      Anyone have any experience with Sony Experia z2?

      Heard plenty of good things so much so that I've just ordered the Z3 which is due out next Monday (I've had ongoing problems with my S4 since getting it drenched out on a run!!).  Was going to get the Z2 but seen the Z3 on a special offer for only a fiver more.

      Hopefully last me a couple of years.

      If I was to have my pick of the phones at the moment I'd be taking out a HTC M8. Best of the bunch in my opinion.

      It was a toss up between that and the Z3. Camera was the clincher for me though.

      I've had mine a week now and it literally pisses on the Iphone.

      I've got the z2 compact, apart from the scratching, which is fixable apparently it is absolutely brilliant, superb battery life.

      Have had iphones since the 4 and now have a 5c, Useless things.
      The batterys lifespan is 5 hours at best.
      The layout and navigation is perfect, its just the lagging and poor battery lifespan that ruins it for me.

      Whats the point in having a phone when its dead half the time?

      You have probably got too many apps running, brightness too high, push data switched on, and other systems running full belt.

      Early October. I think it's the 18th in the US and 11th here.

      But yeah it does look awesome. Thinking about getting one myself on a separate contract.

      Well, decided against that and waited to early upgrade to an S6 Edge on a 12 month back in April.

      F***ing delighted with that choice! Samsung have really come into their own recently. Nobody can touch them.

      On a side-note, if anybody has any issues with their phones (technical or physical) - don't hesitate to PM me. Free advice is always good, right? ;)

      Although a love the idea that everything is synced, if you change your PC and don't get the data transfer right, you're screwed.

      The 'Genius's' are not that smart, and takes forever to see anyone who is supposed to know how to sort problems out.

      For me the 6 is just bigger than the 5, nothing really new of revolutionary, so now that Samsung do not sponsor the Chavs, I will be jumping ship.

      Have had a iMac for years and now with the family having multiple iPads around the house a iPhone just makes sense to me.

      A lot of people fall into that mindset. It's "easier" to stay with Apple than it is to transition out, right? Well, not really.

      You can easily sync your Apple content with Android devices now using apps from the Play Store, and Samsung have brought out a lightning to micro-USB cable that makes transferring data easy.

      In addition, with Apple you only get a 12-month warranty for a 24-month contract. Plus you're paying a massive premium monthly (or one-off) for a not-so-premium device.

      I've switched so many people now from iOS to Android and they've never looked back.

      Also, Skype > Facetime.

      I know mate, it's not easy to switch. Just hate seeing people overpay for garbage.

      United fans feel the same way when buying their shirts, I'm sure.

      The non expandable memory in iPhone is the worst thing.My sister has one and  its OS takes too much space IMO.

      If you are basically buying a flagship device then expandable memory is a must.

      Personally prefer HTC one flagship or One Plus  as a cheaper alternative to flagship.iPhone is too over priced IMO.

      Not really. The cloud options are easier and more secure ways to retrieve files, I'll give them that. SD cards are being phased out quickly by most manufacturers now, due to the benefits of cloud storage.

      The problem with the iOS is that each update stores the previous version on the phone, too. There's no way to gain that original space back unless you factory reset your phone, which you shouldn't have to do. Android, by comparison, simply updates and then deletes the old version.

      Cloud storage requires a sufficient amount of Internet bandwidth which unfortunately is pretty sh*t in my country.

      Hence here i would rather prefer an expandable storage slot instead of cloud storage.

      And for other reasons too i would prefer an Android.iOS has more restrictions that isn't suited to my use.

      You can just delete your backup that's on your phone.

      Bump.

      I put my S6 Edge through my business and at the same time my wife upgraded her iPhone 6 to the 6s.  Mainly because it is pink (Rose Gold?)

      I fail to see what any of the "improvements" do in all honestly.  You press it harder and it pops into something.

      Hardly game changing.

      And I'm not a bitter Android fan, this is the first Samsung I have ever owned.  I have an Mac Pro and obviously love my iPad.

      They are being out Apple'd by Samsung currently.  The machining on the S6 Edge is beautiful.

      Give your Samsung about 12 months and then you will start hating it. Have a couple of friends and they loved theirs until about 8-12 months in. One is now on iPhone (his first, he was always Android) and the other is thinking about going back to an iPhone.

      I started in Android (HTC) 3 phones back, like it till about 18 months and then couldn't wait to get rid of it. I'm a Windows guy too, no Apple fanboy here, I strongly dislike Mac OSX. But as for phones, I like iOS and have been nothing but happy with my last and current iPhones.

      I really like android phones but it pisses me off that they are designed to go slow after about 10 months, prompting an upgrade.
