AHAHA Note edge is definitely unique, honestly ,i am kind of fed up with samsung's design aesthetic, truly they should get something new, a little metal around the edge isnt gunna satisfy me personally, think of something fresh and new for once! the note edge has a unique feature to it, but at the same time its just soo familiar i feel as though i used it already 3 months ago!

MY SONY XPERI-ENCE :heh:
i bought the phone without warranty, upon purchase i turned it on (with the screen protection film on it still) and everything was working 100%. everything looked fine , digitizer was working perfectly i fell in love instantly
when i got home, i took off the film, opened a pack of screen protectors (spigen crystal protectors that i purchased with the phone) and i applied it (phone was off)
when i powered up the phone, i noticed a bright green pixel in the black screen of the sony start up, i got worried immediately , its a single pixel, thats just green right below the middle of the screen and a bit to the left.
i put the brightness on high and thats when i realised it was a dead pixel (or stuck pixel) and i began to panic, so i messaged the person who i bought it from, to see if they knew about it, and /or if they could give me advice about remedying the situation , but they said as the phone was purchased without warranty, i could not replace it with another unit.
so i did some research, and i ran a dead pixel corrector, which didnt work, but it did dim the pixel, its barely noticeable any more ( i have severe OCD when it comes to electronic things, im paranoid about my phones, and laptops and other devices! ) this is the only reason why i know its there
i asked my friends whether they saw a dead pixel or not and they thought i was going crazy, but i know its there its just there haunting me every time i turn on the screen. personally i hate to have any defects with any of my devices, i just go crazy if something happens, you cant imagine how i feel every time i turn on the screen, its like im being teased every single time!
after spending $4040 on the phone (without warranty) , charging dock, Spigen air cushion ultra hybrid case and a pack of Spigen crystal screen protectors, i was extremely disappointed
if only i had removed the film before i went home i would have noticed it.
:Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry::Cry:
REVIEW NOW
The Sony Xperia Z2 D6503
The Sony xperia Z2 is just an absolute joy to own. The very first thing you notice about the phone, is the phenomenal beauty of the phone, the simplistic design, slate black face (excluding the sony logo) , the heavy contrasts of the aluminium metal to the black. Its simply breath taking at first sight.
Sony used only the most premium of materials in the construction of the Z2, the Aluminium frame is light , but still sturdy, the subtle colours of the black version cascade onto the aluminium chassis which just makes it look balanced all around. The front and back of the phone feature Tempered Glass which just wraps up and captures the beauty of the phone all around. The colour of the unit i have is universally the Black version
However, its not really a black colour, its more of a grey-blue colour which to be honest is better than the black that i thought it was. The phone encompasses the essence of Sony and their Progress!
i honestly sat for 15 minutes just admiring the phone, as it was placed on the charging dock. its just something to look at. (that moment when the phone is sexier than the owner :/)
The Screen:
The screen of the Xperia Z2 is vivid, lively, colourful , and really awe-inspiring. The 1080P resolution of the screen is better than any 1080P phone that i have experienced thus far, even better than my G2 that i owned not to long ago. The colour reproduction is close to the true values of the colour, which really does show how sony considers their phone line. The phone almost seems over saturated like an amoled display but with use, the phone's screen became as close to reality as possible
The disappointment came when i found the unit i purchased faulty with a single green dead pixel just below the middle of the screen (these things really do bother me, it may not be noticeable to you but to me its a huge deal and my OCD is acting up just thinking about it)
the touch is responsive most surprisingly and is instantaneous. However another disappointment came when typing quite quickly, i have very large hands, and i noticed when typing quickly when you tap the screen it sounds like your tapping an aquarium glass, it worries me a bit but i slow down right after.
i would rate the screen 8/10 (because of my unit {10/10 with a perfect screen} )
Processing Package
The Xperia Z2 comes with a Snapdragon 801 2.3ghz processor (Cpu) with the Adreno 330 Gpu and 3gigs of RAM.
to me this combination was sufficient for the most demanding tasks any android could handle.
on the G2 i had previously i had a Snapdragon 800 with the 330 Adreno and 2 gigs of RAM, and that managed any game i could download, any app process, any benchmarking app ,and still wouldnt break a sweat.
the Z2 is even more capable because of the Sony Xperia Timescape UI
User Interface
The Xperia Z2 runs the Android 4.4.2 "KitKat" operating system with Sony's custom launcher with some notable applications additions, such as Sony's media applications (Walkman, Album and Videos)
The timescape UI is really just Stock android with some small Sony implementations. The UI is very aesthetically pleasing, nice to use, fluid , easy to understand and use, and most importantly its light.
THERE IS NO LAG WHAT SO EVER ON THIS PHONE, IVE TRIED TO MAKE IT LAG AND ANYTHING YOU GET IS THE TRANSITION TIMES SONY HAS PROGRAMMED INTO THE UI
The processing package that came with this phone , coupled with the light, non demanding UI with Sony optimizations really just put this phone over the top for me over the G3 and S5 , the performance is better IMO.
Disappointments came with the degree of minimalism of the phone, some of the basic pinch to access the slideshow where you can share or delete was not included, i found myself doing alot of things manually, but with proper setting up, the phone can be as easy to use as any LG or Samsung.
Camera
There is no introduction needed to express the level of quality in the camera. The Z2's camera is just mind bogglingly fast, efficient, CLEAN , feature packed, and easy to use. The quality of the pictures are amazing, the large 1/2.3" 20.7 megapixel camera with Sony's in-house G lens with Sony BIONZ for mobile image processor and Exmor RS for mobile image sensor is just a perfect camera combination for this phone. The camera is capable of HDR and 4K video recording , which just make the experience even better.
some of the features are yet to be fine tuned by myself, as i am only using the phone for 3 days.
i honestly can't express how pleased i am with the degree of quality of DAYLIGHT pictures.
Disappointments came in the night where shots began to turn grainy and with alot of noise, to counteract this , the superior auto mode had to be turned off and the camera settings set in just a way for the night photos to come out good.
other disappointments came when trying to access higher quality images , but yet still use the feature packed camera interface! at 8MP all features are available , however , at 15.5 and 20.7 MP there are only limited amounts of features that can be used.
nevertheless at 8mp , the quality of pics, as well as the processing of the imagine is just perfect! Better than any camera ive owned
Battery Life
The battery life on the phone is Yet to be desired! The phone lasts only a day with minimal use out of the 3200mAH battery, wifi off , gps off, data off etc. I honestly thought i had a problem with the battery as well, however after extensive research it was determined that the phone's battery needs to be calibrated by atleast a week of use from the new user. After this week of use, i will review the battery life!
Speakers
The Xperia Z2 speakers are truly by far some of the greatest phone speakers i've ever had the pleasure to listen to! they are honestly that good! the quality of tones , the deep bass that it achieves, the treble and highs it could achieve , it really does the job extremely well. the speakers themselves actually get really loud, but not at all harsh! on full volume when blasting Pehla Nasha or teri meri meri teri prem kahani hai mushkil the phone reverberates throughout the song. it really has a rich tone to it , and certainly is better than the loud harsh speakers of my G2
NOTE - housed within the top speaker, is the sexiest thing ever, the NOTIFICATION LIGHT is housed in the middle of the top speaker, and the light runs through at least 3/4 of the speaker , which makes the illumination just a fun thing to stare at and enjoy!
IN CONCLUSION
the Z2 is awesome. it really just screams Sony's Elegance, refinement, style and Class most importantly. Its not a showy phone packed with a bunch of features that i will never use, its not a phone what has insanely thin screen, its not a phone that is made for every and everyone.
It is a phone that defines Build quality, premium materials , careful decisions with design , it is a phone that is made for people that hold high standards to their user experience.
It is not a phone.
It is a work of art.:amen::amen::amen:

THAT ONEPLUS THO!
64gig sandstone version as well!

How is the OnePlus One?
Lol it's aite well to me. Performance is very smooth,gaming is nice
Audio is to soft for me via speaker
Built quality is nice n solid its like a thin slate very light in hand, the kinda of non slip back feels nice in hand reminds me my moto g (never got it sold but I still use it),nice screen good color not over saturated imo,camera is average nothing overwhelming overall a good phone
Haven't done any mods yet only a few days in ,but I'm just using for a month or so because I'm gonna sell to my budd jus bought really to sell over
Comparing it to the last phone I used, Moto G, no major differences to be honest. Performance is very good, app launch in a blink, battery lasts a 20hrs Max with me, my average day use is messaging and music along with WiFi on 24/7
It stands out in your pocket as a beast lol... I'm not accustom to large phone so this is my first and last probably but worth the buy in the long run. As for invite I posted how get on tuner but the usual hate proceeded... Will edit to add twitter page where it's given away almost every 2 days but its only a 1day buy invite!
If anyone looking for One plus invite check here daily Check out Android Police (@AndroidPolice): https://twitter.com/AndroidPolice
One my thing I've learnt from owning a high end phone and mid range phone is that no! You do not need to own a high end phone for stability and power. Yea its nice to have one but at the end of the day I only used about 6 apps daily what's app being the top one. And I just really wanted an high phone to have bragging rights over my padna [emoji23] [emoji23]
Otherwise I love my moto g until the end of it!

Wowwwwwww sonygoup! Nice review!!
It's nice to hear an honest review on the Oneplus one, everyone these days hyping it up so much, calling it the galaxy killer and the iphone killer etc!
Indeed it's a magnificent phone, and I love the design one plus took with the phone!
It's good that you compared the phone up with your previous device, makes it easier to have a reference point for me atleast! I can't believe you're only keeping it for a month tho but within the month I hope you really use the most out of it!
Wow man, the oneplus one.

DUDE if you get an oppo you'll be a legend in my books! The find 7 is one of the most beastly , beautiful phones out there, and its only available in china, i worked out the shipping + handling + cost of phone to bring it down to trinidad
it works out to be around $5200 for the FIND 7 ( not the 7a).............but for that skyline notification light, its totally worth it! that thing is just so sexy!
