Not providing noise cancelling headphones draws the line for me. If this was included, I was buying it on day-1. It would have been much better to include these instead of smartband.

i saw in some review mentioning both guards..
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
According to current Z2 stocks (outside india) they don't have any protection preinstalled. Which is a goos thing as SONY logo was embeded in the screen protector itself. And you can always go for any screen protector you want. I think thats good. Finally glass is all you get out of the box.

no no i am not talking about anti shatter film. i am talking about the normal screen guard that comes in the box.

benchmarking tests pop out at constantly lower scores when compared to GS5 and M8. Not just the benchmark scores but is also slower in real life app comparision. And it is the least feature smartphone ever. At least htc has much more features than Z2 .﻿

world is pool of fools..i came across 1 in xperiablog during comment on an article he was named RC.

do you believe that guy actually tells the Z2 needs to be priced at 35K-38K ..and tells its the premium price. the guy just doesnot know the real value of handset and is still living in time back when z was released
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
Display Comparison

Guys check this video. In this video the display of S5 and M8 is compared to Z2. I must say Sony did a great job on Z2. Mainly this video focuses on color gamut and display calibration. Overall I am impressed what Sony has done :D

Link : http://youtu.be/SS5DlQIhLTM
[Xperia Z2 General] rkial:
Value of handset is what people are willing to pay for it.

The cost of components is pretty much similar. Add 20% for the $ appreciation.

It still doesnt justify the 50k price tags all OEMs want for their phones.

I'm not talking about Sony here. All of them are over pricing their phones because people in India are willing to pay more.. Which is even worse when you consider the buying power of the Rupee is much less than that of the USD.

The pricing for unlocked devices in US has stayed around the same level. It has gone up over 40% in the last 2 years in India

Motorola were barely making a profit on the Moto G when they were selling it for $200, yet they managed to price it at 14k in India.

The taxes arent as insane as some would have you believe..

The top end phones are overpriced in India..
[Xperia Z2 General] badelemental:
I agree with you man. In US the price is nearly fixed for all high end device. Though they are also available in contract they cost nearly the same as unlocked device. But here in India with each flagship iteration price goes as high as 10K. The price needs to be regulated for every OEM.
[Xperia Z2 General] unmaskedfalesh:
We are no one to decide the price , its the manufacturers its just if you have money and want to buy go buy or else donot..thats what company tell.

what we are willing to pay is different thing , you cant tell if we want to pay less the price of certain item should be less.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

Also if Indian government keep control over the hiking price then only manufacturers will have to do something about the price or else we need devices and will have to buy at price they quote.

52k is too much. I converted the currency from singapore dollars to INR (both the device are releassed in singapore. S5 is 51k and z2 is 46k.

Why would a phone with better build quality and better hardware than its closest competitors be priced lower than them ?

People have unrealistic expectations when it comes to pricing. If you want it cheaper, might as well wait for a couple of months.

Not really sure how you can expect companies to drop the price in the first week as well? It's business 101 to loot the sheep who desperately want the phone on the first day/week itself. Still think 49/48 was the best you could expect from Sony.

Samsung s5 which has ir blaster, heart-rate sensor, etc..

Where as xperia Z2 is simple and no gimmick.

These are called hardware, they constitute for money, not better built quality. If people bought and spent money for built quality, then Moto X would have been 40k phone. Then Z2 should be as costly as Z1 right? Get your facts right.

Please point out where I said the phone is cheap? Not sure how you got that from my post. You seem to have misunderstood me and just interpreted my post the way you wanted to. :good:

I wasn't even addressing you but the thread in general. Expecting or even hoping the phone to be cheaper than the HTC (M8) and S5 is wishful thinking in my opinion. There is no single logical reason to think that it would be cheaper than them considering a) Definitely better hardware than the other two phones; and b) Arguably better build quality.

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

Do you really think the cameras on the HTC are better than the Z2? That the gimmicks on the S5 make it more worthwile than the Z2 ? As for comparing the Moto G with Z2 :laugh:. You have your own parameters as to what constitutes better hardware and build quality, I have mine.

No ones arguing whether its overpriced or not. I personally think no phone is worth 50 k but the reality is compared to HTC and Samsung, Sony is pricing the Z2 competitively and throwing in a couple of freebies (which HTC and Samsung have not). Can't really criticize them for that.
