloatware pre-installed in the phone.
On the other hand we have the Sony which has great camera, nice Sony UI (I love Xperia keyboard, Xperia SMS app and the Sony Music player).
Who can help me to decide?
Thanks in advance:good:

As a Nexus 5X daily user I can say the device is phenomenal. The experience is very smooth. The camera is also quite good talking vivid high quality pictures. AOSP messaging on the Nexus 5X is quite nice and the keyboard is a good experience. The hesitation with the Z5 is the Snapdragon 810, which has had numerous issues since it's introduction. However if you intend to use more then 32 GB of storage (26 formatted capacity) the Z5 is better because of its expandable storage. Let me know if you have any more questions happy to help you out !
As title says after owning Xperia Z3 for good 2 months I've decided to finally install some custom ROMS for it. I just know which one. I'm preferably looking for ROMS that keep the Xperia UI, Xperia music player (which I absolutely love) and Xperia camera app so nothing really like Cyanogenmod or similar.
You can use SliMM 3.8! It's great!

Try slim rom if you want a stock approach or fragment rom for xperia xz look or if you like full customization within the rom try existenz rom

If you want the Stock Look and Feel like on Google phones try the Google Style V1 Rom.
Battery is great and so far it dont have any bugs.
Unfortunately Sony has disappointed us as usual and shared its official list with the devices that will be updated to Android 8.0 and our device is not included.. The update starts from Xperia X and higher [emoji115]
• Xperia X
• Xperia X Performance
• Xperia XZ
• Xperia XZ Premium
• Xperia XZs
• Xperia XA1
• Xperia XA1 Ultra
• Xperia XA1 Ultra Plus
• Xperia Touch

We wait for third party ROM.

That's bad. It should be updated... :'(
Nevermind, LineageOS & crDroid will (and Carbonrom, AOSP, etc..). Honestly, since we can install most of the Sony apps on these roms, there are not much advantages to use stock roms, but there are many advantages to use the former...!!
Yesterday I asked on the Sony Chat if there is an update next Nougat 7.1.1 for the Xperia Z5 and they said me yes.

It's not official yet.
It doesnt matter if our z5 is capable of getting Oreo update or not.
Sony has 24 months or how much to support their devices.
I strongly believed that we were going to get Oreo update, as you all know Z5 has no problems whatsoever, and believed sony will make exception and support to our device, but i was wrong.
Oreo update with the XZ1 ui would be really really refreshing for our device.

I guess it's not uet final. The announcement was for devices that will be updated first.
But no official announcement that Z5 update will stop. Let's wait and see..
Sony is very generous...hehehe

Z5 might receive Oreo, just not from Sony.
It might well still be a good thing tho.
The Z5 has been out for 2 years, received 3 major OS updates (5.1.1 to 7.1.1) and timely security patches.
Honestly, I prefer well-built and stable updates to poorly-built and full of bugs ones.
Just look at how we received Nougat, the 32.3.A.2.33 update was a joke (they tried to push it out as soon as possible).
Even now the 32.4.A.0.160 (most stable of Nougat) is nowhere near as stable as 5.11 Marshmallow.
So yeah, it might be a good thing not to have half-heartedly developed builts (the XZ line is way more popular to non-Sony fans btw)
Also, we have some really devoted and dedicated developers for our device (kudos!), who revise their codes every single day and fill their ROMs with lastest Google security patches.
Oreo will come to the Z5 for sure, not just from Sony.

Xperia L1, XA and E5, too? Yeah, sure. Hell would rather freeze over. It's most likely a clickbait article, that's all it is.
humm, probabely.. you're right

Nothing surprising: after 2 years vendors usually stop updating firmwares. Most of Z5 line owners already knew that Nougat would have been the last major release.
Now there's space for AOSP.
