I know the XA Ultra is a budget phone, but it looks amazing and seems to have a pretty good camera(which is all I really want). How is the MediaTek MT6755 cpu compared to our current Snapdragon 801?
How big of a downgrade would you say going from a Z3 to this is? I have no desire of getting a X.
I should have made this thread in the XA Ultra forum, sorry.

Hi Guys,
So as the title suggest I have the OnePlus One 64gb.
I am thinking of swapping it for an Xperia Z3, I haven't seen a lot of comparison videos, well none actually, so just wondering what you users of the Z3 think?
One thing that i am concerned about is development, it seems quite slow on the Z3 so far will the one plus has a plethora of roms available. What is the stock rom like?
Another thing that is slight swaying me is the size and camera.
If you guys could offer could offer me some advice that would be great!

I haven't get a Z3 for myself yet but these are the info I knew
First of all,the OnePlus One uses the Snapdragon 801 MSM8974-AC Quad-core 2.5GHz chipset which was the same as the Xperia Z3
Both of them have 3GB of RAM & 3100mAh battery
Of course,you will get a smaller screen on the Z3 at 5.2" versus the OnePlus One at 5.5" but the Z3 has the brightest display in an IPS display
For the size,the Z3 is very slim at only 7.3 mm & weighs 152 grams while the OnePlus One was 8.9 mm thick & weighs 162 grams
The new design, rounded corners on the Z3 feels more better in holding & rated at highest IP 65/68 for dust & waterproof
Talking about camera,Z3 boosts a 20.7MP 1/2.3" camera with 25mm wide G-Lens,should be able to win the OnePlus One
Xperia UI is very nice.Sony has make it more like stock Android with some small modifications & some addons
I'm excited about what Sony will make in their Android 5.0 Lollipop UI
That's all I can tell you
Please post questions in the Q&A section

Well im planning to buy Xperia M2 Aqua, but it prings up some concerns about development for this phone. On paper it has very simmilar specs to Xperia M2:
Both have 1GB RAM
Both have 4.8 inch 540x960 screens
Both have 8MP camera
With only diffrence being in proccesors (witch from what i know makes pretty much all the diffrence)
1.2 GHz Qualcomm MSM8926 Quad Core (only for Xperia M2 D2303,D2306)
vs
1.2 GHz Qualcomm MSM8926-2 Quad Core (for Xperia M2 Aqua)
I dont really know whats the diffrence between both proccesors, doubt we can talk about compatiblity. But its not a big diffrence right?
So would there be any development for Xperia M2 Aqua, since i doubt its going to get a seprete forum (would be great though)?
- The screen is now marketed as IPS but it still has the greenish tint at lower light settings, so no improvement.
- The resolution is the same QGA and that's fine for a 4.8 screen in my books.
- The water-resistant covers eventually drop off after some months of use, at least this is what happened on my V. Anyway don't rely on that and emerge into water. When new it's ok but after weeks ... you wouldn't be the first.
- The powers saving are attributed mostly to KK, you can have that also on the non aqua model.
- As for the processor I can't say anything, except that on my 2303 the core 2 and 3 are pretty rarely used. A custom kernel would be really needed here.
- The glass is still the same, declared scratch resistant but not Corning, and smudging in the same manner.
- 1 gB RAM to my opinion in practice is not really enough anymore, but that does not concern Sony only.
- Sony is not exchanging our devices for the after 5 months after launch updated M2. Also consider a Asus Zenfone, Xiaomi, or a Lenovo in this class. They cost either less or offer much more for the same cash.
Well Xiaomi is pretty much non existant in my country, same for Lenovo phones. I was considering Asus Zenfone 5 for a while, but the M2 Aqua has like 70€ price cut, so its a good deal for only 199€. The major problem is that i'd like to get Cyanogenmod on it one day, but though thats happing.

you like buy a Chinese made smartphone than buy a support software
welll, they're a much better than M2 but they won't give a software support on it
Currently using a Galaxy S4 and want to change with a nice phone (duh). There is one question I'm asking - is it a good idea to get a phone with Snapdragon 801/805 instead of 810? If so, which would you recommend - Xperia Z3 or Moto X 2014? I'm worried that if I get them, in a year or two, some apps will only support 64 bit chips.

It's going to be a long time before anything but perhaps the most intense games require 64 bit over 32 bit.
Of those 2, the Xperia Z3 is definitely the better phone than the Moto X. The Moto X has its qualities, but the Z3 has the dual speakers, waterpfoofness, expandable storage, and like twice the battery life.

Do you think I should go and get the Z3 or wait for the Z4 (which we barely have news on)?

Personally I would go ahead with the Z3. Sony's Xperia Z line is rather iterative; the changes between successive models are pretty gradual. It is thought that the only major upgrade will be to the GPU from Adreno 330 to 430, according to leaked benchmarks. It is doubted that there will be any bump in screen technology, size or resolution.
Ultimately, your call.

Now looking at the X, I'm actually tempted to go and buy the N6, both the N6 and Z3 have got similar pricing where I live, but it'll be another week or two for me to decide on which phone to get.
Anyway, thanks for your guys' opinions.
hi guys.. Im looking to buy a new phone, im thinking between z3 and zenfone2..
z3 would be used month old, zf2 a brend new. I know z3 is a premium model, zf2 is a budget phone, in this case price would be the same.
Please share your thoughts on this.. Why is z3 better than zf2 or otherwise.
Thank you in advance..
I have used both and they aren't really comparable phones. Zenfone 2 is good enough if you are on a budget and want the bigger screen but if you can, get a Z3 or Z3 dual.
Hello guys,
need your honest opinion.
I want to upgrade my device. I have Moto G5s Plus at this moment. i am actually happy with this device but the camera is very bad.
I am thinking of Sony Xperia XZ Premium or Xiaomi MI6? Which do you think is better?
I like to have snapdragon 835 devices and both prices are cheaper than others.
Pricing:
Xperia XZ Premium= 424 USD
mi 6= 384 USD
both prices used phones.
Thanks guys
XZ Premium, faster updates, stock android looks, better performer, IP68 and better brand
The Mi6 is crap for updates, smaller, MIUI is crap, incredibly slow updates, performs worse and no IP68 rating
For a celebrity like yourself, I'd say the XZ Premium but if you have access to them both in person, you should compare them and see which one suits your need.
