I would go for a Sony phone, go check it out on their website. I know of a phone that has the "Ultra Zoom" feature, which can process 50MP photos. I forgot what was that phone and you'll have to find out for yourself. Or u could wait for the S5 to come out. The S5's camera has loads of features for different shooting conditions.
P.S. Rumors claim that the S5 would be cheaper than the S4. (Emphasis on rumor.)

I would say this guy is right.
Sony always had good quality camera's, not only on their smartphones but the compact camera's too.
My opinion on the lumia's is that the 41MP is fun to have, but after all you wana look at the lens.
Since MegaPixels only will tell you how much pixels there are in one photo.
You can just zoom in a lot on these Nokia photographs you took.
Since Sony can process 50MP photo's, the Nokia loses on this too.
And another thing, Nokia is no opinion for you since you want an Android.:laugh:

Or wait for the rumoured S5 Zoom...

My opinion is that these phones are quite ugly with those big backsides. But that's just what I think about these 'zoom' series.
Plus it's still a rumour, he probably wants to buy a new phone as soon as possible.

Ugly is certainly an accurate description. :good:
They're also a nightmare to protect with a decent case.. Imagine sticking one of those in an Otterbox Defender... It would make my DSLR look small! :laugh:

True, and if you want to buy that 'really nice' case from the phone store, they are really expensive. :')

agree with you two..

The best cameraphone right now is the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, it has a 20.7 Megapixel rear camera, which is pretty high for today's standards. Most high end phones only have 13MP or so.

It should be the s5 or the xperia z2 camera.

IMO, you should look for OIS if you are looking for a good camera phone

About buying

Hello
A simple question. Is it worth to buy a note 3 now or is it better to wait for xperia z 2? I mean is note 3 still a fast phone?
Maybe note 3 isbecoming a bit old now or?
sent from my stone Note N7000

A bit old? Lol... This ain't Apple son... The Note 3 is still very powerfull and fast and it will be for a long time yet.

Note 3...almost guaranteed to have better battery life. Z2 is quite chunky even tho note 3 is bigger it is slimmer with better screen ratio compared to borders. Its not water resistant but. Xperia will take my money when battery is better and design isnt so chunky.

What! you have not done no research on the Note 3
The note 3 will still be faster than most phones in a years time.

Depends on your needs
Note 3
-------------
Removable battery
S Pen
Bigger battery
Z2
------------
Water and dust proof
Faster processor
Better build quality
_______________
If you're into rooting and custom Roms. Samsung is much more fun as builds are released often.
I using note 3 it's very fast and it's constantly on power saver which limits the cpu.
If you need 4K video be sure to get the 4G model N9005
I wish the build quality was better though. For a flagship device it doesn't have the premium feel of an iPhone or HTC

I personally think you should go with the note 3 I had the z1 and yes build quality is amazing with Sony but with major updates Sony pretty much makes a train wreck out of the phones

This phone is amazing! The s5 has a little better cpu as the z2 but 3gb of ram in the note make it kinda future proof, it will be around for a lot of time as one of the best on its field.

Funny thing is I love the LG I have currently, I bought it sim free and I've only had it about a month but it's so good that I want that speed and smoothness on an even bigger screen so I ordered the Note 3 yesterday. When it arrives I'll sell the LG G2.
I can't wait till the N3 arrives, I've previously had the Note and Note 2 and the Note 3 looks like a step up.

Opinions? Nexus 5X or Xperia Z5?

My phone is due upgrade next week so been looking at what's about currently...
Really unsure what to go for but possibly thinking the Z5... What do people think? Any other suggestions?

Xperia Z5 seems to be a really good option and seems to beat N5X in almost every department.
But if I were you I would still go for N5X. The UI fluidity and development offered on Nexus lineup is unbeatable.
Also for a poweruser the revised 810 chipset might suffer heating issues but 808 chipset has absolutely no complaints yet.
Sent from my Nexus 5

See... I love the spec of the Z5 but there's a lot of bad reviews about for its camera, which is supposed to be one of its main features! I don't play games on my phone so heat would never be an issue regardless.
But the 5X doesn't really seem much of an upgrade from the 5 from what I'm seeing. But i do love my Nexus 5 on how fast it always is

I totally agree with 5X not seeming to be that huge an upgrade. But if Z5 suffers from bad camera then that defies the primary reason to switch to Xperia. So why not consider a different option altogether OnePlus Two?
(IMHO I wouldn't switch to OP2 but it's a good phone from what I hear)
I would keep N5 till thanksgiving or later till I get a good deal on N6P. Hopefully by that time N6P reviews would shed light on how its metal body holds up with the 810.

Wasn't the z5 ranked best mobile camera? I thought it had a great camera.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using XDA Free mobile app

It does, however, first batch of production suffers from a manufacturing flaw whereby the left edge of photos is blurred out compared to the right edge. Once this is corrected, it will be a fantastic camera. I'm really hoping my second Z5C doesn't have the camera issue, just sent my first one back for an exchange.

Does this apply to the z5 not the z5c as well? Also I think the op was referring to the full sized version. But thanks for the heads up!

Yes. Both. There are reports from users on these forums with the regular Z5 with the problem.

I wouldn't want the OP2 cus it's poo cm based
Think it's worth waiting for a newer version of the Z5? Think they'll make one or it'll just be software update?

I'm sure it'll be fixed, it's just a question of how long. It's worth noting that not everyone's Z5s have the issue, it's not affecting all units, just some of them (it's a lottery currently).

It's like there's currently no phones out there worth actually upgrading to. Seems to be more and more bad reviews on the Z5 which is such a shame

Phone to replace my LG G4

I bought an LG G4 3 months ago on swappa. I have since regretted the decision. Everything has gone wrong. It drops WiFi, and data locks up on cellular meaning I have to toggle airplane mode in and off and it's dropping calls. It also no longer charges so I have to swap batteries every time I want to charge. This phone has got to go...
My phone needs.
-1 day of battery life with at least 6 hours of screen time.
-quick OS updates
-decent camera with manual mode preferred
-good water resistance rating. Should be able to survive being in my pocket through a good rain storm.
-decent quality screen in sunlight.
- t mobile band 12
-less than 300 on swappa
What I don't care about
-benchmarks, as long as the phone is responsive.
-Screen size.
I mostly just use the phone for Facebook, Web browsing, and watching videos. I don't play games.
Is there a phone out there that can live up to this. I was looking at the moto x play, but it never came to the US and lacks band 12/VOLTE

HTC one a9 pretty good
Lg flex 2
Lg v10
Sony xperia x
Sony z3 plus
Samsung s5 or s6
Nexus 5X

I suggest you Sony Xperia Z2 as this flagship is worth buying.. And the variants of Sony like Z3 Z4 Z5 will be better if you keep them aside.

I have never needed to contact oneplus, so I have no opinion on after sales care. I don't think at this time I would bother with the 1+3 as the 1 is still so good, but then again there's more to life than a smartphone.

I'd same price, would you get the S7 or A3 2017?

The S7 of course, did you check the specs of both devices?
A3 doesn't even have a full HD screen

Of course but was thinking more from daily form factor use.

You realise you're asking if S7 owners would buy a crappy low spec'd device instead of an S7, in the S7 forums?
