Guys I just checked out the m8 and the z2 in Croma. I'm still confused about which one to buy! :(

My main concern about z2 is the speaker loudness for media and especially for ringing. Is it true that only one speaker works when the phone is ringing??
[Xperia Z2 General] KyleSforza:
Both work, and its the second loudest device in market right after M8, I can vouch for that. Even the tablets aren't this loud, been playing Injustice since 3 days now and even at 50% sound the sound affects and music are AWESOME! You're going to get addicted to this. :victory:

The only time only bottom speaker works is during speakerphone. I think that'll be fixed with a S/W update.

I like everything at full, its so loud during Injustice that I just can't play it at above 80%, and brightness is now set to 80%, earlier I was using it at 100% for first 2 days.

PS A question to the people with a white Z2, are the plastic edges still as white as they were when you first got the device?

I think its leaving color.. the edges look greyish now.

Any Z2 owners in Chennai?

I'm in Chennai right now, if any of you already have the phone, can I please come and take a look at it? There's only so much you can check with a demo piece in store. :(
[Xperia Z2 General] devilsdouble:
I will get the Z1 compact, nothing better available as far as I can see. The latter phone, or any fragile phone for that matter is out of my league.

Great! I told you I would take it.

Anyway, if anyone else has it PM me with your price please.
[Xperia Z2 General] One Twelve:
What made you go in for Z2 ?

From what i can see

- battery life has improved 50% which is a big plus

- screen has better viewing angles tho not too many Z or Z1 owners complain too much.

- front facing speakers

- no more easily scratched shatter proof films.

- the video stabilisation is impressive.

The Z2 is the phone everybody would have liked the Z1 to be especially in the camera dept. Though i find the Z1 shots are still sharper on zoom. Z2 firmware has some work to do here but not too much. Not hearing too many reviewers slam the Z2 camera like they did the Z1, quite the contrary so auto works better because reviewers are incapable of using manual. But that's what you get when Sony gives themselves a year to work on it instead of 6 months.

Otherwise i figured a Z1 owner would wait for Z3.

Am still holding out for a unit without a smartband or that folio case. Just the phone. Which would bring it to the 42-44k mark.

The noise cancelling earphones are attractive but useless if they can't take a call or allow track changes, basically have no multi-media button.

wireless charging is nice, but not essential.

hmm, still 1080p, or will they go with the quad hd nonsense.

S805 only not like going from S400 - S600 - S800. We just get 800-801-805 now.

Basically all the outstanding screen issues of the Z2 get fixed here. Why they make us wait this long :silly:

Also get the feeling that this will be for the Z2 ultra rather than Z3.

This will bring the xperia line closer to the S5 which has the best screen of the flagships now. Screen is the only best thing S5 has.

Yeah, i saw your pic, dunno why the viewing angles look off on it, but people that have tried both would give it to the S5 for screen no contest. The daylight viewing alone is much brighter, been that way since the S4 with the boost in auto. Z's screens when compared to the competition are just too reflective currently.

Besides what you've already pointed out -

- slightly better feel in hand compared to Z1 (lighter, narrower, slimmer)

- 5.2" screen vs 5.0" fitted in almost the same sized body (few mm longer)

- 3gb vs 2gb ram for better multitasking (ram is the bottleneck for the current gen smartphones imo)

- Swifter & smoother UI experience compared to Z1 (maybe coz of better optimisations)

- Some cool features like tap to wake, camera features, high quality sound output via usb, smart backlight control, etc.

- Noise cancelling tech (via headphones) - requiring specific hardware in the phone (lacking in Z1)

- Also like the refresh design with narrower bezel & silver coloured camera & volume keys (which look more elegant than Z1 IMO)

Moreover, I was in need of a new smartphone as my Z1 had to go to my younger brother (he likes it very much), and given the current lineup I think Z2 is the best!

I, however, agree that the improvements of the Z2 over Z1 might not be compelling enough to sway those with Z1 into buying the Z2. Battery backup, stereo speakers, better / bigger screen, better camera quality (despite having same hardware as Z1) are the foremost points to consider if anyone is interested in the Z2.

I also agree with you regarding the camera quality difference between the two. Z1 images do seem sharper (almost like better focussed) than Z2 (perhaps owing to the newer camera fw f900 in the Z1 vs older f300 in the Z2), but the Z2 images appear less grainy with fewer post processing artifacts (also less compressed in size than the Z1's).

I bought mine (Z2 black) with all accessories from a local sony outlet @ 46000Rs few days back. He initialy quoted the mrp but after a bit of bargaining he agreed @ 46k. As per the sony guy, the prices of Z2 are not going to fall for next 3 months, but that seems a bit far fetched imo.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Yes, I especially like the new movies app, lag / stutter free scrolling now :D! With all these apps (album, Walkman, movies) updated the sony UI now feels more cohesive and consistent!

Some other visual changes include detailed naming of quick settings icons, dialler app asking to enter name / number. But for me this update has fixed the highly sensitive touch (which I'd realised only yesterday). Before the update (.402), sometimes the screen would respond even without touching.

Could you please compile the ftf file. I rooted my Xperia z2 by unlocking the bootloader, relocked it today by downgrading to .55

Now the sony update service and the pc companion are not showing the .402 update

I know its a lot to ask, but if you can, please help.
[Xperia Z2 General] Dpk1:
Hi there! Sorry currently nobody has shared any Indian ftf (.402 or older) for Z2 here. You may try flashing any of those for D6503 but try it on your own risk. In the past I've seen people flashing LTE version roms on HSPA (Indian) versions though (on the Z1). But wait if you can, as I'm sure somebody will upload an indian ftf here. Also go through the development section and see if you can relock the bootloader. If you can then do it and then try SUS for update. I had given up unlocking the BL on sony phones ever since the Xperia S days, as it would break the DRM based features like X-reality (formerly BE) etc. There are methods to root without unlocking the BL for the Z1, and it's only a matter of time that someone finds a way to do it on the Z2 as well.

Anyhow, always remember to backup the TA partition before unlocking the BL on future sony phones. It helps in restoring the DRM keys on relocking the BL, so that you can restore your phone to factory condition.

P.S. - I see that someone has already uploaded the Indian ftf for Z2 (build .402) and that you've already thanked him. Also, I missed your post above. Anyway good for you, happy flashing!

On side note, I managed to recoed a 4K video of 3 and half minutes on the new firmware before i ran out of Storage space on my SD card. Could not go beyond 3 minutes on the previous fw.

P.s. Just checked the video and it is 3 minutes long not 3 and 1/2 but the camera did not shut down due to heating i just ran out of storage so that is definitely a good sign :)
