Unacceptable design, plastic and only plastic.what the hell.better you all buy Sony Xperia Smartphone with their Good looks and premium build quality with aluminium frame.Samsung has their worst design phones from low to highend phones,what point of using all same looking phones.people behind you may thinks that u r using galaxy grand insted u r using some high end galaxy phone.SO MY ADVICE TO ALL PEOPLE. Of this world that go for good and premium. Looking. Smartphones not with just features. Loaded shut phone like this so.

You can't even point out those 2 out of the 10 things a removable battery is advantage... moreI accept number 8 and 9 from your previous post,,and the other explanations you gave related to them,,but higher capacity,staying longer, and carry power banks and others are only your self created reasons for removable battery,,and if you think thats why people buy Samsung youre wrong,90% Cannot even provide a reason for it,,Samsung took advantages of other companies weak days and thanks to paid webs it become such a giant,

AnonD-237389, 03 Mar 2014You wanna know why z2 is better,I will tell you
1_much better design
2_much better build qua... moreDesign and UI are subjective, but the Z2's camera will most likely be worse than the S5's, if the Z1 is anything to go by, the battery life will probably be bad, like in the Z1 (6 hours battery life when browsing the web is pathetic), and, quite frankly, LCDs are rubbish compared to the far more versatile AMOLEDs. And the S5 is a very good phone in itself, so...

I like Sony phone, but i don't like its battery life. Now i hope the Xperia Z2 will have the longer battery life than any other smart phones. :) :)

Expect this to be priced around 65K - 70K In India. That too without the Gear. Add another 18K - 20K for the gear.

AnonD-237389, 03 Mar 2014Sure removable battery has its own advantages,,but the ten reason of yours except 2 of them Ar... moreOh wow. You can't even point out those 2 out of the 10 things a removable battery is advantageous over a fixed non-removable one.
But there's are injustices of what a built-in battery system for SMARTPHONES holds.
1. Weaker and tinier battery.
With the more power demanding hardware, and new OS features, you'd think they would increase the batteries. Instead, they have resorted to "it got 20% thinner" and "it's waterproof" but in reality it's just water-resistant of about 1m depth and anything beyond that, water seeps in. Is a shorter usage time what you want with a 2mm thinner device? Switching off features like LTE just to get by the day?
2. Exorbitant prices for replacing built-in.
It would happen long after your warranty expires. Warranty for my region is only 6 months to a year. Battery degradation happens after more than a year. It'd cost you more than twice the amount at the service center. For big OEM batteries like the Note series, it's only around $25.
3. DAYS or even over a week to have them replaced.
Fixed batteries aren't always stocked, and hence the ordering time needed to get them. You can imagine too the millions the manufacturer has sold and you'd be not the only one in waiting. In the meantime, what do you think you'll be using as a smartphone? How much time you'd think going to the center and coming back again to get your device back?
4. Making us carry power banks, power jackets or plug in more, away from home.
I thought the whole point of mobile devices is being wireless. What use is that thinner design form factor when you end up carrying extra stuff thicker than your device itself? Power jackets just can't give you an equivalent 100% charge, heats up everytime and becomes dead weight.
5. Limiting capabilities & features and LTE signals.
Steve Jobs NEVER officially signed off with LTE for the iPhone. Verizon's CEO said so, only after Jobs passed away. We got iPhone5 users complaining about LTE signals not and switching to the 3G signal often. Apple never intended its users to download torrents, unless you do some hack configuring with the settings. They just don't want you draining that tiny 1500mAh battery they put in.
Sony is following the iPhone path with its premium line up where their batteries are fixed and not optimized.

Atleast it doesn't look like a bandaid. Xperia is built with proper care and premium materials. Not like Samsung mass production like a chinese shoe factory. You can identify an Xperia from another Xperia, all designs have unique features. Not like Samsung same old gloss plastic from low end phones to flagship phones. Yuck

It can stream radio on the internet seamlessly without using any messy headset wires.
Or buy a basic phone with FM radio, you don't need a 4G LTE phone.

POS phone. This coming from someone who has owned every single Samsung Galaxy flagship phone. I was waiting for a better built phone with more innovative features. Extremely disappointed Samsung. I'm buying the Sony Xperia Z2 this year.

AnonD-237389, 03 Mar 2014It's all about ip58 and ip67,
Z2 has ip58,which mean it can withstand water immersion Below o... moreUnlimited time? Under water? Geez.
Then the Z2 would have a "9" on the 2nd number for Ingress Protection. My wife is an engineer who deals with this sort of equipment acquisitions for engineering projects. An IP69 would be special equipment which stays under water for long indefinite periods of time. Unfortunately, the Xperia Z line up has flaps and have glued seals which will peel off after some time, as we have seen what happened to the first XZ.
Sony claims to have only a certain number of meters submerged under fresh water conditions. I believe it can't go beyond 2m, and only for 30 minutes maximum. Going beyond those will have water seeping in the water filament sheet protecting the audio speaker and the protective flaps for the insertion point start to give up because of the water pressure and time.

AnonD-188202, 03 Mar 2014sir xperia z2 water proof , water resitant
and s5-water proof , water resitant
plz tellIt's all about ip58 and ip67,
Z2 has ip58,which mean it can withstand water immersion Below one meter for AN UNLIMITED TIME,so this mean waterproof
But s5 has ip67 which mean it can withstand water immersion for only 30 minutes,which mean it can resist ONLY 30 minutes,so s5 is water resistant phone,
but s5 is stronger against dust
