Sony Xperia Z2 - user opinions and reviews

I just updated mine today to 5.0.2. I didn't get it on the air; instead, I got it updated via Sony PC Companion which you can get by plugging your device via USB and you can install from there.
The update took me 10 minutes vs 20 minutes estimate on the PC Companion. It also consumed 10% of my battery and left my phone the hottest at 48C. The first time you boot it takes longer than usual as stated in the installation.
The changes I hace noticed is the new lockscreen which now supports full display of them as you would find on the iOS. Three new clock widgets, a shortcut for calls and the camera. The apps and customizations done on the homescreen will be retained. Gone is the dual black pane, it got replaced by the stock Android. The color follows your theme, and the color of some apps you open, just like in the Walkman. A bit of Sony is left on the pane, you can change the quick settings. There is no sign of the auto brightness. The settings design has been changed though the same settings remain, except of course some new settings from lollipop. The icons remain to be big as seen from 4.4.4. The close all option is nowhere to bw nowhere to be found and you have to close apps one by one either by an x button or the usual swipe. The on screen buttons have also changed to much simpler ones. Icons for the camera have changed though I have to test what has changed in the camera department. I think the messaging and calls apps have adapted the stock Android. When you first use it, the battery may seem to be draining fast, but it actually isn't. A calibration or a few charges should fix this.
Other than that, there's nothing new. Or have I missed something else?
Testing will continue. If you have questions, you can ask me here and I'll try my best to answer them.

Yesterday I did update to 5.0.2, the update itself is good, no major problems, considering the fact that around the world people experience different problems. Anyway, my major problem that I noticed from now that speaker volume is low, like really low. The volume on 4.4.4 in comparison with this is louder in times. Have anyone experienced this issue? Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks!
