Sony has recently launched the XPERIA Z2, a device which sony claims to have the MOST VIBRANT DISPLAY ON ANY SMARTPHONE TO DATE.

 

Samsung recently launched the samsung galaxy s5 which puts samsung in the water resistance game, and has the most powerful processor in an android device the snapdragon 801..

 

BUT THE XPERIA Z2 also has the SNAPDRAGON 801.. wait.. so they are equally as powerful? No.. although the xperia z2 is clocked to run slower, THE SONY DEVICE TAKES A HUGE ADVANTAGE IN THE FACT IT IS ONE OF THE ONLY SMARTPHONES WITH 3GB OF RAM, while the s5 is at 2GB..

Z2 VS S5

SNAP DRAGON 801 VS SD 801

TWO STEREO SPEAKERS vs a random speaker in the back

20.7 MP VS 16 MP

3GB OF RAM VS 2GB OF RAM

5.2 1080P VIBRANT DISPLAY VS 5.1 1080P DISPLAY

WATER PROOF VS WATER RESISTANT

FASTER UI FROM SONY KIT KAT VS KIT KAT SLOWED DOWN SAMSUNG UI


 

most comparisons have but the z2 to have a better display.. a faster interface.. a better camera.. and it is more water resistance than the s5.. the z2 also has better SPEAKERS.. AND A LARGER SCREEN than the s5.. with MORE RAM..  THE ABILITY TO ADD UP TO 128GB OF MEMORY WITH MICRO SD, and a 20.7MP camera (it is considered the best camera on a smartphone.. ) has sony launched THE BEST ANDROID DEVICE TO DATE?????

Maybe, but usually more expensive...

I had lots of Sony stuff in the 90's, but today I only have a Sony TV because it has the lowest input lag in the market and there was a pretty good deal.



I'm very happy with my Sony smartphones, the last three I had were SE Xperia Arc S, Xperia S, and now an Xperia Z. Can't really compare with Samsung's though cause before I bought the Arc S, I had only Nokia's (N95 was sweet, afterwards they dropped the ball so low)



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Mehh, I like Amoled screen better than Sony's one based on the last gen phones btw which is why I choose the s4 over theirs

But yes, Sony does beat Samsung in terms of specs but as always, Samsung will beat Sony in terms of sales cause Samsung are gods when it comes to marketing

I won't be getting a new phone until next year.... not sure which i'd get right now... but my wife has the xperia z1 and it is pretty freaking cool... meanwhile I still have a galaxy s2 /o:

Also the xperia z2 has a bigger battery at 3200mAh compare to Samsungs 2800mAh
xperia z2 also offers slow mo recording caption, 720p at 120pfs
front camera is 2.2mp compare to samsungs 2mp


Xperia z2 wins hands down



I'll take an HTC One over either Samsung or Sony's offerings.



The Z2 camera is NOT considered to be the best camera on a smartphone that title goes to a nokia phone.

And just wow at the poll results XD

Z2 is certainly up there with the top android phones. You cant go wrong buying either of them imo.

I like Sony's phones much more, that's why I've bought an Xperia Z1 Compact and I absolutely love it! Samsung has no answer to this phone whatsoever.

The thing I like most about Sony smartphones is not the power of the hardware, but the fact that they just look so elegant and tight, while Samsung's just look cheap in comparison. Cheap plastic vs. nice looking plastic and metal. The design is so much better, there is a much more professional vibe to them.

Also they have the physical camera button, which is a big deal to me. And they are water proof. They tick in every box. For me Sony > Samsung.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Only signed a 2 year contract for a Z1, lol!
