@doministry as usual your comments against me is as childish as ever. You seem to forget that all I actually did was say what I think and all you lot do is attack me. Don't you see it's you with the issue not me
Phone?? What phone?? |

I'm pretty sure all of these low-light shots were taken with auto mode on. I guess Superior Auto mode still sucks even on the new software. It's more miss than hit.
For example, this photo was taken at ISO 800. It didn't look very good, and with that lighting the ISO could have been lower. Though I guess it was focusing on a darker area, probably those in black coat.
Now look at this one, taken at ISO 125. Looks really spot on, very minimal noise and sky is clear black.
This one also looks good, impressive even as it was taken at ISO 1250.

so it's really sony's superior auto settings that make the photos noisy. superior auto tries to make photos very bright.
the xz1 beats s4 and note 3 on an ISO by ISO comparison as pointed out by photographyblog's review but based on photos being compared by various review websites, the xz1 camera produces photos with a lot of noise.
samsung's cameras are noisier at similar ISOs.
sony seems to think that ordinary buyers wouldn't be pixel peeping and they will just appreciate the brightness and details of the overall resulting photos. |

Some quotes from the 24 minutes preview by clove I linked on my previous post... and also some considerations
Quotes
"Stereo speaker sounds awesome, a massive step up from the previous model"
"Sony has gone away from the anti shatter film..."
"camera has the same hardware, but the images are quite a bit better"
"Call sound is really good"
SPEAKER TIME.... drumroll..... trtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrt...

"we are really impressed by the speakers in here..." YEZZZZZ
80,7 dB max in that shitty video! I want to see how it performs with Speed Metal 
Considerations
Black is gorgeous... no doubt my colour
he used those washed out background from Z1... but on the Z2 they look gorgeous 
It started his review at 1:54 with 89% and ended at 2:29 with 79%... what do you think? (keep in mind that it had MAX brightness, auto update on, screen always on, some music and a lot of camera usage)...
His fingers frequently get in front of the camera, I think its just matter of getting used...
creative effects have really been revamped! LOTS of possibilities  and every mode can be adjusted to your will! I love how the pictures rotate when you decide which effects to use

^I got used to seeing screens like Z1's with that same wallpaper where it would easily looked washed out at just a slight angle off. Nice to see it on Z2 without the same issue.

Another Speaker sample...
With Kate Perry ROAR...
http://www.xperiablog.net/201[....]A+XperiaBlog+%28Xperia+Blog%29
Shame it didn't arrive to the refrain!!! 
There's a huge difference but the video has crappy audio quality! 
happy too see the S-Force Sorround is in the options beacause up until now I din't see it anywhere (not even on sonymobile site, in the Z2 page)... I started thinking it wasn't really in the Z2, but this is a confirmation!  |

Yet another new speaker test against htc one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UneGgmSgu0U
Z2 actually has louder speakers but slightly less clearer then htc one. in noisy area Z2 speakers are superior and they sound better then one when playing basey music like hiphop. overall, impressive. |

^^
the camera sensor has almost the same thickness of the phone... this is why the top bezel will always stay relatively big because they got to squeeze there the camera sensor, phone sensors, top speaker, LED indicator, call speaker (or is it just one speaker?), headphone jack, etc.

@Amirprog
That is an awesome test! different music and with the direct competitor! spot on!
I'm really impressed by the Z2, it is really good with low sound, a little less on the high frequencies... AWESOME :3
Only thing wouldn't it be more correct to use the native AApllication for sound on both devices?
I mean using the Google Music app instead of the Walkman will all the tweaks to sound still active?
ClearPhase, xLoud, S-Force Sorround! I think they are active only trough the Walkman app, and they are really importants in terms of quality!
All in All AWESOME! 
@emerson_shei
WOW seeing the camera module and the phone one near the other really let you realize how good at engineering Sony is |

Sorry, I was joking! Anyway if you go on Youtube you can find some video where they put the Z2 against the iPhone 5s, the G2 Pro and the samsung S5... It is not really a display comparison but it gives you a fair idea of what to expect! 
But I think that this time they will not focus so much on the display quality, ad they did for the Z1, probably they will put their CONS on the camera! Just to have something to moan about!  |

Bad news!
The Z2 has been pulled off from the shelve in China. Moreover, the Z2 announcement which is going to be held in HK next Wed. has been cancled. There must be something happened with Z2. |
