I was only a SE user back in their rocking days and the call volume via earpiece was indeed low, very low for a crowded country like ours. However with root I can boost it, still.
Let's see. Don't know when G3 will launch. I might end up buying the S5.

I have used sony phones, The sony skin will feel great and light at first but starts giving problems after some days. Believe me, s5 and m8 are both way better than z2. Z2 looks good on paper but falters in real life with lags and freezes.
Try the isocell with stabilization mode and HDR simultaneously on. It matches Z2 in low light with these on. regarding the daylight performance, we both know that s5 beats z2 in camera.
Z2 heats up insanely and is slower in real life performance. Get m8 if you don't want to experience any problem and a smooth experience.
I don't believe z2 beats s5. S5 has a better screen, better UI, camera (just use the correct modes), processor, fingerprint scanner. Additionally, it doesn't have loads of heating problems like z2.
The only few advantages of z2 are extra 1 GB RAM, more battery and better camera in low light( auto mode) and stereo speakers( but they are 10dB less volume than s5)
Let me tell you, sony phones have pathetic call quality from earpiece. Try a friend's Z2 for calling, the volume is too low.
Personal advice, don't go for z2, go for m8 or s5 or wait for g3 to arrive.
Have a nice day

darkgamer, 03 Jun 2014I'm not saying that any of the s5 or m8 is better phone. THERE IS NEVER A BETTER PHONE. Can yo... moreWell, I am done with metal phones, period. In the past two weeks of using the M7 I understood the disadvantages of it. Horrible reception problem, both about GPS and phone signals. I was shocked actually! So I guess now I have some idea why Samsung is so arrogant to stick with Plastic.
Anyway, about TW, by now everyone knows it has LOADS of features, but the problem is very few people use them! Smart pause, Smart stay, really? They SHOULD remove all those non working / half working nonsense from the framework and focus on optimizing the TW experience. TouchWiz can never match Vanilla experience of Android, unless they make it really optimized. Even half priced Moto X can defeat it and it does! That's a shame.
Z2 on the other hand comes with some apps pre-installed, which with root can easily be removed, as they are apps, not some features like Smart pause and blah blah.
S5 focused on Fingerprint sensor and Heart rate monitor! REALLY? Are you freaking kidding me Samsung? Jeez! Couldn't you just make that so called ISOCELL camera a little be more remotely acceptable in low light? It's a flagship after all!
Anyway, it's quite clear that Z2 can defeat S5 quite easily, both software and hardware wise, but it's still kinda big and the backside of it is a letdown, it can't be gripped as easy as an S5.
Lets see...All I can say Samsung is a respectable brand, they should NOT kill their image with ultra nonsense bloated TouchWiz. Wish there was a S5 Google Play Edition.

And please don't use the multitasking button to kill apps. It's a task switcher, not app killer. The app will obviously open slower if it's not in the RAM. Use the phone properly, it'll be as fast as you want it.
Have a nice day
