Upgrade options?

[rkanwar]

Hi guys. First of all I'd like to apologise if I've posted in the wrong section. This section seemed more relevant to me.

I currently have a xperia s. My upgrade is due next week. I want to ask what is the best phone now? I wanna go to the Z2 but I'm double minded. Has the z2 been upgraded to kitkat? What you guys think?

Its a great phone for me personally and i have a phone obsession basically owned most at one time or another, yes it comes with kitkat out the box.

I've had it for 3 days and so far 3 complaints.

1. front camera is really bad in low light (except when you use the camera app) in for example snapchat.
2. A lot of noise when i record (although it might be i was holding on the mic)
3. My phone looks too good so others get jelous. And I feel sorry for them for having so small phones (iPhone).

My few issues are double tap screen on barely works for me.

For me using my bose earphones the music is not loud enough for me its about 2 notches too low.

Earpiece quality could be a lil better, but its ok.

I got my Z2 yesterday and so far I haven't seen many problems at all, awesome battery life, I haven't seen a better rear camera aside from the reported overheating recording 4k and hd which I haven't seen, but I haven't recorded much. I came from the Galaxy S3 and it's a huge improvement. Upto now I have no regrets about my upgrade.

If you want my opinion.. It's perfect ? phone.. The only problem I had is the heat in the camera when recording 4K videos which I believ. It's software issue and can be solved in the next updates.

For the current 2014 models, Z2 for me is the best choice. S5 could have been good except the design is almost the same as my S2 which is good 3 yrs ago but sooo dated for 2014. S4 looked better for me. M8 is almost good except for the camera and the software support. HTC is still not doing well so I have little confidence with the company as of now.

The only phone that is better than Z2 will be the upcoming S5 Prime, M8 Prime and G3. If S5 Prime was launched instead of the normal S5, I might have bought the S5 Prime.

The only con I have with Z2 is the voice quality sounds like mono. The voice is loud and clear but the voice doesn't sound natural.

good choice, this is my first xperia phone and im really liking it, i do have a few small issues tho (nothing that makes me want another phone tho)

1) rooting....... only an issue coz my previous android phones have been samsungs, it's all different over at sony, when i first checked about rooting i was like why is there no recovery installed, wtf is a bootloader,

2) speakers volume...... they just seem too quiet, ive missed a few texts when my phones been in my pocket and i just havent heard it, not loud enough when playing music... having said that, they do sound good, cant fault the sound quality just the volume.

3) sometimes the tap to wake function takes a few tries before it wakes

4) bloody homescreen doesnt know what landscape is without the help of magnet

5) glass back........ ive dropped it a few times already, n everytime after a huge sigh of relief i realize i should peel the case off and hope the backs fine too grrrrr

6)............ nah can't think of another 1, except maybe that i can connect my ps4 controller to it, but i cant use it for remote play like a vita, that sucks lol, actually im gonna email sony n tell them they need to make this possible
