[Xperia Z2 General] Ryland Johnson:
Exactly. This Gap conspiracy is getting blown way out of logical proportion. This sort of forum is great if one can navigate the useful information from the...not so helpful (nonsense).

The OP has managed to cause a real storm in a tea cup with nothing more than a sincere but totally useless and unhelpful aim at some market research that is of zero value.

There are numerous research problems with the OP's poll. One would firstly need to market research this forum and all forums where we have posted any comments regarding this phone and ask some very basic questions like why did you join a forum, was it to mix with fellow SXZ2 owners, read about the phone from owners or because you have a problem and desire to find an answer?

From what I can understand of forums it is the latter that most members join. To this end any opinions made here will be biased toward those who have a problem. Now what % of the ownership is that? Unless we know the monthly production run figures ANY sort of accurate data will prove absolutely useless as we cannot correlate returns against satisfied sales?

Lastly there is no option in the poll to write one has any production run phone WITHOUT A PROBLEM?

What grieves me is some owners will now read this thread and identify what has been described as a gap and rush to replace the mobile? This would be absurd. There has to be spaces between component parts to allow for different materials to expand and contract with temperature. IF the mobile was manufactured as tight as a drum it would buckle and break. Think of any other construction made with glass and alloys or metals like a building or bridge! If that bridge we cross every day DIDNT have expansion joints (gaps).............

Out mobiles are modern marvels of design. The Sony is water resistant and water will not enter any normal space between the materials. The phones are pressured tested by QC inspectors at every stage of construction and every working day.

There will be lemons

but this is normal and acceptable, even though annoying, in every device we ever purchase.

lastly, heat. There is a vast difference in heating and over heating. Yes my Z2 does get warm, possibly warmer than most other mobiles I have owned however take a look at the design and materials, the thickness of the phone and what can we expect on times but some heat? Again this is something that is being made a negative when every flagship phone I have ever owned has got warm? Really guys what can we expect? Look at the specification packed into a device that size made from glass and alloy :)

To those new to this sort of forum, take caution. Don't return a perfectly decent working mobile because this thread suggests there are

production run problems

. Read the facts and not opinions, don't take what I say as fact either do your own research into light and micro engineering and not to mention how one makes real valued market research and you will see this thread is rather full of misunderstandings of the basics in terms of QC and research strategies.

To the OP. I don't think you deliberately tried to trash the mobile. I find your methods of deduction are based on zero understanding of engineering, quality control and market research. Learn from it though .:good:
