From compact to a 5.5inch?
Before my Z5compact, i had LG G3, the smallest 5.5 there is, but i had a tough time with its lousy battery endurance and had to use it with a large 6000mah battery, so i thought that had enough of phablets.
I kind of miss a bigger screen though, the new edge will have a bigger battery capacity and lesser consumption, so an overall great battery endurance keeping the overall dimensions at a compact size, with an even better screen to body ratio than the earliest G3 bezel champion. And all that without losing the waterproofness of my current phone (which i really rate because i suffered from air humidity issues that affected 2 of my phones in the past)


I am really dissapointed by LG, i loved LG for G2, a champion of bezels, battery endurance and overall performance, but ever since those bezels keep growing and growing while battery endurance is getting worse with every new entry...

i love my g3...there's no phone (that i can afford) that can make me change it. i rooted him, installed android 6..better life, works better.

I ended up getting the bamboo styleswap back for my OnePlus One instead. :D
now that looks plain awesome :tup: i'd thought about buying a mi4 with a bamboo back, that's equally cool.

btw my brother has an iphone 6s, and it's fast as it gets, has impeccable build, surprisingly good battery life, but i just can't stand ios for too long. also, it's criminally expensive, i'd rather buy some hifi stuff and a chinese phone for the iphone price.

I heard it has issues with heating, is that correct? I was thinking about buying it but then I read some users reviews and I'm not sure if the Z5 is good or not!
most of the negative comments are commented by who never used z5! with heating i can say it's normal you can use cooler master app to help reduce the heat factor z5 is great phone and no doubt looks better(than other market leaders as you compare performance and price)
1-z5 has FHD
2-waterproof
3-best sound quality
4-4K display

are you sure about sony? the new x range is quite pricey for what they offer. btw all of them have basic d/a converters, sound quality with headphones is average at best.

xp z5 is my current phone and i'm extremely happy with it.so I would go for Sony any day. i wanted to go G5 but that's definitely too big.My friend has G5, says it's much better than his previous android phones and praises it all the time. with other brands like HTC,hawaei and motorola the only thing I know they made some really awful devices. im' not sure about other brands and their quality,performance what I want to know is if this Xperia XA is similar or better or less good in terms of performance and quality sound ,and can do better on a technical level camera compared to the Galaxy and iPhone and other brands
i found this site that compared between XP M4 with galaxy A3. M4 with this quality is a value for money phone IMO

IPhone has its very big upsides but at this moment I have an S7 edge as I like to change it up every couple of years. Honestly the S7 edge was no cheaper than iPhone
are you asking for advice or explaining your choice for the iphone?

Guys i got the samsung Galaxy S7 edge and i am using it for 2 months now and i fell like this is the best phone i ever had!
Possibly the best phone money can buy atm.
I am not a camera victim, yet i am somewhat disappointed from its daylight stills, but at night time, the performance is stellar, it can see the colors better than the human eye!
Its the smallest and easiest to carry 5.5 incher. Flawless screen to body ratio, without compromising battery capacity and water resistence. The battery performance is superb, it outperforms even the legendary G2 and Z3compact!
The super amoled screen is the best ever, with vibrant colors, only this time they are calibrted so that they can be real and accurate and not cartoony!
The trademark samsung bloatware is nearly gone and the UI is extremely smooth and responsive.
Finally i may have found a phone to keep for a year at least, maybe even two!

It depends how you rate and define quality as though galaxy s7 is released in March 11 and it's pretty obvious s7 is better than previous android phones(G2 and Z3) you should compare your phone with other brands who released in 2016.

2015 flagship have followed Apple's example of making the phone slimmer and sacrifice battery capacity and they generally all had worse battery endurance than previous years.
Also many more upped the brightness and screen resolution, further injuring battery endurance.
It was easier to beat the 2015 fkagships in battery endurance, rather than the 1080p G2 and 720p Z3 compact.Those 2 certain phones were top of their class in battery performance and overall performance when they appeared, ever since it was hard to find a top perfrormer wich a decent battery. S7 edge with a 2k display has finally managed to surpass them!
Because it is becoming increasingly difficult to find such battery endurance at this level of quality and performance, i believe that it will take a long time before i move upon...
No more G3, G4 experiments for me, they just dont cut it!
