Nice video, but please stop talking about "horrible viewing angles", I have the phone and the angles are just fine, you buy the phone for yourself, not for any of your friends who stare at it and complain about not seeing something on the screen... The brightness is set to adapt for lightning conditions, and I see the screen really good even in broad daylight. For anyone wanting to get one of these phones, I would really recommend the Z1 because it is absolutely awesome, and it handles anything I throw at it, with great multitasking, if you want to spend a little more cash go for the Z3.. I hope this helps anyone :)
The viewing angles are not "fine" and spewing insults like a drone won't change that. Every single review mentions and demonstrates the Z1's viewing angles, which are fucking awful. One of the many reasons I sold mine.
Z4 comming on January 5. and it will pack a 5.4-inch Quad HD display, 4GB of ram, Snapdragon 805 processor, an improved 20.7 camera and maybe a hardware update. =)
+adrianisen *At the speed test every phone should have exatly same OS and Applications, even theme, dude. So that test is just SH*T worth of watching.*
Not everyone is concerned about the viewing angle. And also the screen of xperia z and z1 is not as bad as you say. All these smartphones use processors with different speeds, so it is not surprising that different boot speed.
The Z2 is the softspot. The z3's speakers got worse, and only the 3+ has that issue fixed. The long LED light on the z2 was very nice looking, got ruined on the 3 with a standard small led. Altough the z3 fixed most of the issues regarding to leaking water into the device, which the z2 suffered from, but overall, I had a lot of phones and the Z2 was the best. It got water leaked in it half a year ago, now Im using a backup phone, and plan to buy another Z2 next month, which is the same price as getting the screen fixed on the previous one :I
The Xperia devices are all phones... Surprise surprise! The essence of a phone is calling and texting. You need a SIM card for that. Most people use a phone with a SIM card inside so that's why every time they boot up they think that they might have switched owners or something. Hence the language selection and SIM pop up
Would love to have seen you elaborate more on the comparison on all of these phones. Saw the Z1 in the store and wasn't impressed. So I'm hoping that the Z3 is much better in every aspect
adrianisen The screen first setup on start up is for this reason.... When the mobiles phones are in transfer and randomly start up then shut down for save the battery :) When you add simcard import contacts then dont do it again.
What's the point of caring about viewibg angles. Unless you're taking using the front camera as some mirror to see behind what's going on it's pointless. Only practical reason I see from a nuce wide viewing angle is if you're trying to perve/stalk/read people's personal messages but don't want to get too close. Actually it's a good thing having narrower viewing angles as it limits the onlookers advantages and enhances the privacy of the user. Dear Sony Oh shit. I just realised I've invented something amazing. A feature or featurette of the Z line up has been misunderstood. The viewing angles on the Z are bad but the Z3's are decent. For Privacy reasons it should be enabled/disabled to either widen/narrow or custom change the angle of view from screen to user. Call it "Private eye" . Private eye adjusts the angle of which the user's screen is viewable. A feature would be Auto turn on inmessages and emailes and Auto turn off in a film or web browser (depending on user decision)
I don't saw the difference of Xperia Z2- Xperia Z3, I think they are very similar. I prefer Xperia Z2, cause has a very good design and I think is faster than other Xperia, this Xperia has the same camera than Xperia Z3
I've had the black iPhone 4 and Right now I have the iPhone 5s and after researching the Sony Xperia z2 i'm definitely gonna buy. I just have a hard time picking the colors (black or white) bc i'm scared the black will have my fingerprints on the back of the glass but I hate the black screen and white back of the white one. I'm extremely OCD, any help?
You should get 4.4.4 fairly soon as it is being rolled out. You may have to manually check for the update and it may only work via the PC software suite (this is how I had to do it as there was no over-the-air update for mine). I have a factory unlocked version so if you have a locked one, it may take longer for the update to appear.
Kryzen Just got the 4.4.4 update today! I think because of Sony skin, it looks/feels no different at all. Perhaps v5 may show a change or I'll just move to Moto/Google devices for the raw experience.
Thanks for this video. What do you think about the new xperia 1 according to xperia z z1 z2.. Etc. Sony lost the software part. In the news Sony smartphone there is no geocalisation map in album, there is no Sony notes application which was very wonderful and had more functionalities that Google notes... Thanks for your response
Well you have the annoying screens on the first three ones because the Android version of the first three ones is different as you said earlier. I have Z2 with KK4.4.4 and it has the same screen and the same loading time as the Z3 (i tested it) so....yeah.
How he can make all his phone installs/restore with same apps and with same app/widget placement on each phone like that? Is it he do it manually or with apps? Thanks!
sony is even worse. i got the z3 with a freakin gap as wide as my arse between the display and aluminum border. im asking myself every time how a company can achieve that much of stupidity
Hi Adrian, Nice video, though two remarks: 1. Insert SIM to avoid the language selection popup at boot time. 2. Keep software the same when comparing startup time. As far as I could find, all 4 Z models are upgradable to Android 4.4.4. Set to factory defaults and than run the boot startup test :-) Keep up the nice work Adrian!, Cheers, Marco
+José Luís Lopes the z1 have a original screen protecter which has the logo Sony on it, i guess he ripped it off so the logo is gone, i'm considering the z1 and the z2 but still somehow prefer the z1 because of its design. Since you're using the z1, can you tell me about the battery life on your z1?
Dantes Vương after 2+years it still holds on well with 20+% battery at the end of the day with what I consider an heavy use, LTE browsing, a few heartstone games, RUclips over wifi and even some rv series during trips. I have a powerbank but rarely use it, really only on lile 4hours+trips where the phone doesn't stop but even then is more insurance than anything else
José Luís Lopes Thank you very much, i think i'm definitely going for the z1 and it will last for a day and a half with my usage and oh i forgot to ask, which android version are you using, kitkat or the lollipop?
Nahuel Siviero jajaja sos un genio!! te paso una pagina de un amigo que importa celulares, es de mar del plata, pero los precios son increiblemente buenos!! el z1 en cualquier compañia esta al mismo precio al que el vende el z3 electronicajck.com/
wow, no wonder why everyone is crazy for apple there lol. My grandma was visiting here in New York and just left yesterday to go back to Argentina and brought like 3 iphone 6 plus because everyone was begging her to buy one for them haha

If you have the z1 you dont have to defend it, the viewing angles just suck man...
You're really an ignorant brat dude if you really think so, or maybe I got the only z1 in the world with a normal screen panel.
I got the z1 for 5months now and i had a moto g before which had better screen in my opinion
But i gotta say that i am really impressed with this phones camera, battery, speed and hardware =)
The viewing angles are not "fine" and spewing insults like a drone won't change that. Every single review mentions and demonstrates the Z1's viewing angles, which are fucking awful. One of the many reasons I sold mine.
I like how you immediately start complaining about the start screen, trying to take away from the fact the z2 win this test.
OMG I know right? It makes me mad that people always think that the new one is better
I have Z1, planning to buy Z3 Compact
Save your money for Z4.
***** When Z4 launches you'll be like "save your money for Z5" LOL
Cristi Ursu Sony has said they wont be releasing 2 or 3 phones a year anymore. So maybe Z5 will be released in 2016 or something.
I guess they will make better phones if they will release a Z series per year ;)
Z4 comming on January 5. and it will pack a 5.4-inch Quad HD display, 4GB of ram, Snapdragon 805 processor, an improved 20.7 camera and maybe a hardware update. =)

Z2 Wins :)
MattTGN Feels so good to have one :D Doesn't it?
Good i have a z2 black edition
+Bradley Caslin me too
because y'all have z2, right?
My phone is Z2. But I don't suggest this. Hate this phone
I just recently bought an Z2 and traded with it with my Iphone and I have to say probably that Xperia Z2 is on of the best phone i have ever owned :)
Not everyone is concerned about the viewing angle. And also the screen of xperia z and z1 is not as bad as you say. All these smartphones use processors with different speeds, so it is not surprising that different boot speed.
i'd like to see the xperia z (on 4.4.4) compared to the z3... it would be interesting to see the differences between the first and the last model
R.i.p Sony Xperia Z2 2019-2022😭😭😭
Im still using Sony Xperia Z2 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good for gaming?
@@glennbobsch3688 it good but it gets really hot
@@glennbobsch3688 not really recommend it but for low budget you can go for it
Do U Have a FIFA World Cup 2014 Wallpaper for ur phone?

Z2 definitely is more fast! i love my Z2
Me too 😀 Did you updated to Lollipop because it is WAY better than the Kitkat version
George Geronikolaou yes! i did :)
And the battery is better than the Z3 MINDBLOWING check it out 👍

this is a series, he never do that on this kind of videos, check out his channel for more elaborated ones
It is.
If Z1 didn't impress you, Z3 might not impress you as well. They are basically the same phones just Z3 is a bit refined version of Z1.
What a dumb test....of course the new generation phone is going to be faster...

Adrian, you don't have Verizon phones, Boost Mobile phones, Sprint phones, Orange Mobile phones, Nextel phones and Swisscom phones.
What did u use to film this video with? Was it a phone?
better than iphone 15 pro max 🤘😎
I have an Z1 and my mum used to have Z3 but now she has a Honor 8X

Xperia got me hooked to sony! am buying the tablet version soon!
Do a gaming review with Xperia Z3 Compact and a Waterproof test like the previous ones!!!! Plzzzz!!!!
Z1 my favorite.water proof and all metal construction.
2:30 I also said!
Love this guy
Yup, my Z is still working fine. Is there a way to upgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 now rather than wait for Sony to do it sometime in future?
I heard there is one... But I would just wait for the official thing...
You should get 4.4.4 fairly soon as it is being rolled out. You may have to manually check for the update and it may only work via the PC software suite (this is how I had to do it as there was no over-the-air update for mine). I have a factory unlocked version so if you have a locked one, it may take longer for the update to appear.
Andy Mitchell Ok thanks - I'll wait if its imminent.
Wait until January or February, Sony said that you can upgrade all Z phones to 5.0 Lollipop by that time.
Kryzen Just got the 4.4.4 update today! I think because of Sony skin, it looks/feels no different at all. Perhaps v5 may show a change or I'll just move to Moto/Google devices for the raw experience.

the battery of z3 was at 32, don't you think that it affects performance ?
I don't hv any Sony yet, but am planning to buy z..! I think its cool
Galaxy S2 VS GALAXY S3 Vs Galaxy s4 vs 5
I hope to see another one of these videos when the Z4 comes out.

I have Xperia Z1 Compact, doesn't have problems like that, but.. ROM problems
WTF, why is your Z1 taking so long to boot up? Mine boots up like in 10-15 s :DD
How he can make all his phone installs/restore with same apps and with same app/widget placement on each phone like that?
Is it he do it manually or with apps?
Thanks!
you have to pic the language every time because some ppl shut down their phones and boot them back again becouse of the language
still stick with my xperia Z forever!
как для меня так Sony xperia z1 и z2 самые красивые,а если уже поточней так самый элегантный и аккуратный это Sony xperia z1.
I still using my Z2 to buy a Sony PS4
Weird... my Z3 turns on and off real quick lol. I was expecting a deeper comparison tho.
Pretty sure it didn't show the screen on the Z3 because you have a sim card in it...
z2 big fast
Why does everyone complain about the z1s viewing angles... Mine is perfectly good
So who copied the other? Did the ps4 copy the xperia or the xperia copied the ps4?
Sony The King.!!!!
z veya z2
why the z1 and z dont have the Sony symbol on the top of the device . please some one tell me
i still have z1 & i love't soo much but it's time 2 buy new one now :)
adrianisen If you have a Xperia z3 don't defend it. All of them is the best phone for all time.
When will the Z4 be officially released?
Its called the z3+ as the z4 its out now
good video :D
Who says you gotta be stupid? Ofcourse Xperia Z3 is more faster than those of lower previous flagships.
did your z3 bend or destroyed the glass yet?
We're talking about Sony here, not Apple.
sony is even worse. i got the z3 with a freakin gap as wide as my arse between the display and aluminum border. im asking myself every time how a company can achieve that much of stupidity
priv1leged If you treat a phone like shit of course it's gonna break...
Advice, dont compare other ppl to urself. My toys never break unless I got shitty stuff in the first place
priv1leged k
i got the Z, i dont like it but i want the z3 it looks very nice..
I love z2.💕
bro u can update z to 4.4.4 but u need computer and sony program :) easy to install, and lo lag in options like on 4.4.2.
techrax is your brother sure?
my z does not ask me which language I want to use every time i am turning it on!
You have a sim card inside. :)
something is not right with your XPERIAZ C6602 / C6603
Mine BOOTS amazingly FAST! with sim/sdcard data running on 5.1.1
what do you mean sony xperia z1 is a good phone
Just found out my phone is a sony xperia z, so hard to find cases for this now
Did you find one yet?
yes i have, thanks for asking haha
1 million almost :D
Original Xperia Z came out last year. That's weird.
Hi Adrian,
Nice video, though two remarks:

Insert SIM to avoid the language selection popup at boot time.
2.
Keep software the same when comparing startup time. As far as I could find, all 4 Z models are upgradable to Android 4.4.4. Set to factory defaults and than run the boot startup test :-)
Keep up the nice work Adrian!,
Cheers, Marco
