Z3 is better than Z2, even in term of design.. but of course it is subjective matter.. watch the comparison video in youtube and you'll know why..

as for Sony Mobile, I'm sure Sony will retain it and not letting it go like the VAIO..
Sony Mobile might need to reconsider its intention to introduce flagship phone every 6 month, it s better to do it annually.
I mean, they spend thousands/millions in R&D for one phone, and need to spend another on another phones for every 6 months? that's ridiculous

That's not true if you consider that they are just constantly "improving" it over the 6 months period. It still has the same build, only refined materials and edges, and a slight update on the innards. I don't think it would take a year's time to figure them out. They are running a different concept. One phone, few generations.

Sony was right all the time that a flagship phone should be updated in every 6 months period, it's just that they neglected sales volume. How can you sell something you call a flagship phone, while in the same time making sure that it will be replaced in a 6 months time? Consumers would simply skip the current generation and wait for the next generation if their phones are still functioning well at the time of release.

If you ask me how would they really get back into the game? They should make the next Nexus device. Well, just my 2 cents anyways.

Well I think Sony makes good devices in the Xperia Z series. Waterproof features, good camera, lag free ui, good battery life with stamina mode and the list goes on. Not everyone thinks highly of the Nexus or how every device should be made like it. Sorry but I never batted an eyelid on any Nexus devices before.

Of course you won't, because there aren't any worthy Nexus phone yet. When Sony is to make the next Nexus phone, say that again.

In America, the Nexus is an important device in Google's lineup. It gives you the pure Android experience.

The Nexus made by Samsung was kind of a hit back then. It then changed to LG for the last 2 generations as the manufacturer and virtually non of us Malaysians are interested in a LG products, given their poorly managed after sales services in Malaysia. Not even the telcos dare to import more Nexus devices in these days. Due to the failure of the Nexus 4 (since LG became the manufacturer for Nexus devices)

If the Nexus device would be Sony, it will be a win win situation. I'm sure Sony will bring the game to a whole new level. Imagine a Z3 running Vanilla Android, with their build quality, and water resistant properties and subsidized price RM1499 for a high end flagship phone, it would rival the iPhone or Samsung well.

In fact, I don't think Sony has any problems in the hardware department. My biggest concern is their software department. Hence, that's why I say if this two company mix together to make one device. It would a great one. Not to mention their camera performance. Sony will be the perfect canditate for the next ultimate Nexus device.

Well, just my 2 cents anyways. Take it with a pinch of salt.

Well, after being using the Xperia Z1 Compact for so long, I didn't find any faults with its Android. So hence, no worries about its software. Google makes android software, its up to independent phone manufacturers to enhance their version of Google's Android. It is not certainly that Google's Own version of Android (you N5 fags call it pure Android) would be best for all users. Different users would have different preference. Frankly I find the OS on the N5 to plain and simple to my liking.
*
But the Z1 compact was released only 5 months ago in Malaysia? Plus, you can guarantee that your Z1 compact doesn't even have one single bug or experienced a FC before? That's great my friend. My advise is, don't update your software. You've already have the best Android version for your phone.

I didn't say Sony's version of Android is faulty nor that the Vanilla version is the best for all users. What I'm saying, is that Sony's software department is always not on their strong side. In fact, Sony's ADVANTAGE is their hardware department.

And a vanilla Android IS NOT Google's own version of Android, smarty pants. Other manufacturers customize their own UI BASED on them. So they are IN FACT THE PURE ANDROID without any UI customizations. The main advantage of the vanilla Android aka Google Play Edition is that they get guaranteed software updates. New features will be added more and more over time. Rather than your so called "enhancement", which is most of the time, are just marketing gimmicks and a memory hogger.

And if you find the Vanilla version too plain, you can always download custom launchers such as the Solo Launcher, GO launcher & etc. to spice up things.

And please mind your language. Plus, I don't own any of the Nexus devices.

Like I said again, Im going to say it AGAIN. Whatever your preference is might not be the PREFERENCE OF OTHERS. Who are you to say "the so called enhancement are momory hogger and marketing gimmicks"? Are you better than the developers at Sony or Samsung? Are you a developer yourself?
Its just me that I dont like your said Vanilla Android. You have a problem with that?

"Mind your language?" You want a piece of me? You are most welcomed  yawn.gif

I ALREADY MENTIONED in the first post that IT'S JUST MY 2 cents. I agree with you that everybody has its own preference and my preference is vanilla Android. My choice is vanilla Android, I don't care as long as my device runs fast and gets updated. I don't care about those enhancements which you can add on later with launchers and such.

You don't call those Nexus 5 as "fag" ok? Show your respect. You can tell that in the Nexus 5 thread. Tell them. I dare you. Call them fag. Don't macam pandai here. It doesn't take a software developer to see how shitty those so called enhancements of theirs.

Grow up. This is a discussion forum, not a place for you to look for a fight. I have my rights to say WHATEVER I want. Not intimidated. cool2.gif

now lets sit back watch Sony's show. thumbup.gif

by the way when it comes to software, i can guarantee that the 4.4.4 firmware for Z Ultra is pretty stable.

tongue.gif No worries.

Yeah, actually the UI on Xperia devices is actually pretty close to the stock UI, which makes them pretty good to use.

Yeah, you should see the ad for Remote Play by Sony.

Bunch of friends come over a guy's house and took over his TV, so he went into a corner and turned on Remote Play.  laugh.gif



Oh their new ad emphasises this too, just released a few hours ago.

LOL. Forever alone.

Anyways their background music don't seem to fit in the video very well?

Plus, who would come over your house just to watch some skateboard video? My friends would've grab the joypad and play together with me. LOL.
