Compared to what ? And what do you mean by low light ?
1. Low light - no flash - handheld - moving objects or static
2. Low light - flash - handheld - moving objects or static
3. Low light - no flash - tripod - moving objects or static
4. Low light - flash - tripod - moving objects or static
5. Bar/Restaurant/Club - handheld - moving objects or static
6. Bar/Restaurant/Club - tripod - moving objects or static
What exactly do you consider low light environment ?
I can show you good quality photos from a smartphone in some of the low light environment settings mentioned above, and I can show you poor ones in others..
Guess maybe something like bar, club, or outside with only some street lights and no flash. And of course no tripod, like you want to capture something at any random moment. No one is going to carry a tripod with them 24/7.

What a Joke!
1) I do not understand Russian, he could have been reading the Divine Comedy for all the video for what I know
2) I, and nobody, can hear how the headphones sounded... only him... son there's no results to prove this...
3) Are you really saying me that the S5 speakers sounded better than the Z2 ones? are you really telling me this? S5 lack everything, they sound tinny and cheap! they had some more power to make up for the shitty audio they produce...
be serious at least |

Hmm,I don't know about that. Depends who is also behind the lens and know how to take decent night shots. I have got some cracking night shots out of many smartphones. Nokia do best with the Pureview at night but Sony doesn't do too badly. Sometimes

Since I am fluent in Russian, I will help translate the conclusion. The user does seemed to have tested using objective/fair methodology. He even used his V-Moda Crossfade LP (higher impendace) to compare the sound on both due to Samsung not sounding normal using the Sony 5 ring earbuds. He did claim that Samsung was louder by about 15% using it's earbuds, which have less impedance then Sony's (32 Ohm, which are harder to drive). The bass was described as more impactful on Samsung, while more velvet on the Sony. Mids were about equal. This is using headphone jack, not speakers. When sound effects where turned on (clear audio+ and others), Sony sounded louder/better. Using exterior speaker, he claimed the Samsung's mono speaker was louder, especially for ringtones, while movies sounded better on Sony (compare starts at 15:00 for Sony and 16:45 for Samsung).
He did document a problem of not able to throw the sound to the LG TV he has with Onkyo receiver which was on the network, while Samsung did it without any problems. Another issue both devices had is with playing Apple's lossless codec files.
Hope this is helpful. He did sounded quiet a bit positive re: Samsung, as he also has an S4 (might be Samsung fan).

Noise cancellation earphones do not come in the box. You need to purchase them separately ! IMO Sony should have provided them rather than that smartband |

Pros
Premium looks and elegant design
Impervious to water
Gorgeous full HD display
Very good camera
Useful software features and loads of tweaking and customisation options
Fast, speedy and zippy. Smooth too
Good battery life
Cons
Blocky design and large size make it a tad unwieldy to hold
A few software features look obnoxious
No exciting, killer feature |

Why?
I think it'll be a (almost) Japan-only product... it has a different design. littler screen 5.0'', littler battery 3000mAh... and then it is the same as Z2... it is really similar to the Z and ZL couple... except for the waterproofing...
@coolmen777
thank you a lot
now it has a bit more of credibility!
the only thing I can say is that louder doeen't translate into better all the time...
and in fact the speaker is way better in the Z2...
for the headphones I'll trust him, especially on the volume level being not so high on the Z2... but fortunately the Z2 headphones have noise cancellation... good for samsung if the s5 has great audio  |

Feels lighter than Z1 but everything the Z1 should have been which i was let down by. Compared to other prices i got £169 discount in Three store for £459 and all Three handsets are now sim free unlocked 😁

@Bonovox
Congrants.
sim free z2 for 459 euros? where are you from and which variant is it? in my country when flagship first launch the price is equivalent to 650 euros. EDIT: ah, you mean uk pound. well, it's still cheaper but the usual price differences i'm familiar with.

Welcome to the club! Got mine a couple of days ago from three. Great price too. It's network unlocked and bootloader unlocked too.
Been loving the z2 so far, much more than I thought I would. |
