Z users what will be your next phone?

[ymc1988]

Z was released 3 years ago, still usable but its always nice to have a new phone, me myself would probably wait for mine to be completely dead before replacing it, but i was wondering what would everyone get if they are gonna to replace their Z right now, OCT 2016?

tbh the Z is a very disappointing phone, after owning many sony phones i wont be buying from them again, or any flagship phones for that matter. i think the Zenfone 3 or Oneplus3 would be a great and cheap option right now, and i am asking for your opinion/suggestion

I bought a Xperia Z2 after my Z. The Z belongs now to my wife and after 3 years it's still rocking.

None - I currently own 2 6603, just transfering the primary one to Resurraction Remix after 1/2 year testing on the secondary one. And Nougat will come from the same source. There is no real reason anymore for a new gadget - as long as the current one is supported here.

I upgraded to the T-Mobile LG G Stylo that I got used, via a local Facebook "yard sale" group, for $100 with some accessories.

The only thing I really miss is USB OTG, so I still use my Zperia Z for OTG with my SDR receivers (RTL-SDR, SDRPlay) and my FLIR One Thermal imaging camera.

I love the larger 5.7" screen, and the phone's not really that much bigger, band 12, which gives much better data coverage in many places for me, Marshmallow, better performance, longer battery life and replaceable battery, and more. And it has a stylus, which comes in handy for some web sites that don't have a good phone-friendly (large finger friendly) interface. It also charges quickly, though the Sony was also pretty quick on my higher current chargers.

I wouldn't need the Sony if the LG had OTG. Also, the notification LED is only red, not multi-color like the Z, but that is very minor.

I just bought used Xperia Z3 Compact for 120€ and it works fine, i was thinking of xiaomi or other chinese phones but they are too sketchy to buy, so far this was a nice upgrade, especially screen wise

edit: also LG V20 would be a nice phone to have, if it ever comes in my country and price drops, a bit too expensive now

i really wanted to get xiaomi redmi too, their rom and price are very good, too bad they have been caught too many times for sending data back to china. i have read that lots of these chinese devices are used as DDOS attack zombie bots, its a big no no for me

why would you get 2 Z brother, the screen is crap, the lag is horrible, the charging is slow etc.

 

[dave_id]

got a LG G3 (with fulmics rom)
for the price it's awesome.

I cannot get ENOUGH of Xperia Z,

Trivia both are rooted
Xperia z c660x is UB running on @shoey63 kernel having doubletap to wake feature! the fone is just amazing!!! it can be showcased as CLASSIC smartphones like we count nokia3310 as basic mobile phone , even after 3+years the mobile runs smoothly! , <3

Easy answer: I am using the phone for navigation on my motorcycle. The second one is just a backup if something goes wrong during long trips. This happend once on my 3500 km trip to Russia this June and I was happy to have the second phone at hand - And I do like the screen, the phone works perfect with CM13 resurraction remix - no lags, just cheaper to keep this good running phone (got the second one used for 70€ ~ 80$US)

Come on - I am a physicist - and I have learned from experience: Never touch a running system - and my XZ is running smoothly

PS: with the current ROM my XZs support fast charging as well...probably I will not try this - I prefer non exploding Sony to Samsung

Z5c design with SD820 and XZ-like camera

ohh.. it's just in my dream
I think I'll go for XZ

haha i remember one day the speaker stopped working for some reason, i cant take phone calls all day, made me so mad and almost smashed the phone.

iirc the screen of Z is worse than any phone at the market at the time, i remember it was even worst than the then year old xperia v and mid range xperia phones, washed up colors, terrible viewing angle, terrible battery drain to name a few. idk maybe the screen resolution/cpu speed/battery wasnt ready at that point, i'd rather have 720 resolution and a smooth phone. i remember i was devastated finding out i cant play old games like GTA VC on this expensive premium phone

I got an iphone 6S and i am still using my Xperia Z as my work phone.

i am actually now happy with iphone 6S but was wondering if anyone could team up with me to try and install iOS on xperia Z i have a feeling that it would be able to handle iOS without any problems as such. What are your opinions?

Mi5 S or Xperia XZ
