Please help me choose a new phone

Hey there!
I was planning to buy a new phone, and zeroed down on xperia z2, or LG g3. I checked all the online reviews, but wanted xda user reviews 
Also, the battery life of g3 is significantly lesser than that of the z2? Z2 is touted to have the best battery backup. My average usage pattern will consist of lots of WhatsApp, and around 3 hours of music. What would you suggest?

Thanks!

All three are good devices IMO.
Please register on xda and ask this in the **DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here! by KidCarter93.
There is the right place to discuss this with other users.
Please do not open/read this:
... sorry, I can't resist ... go for the S5
But every user will give a different advice. For me the S5 was the best decision. Maybe for you too ... maybe not?!
... hey, I said not to open and read this

[Completed] mtk6592 problem

Hi guys,
It's my first post here in xda forum as a xda user. First of all i would like to thank all guys that helped to root and install custom rom to my huawei u8120, with all these useful tutorials. Now as a xda member i would like to ask for some more help. Thanks to this forum i tried to root my tianhe h8 smartphone via framaroot. But after some months of use the screen of the phone has some vertical lines and other times have blurr or oval schemes. But the problem is that my screen doesn't have any problem because when i use an app just like internet app (thing that i am doing right now) or facebook etc. those lines and schemes disappear, but my resolution is low. Despite the fact that the screen is hd ,after this problem i can clearly see pixels. So i just ran some mtk info apps and they appear my screen size to be 4.5 inch and actual is 6!!!!
Please can you help me to find out the problem? I truly consider a hardware gpu or battery problem.

[Completed] Hello. New here - please help (Note 3 SM-N9005)

Hello xda forum. I recently joined this comunity. Heard of it on a youtube video by C4AEtech in the same day that I have rooted my phone - Samsung galaxy note 3 SM-N9005.
Please dont be hars on me, I dont know where to post, so if I'm in the wrong category please move my topic, i'll learn from mistakes.
Since I'm new to rooting and dont wanna do anything by my own cuz there are risks and dont want to intentionally burry my phone, I would like some guidance.
Basicly I have some questions
-I play this game called Taichi Panda and I lagg really hard sometimes, and yeah, my phone has 3gb ram and a strong cpu. With my old phone I had an octa core with 1gb ram and it was same. The issue here is that my old phone was running at 720p and note3 at 1080p . Is there something that I can do to switch my graphics from 1080p to 720p ? (only to this game) I want to record and make some youtube videos and I'd like to be lagg free for extra video quality. The difference between 720p and 1080p is not that big of a deal, and if it helps my game to run lagg free it will be great. P.S. I play only on wifi and I have 50mbs up and down.
-I saw here something about custom roms and kernels. I dont know what are those, but I want to improve my phone in a good way and get the most of it. I would like it to run well, not to lagg somethimes, not to freeze and stuff. I'd like to OC my CPU to a safe limit (what I saw is about 2.7 ghz). I would also like something custom that will improve my phone to perform better.
Offtopic: Recently my phone had some problems (before root). When I plug it it for charging , sometimes it doesnt charge at all and sometimes it charges for 1 sec than for next 2 sec it doesnt and so on. I dont know if its my battery fault of my charger, mabye I have killed it with that game Could you recommand me a program where I can see my battery life remaining ?
Any tip and tricks are welcome, I'm opened to any suggestions. I just want my phone to run better and this comunity just rocks -been searching for stuff in past days but cant do anything on my own.
Best wishes

Hello again.
Since you seem to have several separate somewhat unrelated concerns, it would best for you to start separate threads in that forum if you still have questions after reviewing the information already available there.
Once again, good luck.

[Completed] The Essential Information About BATTERY!

hi guys
Im new to the xda, and im hoping to find a complete answer from the experts here.
i was looking for a new phone to buy, my old phones were LG g2 mini and Meizu MX4 pro.
The main problem i had with these two phone were battery life (and i had a major problem with meizu in heating and lagging so much!! Once I recorded temperature of 69 Celsius in meizu !! )
Now that I want to buy a new phone I started to read reviews and GSM Arena Battery life Table.
but it doesn't get me anywhere!
my main question is :
with enabling your data on mobile full day and using apps like telegram, and with minimum time of playing games(like boom beach)
which battery can makes through a day and half of use ?!
i was thinking of Sony Z5 Compact, but i couldnt decide whether its battery is good or not ?
in a nutshell, which phone can lasts longer with enabling data on 3g fulltime ? (there isnt any answer on the internet ! )
thank you in advance for your answers guys
