+1 for Z 10. This is my first ever Q mobile and I'm really amazed

Exactly. I hated Q from the core of my heart before seeing z9 and z10...they both are really something of premium quality!

Bro, what's your short review about Galaxy S6?.

Most reviews say it has terrible battery timings, but in my experience, its battery timings are better or atleast equal than its rivals. They are not bad atleast. Standby power consumption and SOT at moderate 25-50% brightness are great.

Non removable battery, slippery unibody design (though premium looking Glass metal) and lack of MicroSD card could only be its major drawbacks, but its all personal preferences. Other than that, its 10/10 IMO.

Sony world is trustworthy, offers official warranty and genuine accessories. They do not cheat.

There are 3G and 4G models too, so you need to be specific about their model numbers to know which one you are actually getting.

The online sellers mostly sell non official warranty models and provide their own so called warranty, in which only labour costs are covered and you have pay for parts replacement costs (even in warranty claim). Moreover, they exchange box contents (accessories) with non originals sometimes.

If you want to buy it, then get it directly from Sony, not via a third party who will "arrange" the pin packed phone.

Is it possible to get a pin pack Z2 from Sony world or they only sell current models?

Battery: 7/10
Screen: 9/10
Build quality: 10/10
UI: 7/10 (will improve with Android 6.0)
Camera: 9/10

When I went to buy the phone, I expected terrible battery life, as it is with every Samsung flagship. However, the S6 was a pleasant surprise.
I have major battery hogs installed, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp and Snapchat. However, I can easily pull out 3+ hours of SOT and a pretty decent standby time even with this 2550mAh battery. Keep in mind, I do NOT use power saving mode and my screen mode is set to Adaptive display and 4G is ON 24 hours a day.
You'd be surprised, but I will gather some screenshots today and let you guys know.

As for the lack of the SDCard slot, well I have the 64GB version, so it really doesn't bother me. [emoji41]

Screen is excellent. Screen mode set to Adaptive display or AMOLED Photo, the colors are crisp and vibrant. Best display on a Samsung flagship so far.

Build quality is just to die for. The phone feels great without a cover. The glass body on the black version is a fingerprint magnet and scratches are easily visible, but it honestly doesn't bother me.
However, strangely enough the back of the device doesn't heat up with light-moderate usage, the metal bands on the sides do.
When using the phone without a cover, after a while the metal band around the SIM slot and power button start to get warm, making it a bit uncomfortable.

I like the UI, but the beta 6.0 ROM looks even better. Will give a longer review once it's officially out.

Camera is great, I hated the camera on the S5 and this is a massive upgrade.
I am a noob at camera stuff, so I can't explain what changed and what didn't.
But I just like this one a lot better.

Its still available AFAIK. But don't know the exact price.

Looking at the lightning speed technological progress, a last year's flagship is now comparable to the current midrange devices. So if you think that brand new Xperia Z2 (1.5 year old flagship, which is actually now comparable to latest midrange devices) would be better than a current (latest released phones) worth 40000/-, then you are very wrong. Sony released 6 Xperia Z series phones after that, so its fairly outdated.

Positive Internet reviews for outdated devices are more of a waste of time, because they reflect past standards and do not measure upto current standards that the latest devices are offering.

Even if you read Galaxy S3 reviews, they are excellent, but now they do not measure upto current standards. So is the case with Xperia Z2 1.5 year old Internet reviews!.

Just saying it, not forcing you to look at other options.

Officially released
Galaxy A8 (great battery timings).
Huawei Honor 7.

Non officially released phones.
Nexus 5X (flagship performance and great camera which is same as Nexus 6P and comparable to top flagships). Limited 16/32GB storage and no MicroSD card slot btw.
LG G4 (flagship itself).
OnePlus Two (flagship killer, its a great phone btw).

Other members can also suggest better options. But they are better than Xperia Z2 atleast.

The reason i hate purchasing or recommending brand new outdated phones is that their prices can drop very much anytime and in case of resale, seller loses a lot. Latest models prices stay stable for relatively longer time, so i prefer latest models.

Galaxy A5 (2016)
Galaxy A7 (2016)

They will be coming soon and they have that very premium glass and metal designs like Galaxy S6 and Note 5.

Huawei Honor 5X may come soon with a very interesting price tag of about $250 (estimated). It also features a fingerprint scanner and a metal body!

They are pretty much suffocating (losing market share) continuously. Their products were not very reliable and durable either.

Now, Samsung, Apple, Huawei are going best.

Which colour to choose for Lenovo Vibe P1M? Need a vote!

White or Black.

Comment or like on the photos attached next post for vote.

I always liked white, but i think black suits it more.
