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.

Sony has some very cool low and mid-range phones too.
Quality and specs come to a price.
The Z is the flagship, not that expensive when compared to other flagship phones (Galaxy S III, iPhone, HTC One, etc)

yes sony does make some expensive products but they are world class and some of the best featured. Upto 11 Hours of Talk Time 13 Megapixel camera, Android 4.1 and 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Quad Core what else can you ask for.
Is there an android phone with spec similar to iphone 5S?
- 4" screen (or max 4.3")
- lightweight: 130grams or less
- Slim 8.5mm or less, not too big
- FAST user interface. Fast photos. Fast opening apps.
Thanks
The closest thing to that is moto g. And it costs only 1/3 of an iPhone.
the closest that you will get is the Motorola Moto G, which is considered a low-end device in contrast to the iPhone. So the price for the Moto G is much lower, but I assume you won't get the same great performance as on iOS.
There's also the HTC One Mini or the Galaxy S4 mini. Both feature a mid-range processor and over 1GB RAM. Because Samsung and HTC use their own customizations and User Interfaces I'd recommend using a custom ROM, like cyanogenmod. There is currently no official CM support for either devices, but I'm sure there are many ports available. These would offer a smoother user experience compared to the stock ROMs.
The best choice is to wait for the devices releasing early 2014. The Sony Xperia Z1S is said to arrive 2014 and this one beats all the "Mini"-Versions of other manufacturers, at least spec wise. It is said to offer a Snapdragon 800, 2GB RAM and an outstanding 20.7 megapixel camera. If price doesn't matter, what I assume when you're searching an iPhone-alternative, I'd wait for that one. I will probably consider it myself.

thanks error,
kind of disturbing how superior the iphone 5s is to the S4 mini...
http://versus.com/en/apple-iphone-5-vs-samsung-galaxy-s4-mini
How can there not be a superior android phone with the same compact form factor???
edit: the huawei ascend p6 is slimmer, but taller. higher resolution i think.

The mini versions have always been inferior to their flagship counterparts. Sony will release the Xperia Z1 mini next year though, same procesor and camera as its big brother but with a 4.3" screen.
Z1 mini has good specs,
But is bigger and bulkier
Not really a true competitor
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.

Hi everyone, an year ago I bought my Xperia z3 on Amazon on a sale for 200€.
Now the screen is staring to have some problems (dead pixels, warmer spots ecc), so Amazon told me I could either send it back to them and have my 200€ fully recharged OR send it to a Sony repair center.
Now my question is: is it worth repairing it under Sony's warranty? Or can I buy a better phone than Xperia Z3 for 200-250€?
Thanks in advance!
Have a look at the Honor 6x or the Nubia Z11 Mini S. Not really high-end compared to Sony Z3 though, but you can't get really high-end at a price of 250 € by focusing on the "standard" manufacturers (Samsung, Sony, LG, etc.).
You get quite good HW for little money when you decide to get phones from chinese manufacturers, yet the SW updates aren't always delivered and you may get bloatware and perhaps even spyware.

Thanks for replying. That's what I'm worried about, that z3 is still better than those phones. I mean, I could buy a Huawei p9 lite but meh, maybe Honor 8? That's a nice upgrade. Or I'll keep my money and buy some random xiaomi note, then put lineage asap
Well, the Honor 8 is about 100 € above your range.
The P9 is an alternative, the wife of a co-worker has it and is satisfied with it.
The Xiaomi Note is a phone from 2015, so the same as the Z3. And it doesn't have LTE 800, in certain countries it could be a problem.

U should consider xiaomi redmi 4x, the phone is cheaper than xa (in my country), the battery life and the devs community on this phone is wayyyy bigger than xa too. In this price point Xiaomi always the best choice
