i bought Alpha few days ago. it feels better in hand than Xperia. In my country iPhone costs 350$ more than Alpha.

Only bad thing for alpha is battery life. starting day at 8am and with a lot of calling, web browsing, email writing, at 10pm battery left at 10%.

      I have the Z3 compact and I love it. I would have liked wireless charging.. the magnetic charger is ok but too light.. You can't pick up the phone with one hand without also picking up the charger!

              My take on all three:
              IPhone : best screen, premium looking, better hardware software integration, steep pricing, not compact as it used to be, less customization.

              Z3C: battery, most compact, great hardware, cheaper, great features, front speakers, but screen should have been of higher resolution like htc M7.

              Alpha : I will not recommend. Nothing beget then above two.

                Many Sony lg htc and all people suffer from shattered glass..

                How's that denial. The z3c is in no way a clear winner. Speakers and battery life are it's main wins.

                        While iOS doesn't offer much function ality, the Samsung looks cheap. Sony Z3 Compact is the most sensible candidate here. Keep in mind the pics used for comparison here are taken under the scorching Sun and hence the Sony pictures s appear to be washed out. Most pics we take however are in restaurants and in low light conditions. This is exactly where the Z3 compact shines

Giving the fact its 18 months old, its still up there with the new boys. The HTC Desire Eye is on my radar at the moment actually, the 6 & alpha are ok but the Z3C deserves to win this!

                              Wow, lets compare software compiled and optimised for specific CPU against JIT code running on a VM designed to run over a very wide range of hardwares. Talk about stupid. I love how crapple fans are latching onto the "iphone 6 is faster and it only has a dual core". Well if it "only has a dual core" why doesn't the batter last twice as long? Could it be because the hardware is actually on-par and the differences we see here are the very obvious differences seen everyday between software running on a VM and natively compiled code. iDiots.

                                    This revieuw just proved that stepping to 64bit is way better than adding more GPU and ram . Iphone 6 killed the benchmarks . But when adroid steps over to the snapdragon 810 with 64 bit than apple lost hes last resort cause they will kill the A8 + futures ones . Besides performance apple has nothing new stil the same phone thinner and uglier + bending that was a great invention (i wonder how many phones they had to replace though ). Anyway iphone 6 looks like samsung s3 with metal really ressembling ! Have a good day peeps
