Sony Xperia ZL - user opinions and reviews

A lot of people here asks whether to buy Xperia ZL or not. So here it goes:
Xperia ZL is an awesome phone to begin with. Inn using it for a month abs a half now, facing no problems at all, no hanging, no lagging, simply superb. The power it has in it's heat is as good as Xperia Z. The only difference is that it is more compact and got IR blaster (though mine didn't work and I can't change it cause mine doesn't have any warranty). After using this phone for such a long time, I cometoo the conclusion is that this is one good phone if you don't keep it's screen on for long. The screen is a bummer as it takes out all the energy of the battery. Yet, looking at the 5 inch screen helps me forget it's fault. In my opinion, the Barry should have been more powerful (I needtoo charge it twice a day due to my heavy usage). The sound quality well make most of the other phone users to shame (checked with galaxy S3 and S4), the phone warms up a bit (that's normal, think about your laptop when you play games), but doesn't get too hot. I don't know about extreme conditions, as I live in Bangladesh, where we have perfect climate. Touch response is superb, reception, Call quality and others are very good, no problem there at all. The camera is good when you take the picture in daylight. But in night, well, I wouldn't suggest that. I'm using an N8 and that shoots far better pictures in night time. The games run perfect, no problems there at all.
About other phones, that is your personal choice. But one thing I can say, don't mix Xperia ZL with the followings: Xperia Z1, Galaxy Note series, Galaxy S4 they are in different league. For those who didn't understand, don't mix ZL with tablets, phablets, or octa cores. No doubt Galaxy S4 is better as it has eight cores. But it will heat up easily as eight cores generate more heat and there is less space to release the heat (again, think about core i7 processors). I personally like nexus phones, but they have the drawback of expansion of memory and unavailability in our country. And finally, a phone is about the user's choice and personality. It defines who you are, expresses that to others. So it's up to you which one to buy. Pls don't ask stupid question "which one should I buy?" hell, I bought this phone, which might not be of any attraction to you! Do done homework before buying a phone, search the net. If you can post a question here, you can have time to do some research on it. Find your criteria, jot them down, the go to advance search in GSMARENA and see which are the phones which mashes your criteria. Then read all the reviews gsmarena uploaded, do some Google (or Yahoo, or Bing for that matter) or go to YouTube and see what they say. See if you can search and find any problems if the phone. Surely, if you do some homework, you'll see that you'll get a phone or two that suites you. But STOP ASKING STUPID, DUMB QUESTIONS, please. It's gonna be your phone, not mine - you're gonna enjoy keeping it in your hand, not me. So you should be the one to choose which one should YOU buy. You don't come and ask me which puppy to buy our which restaurant to go, do you? All we can do is to show you the road map, you'll have to walk yourself.
One more thing, don't ask "Which phone is better?" That's another stupid question. You see, I bought Xperia ZL for a reason and that is because I'm biased too it, I loved it. I'll tell you this is the best phone for sure. But it might not give to the same pleasure that it gives me. If it would, there wouldn't be so many brands. So, again, do done research, some homework, ink sure you'll find your beloved phone in no time.
Sorry for the tough words, but those who are stupid, they needed it (and will also find time to argue with me, but not to search for a phone for themselves). Take care all, ciao.

Xperia SP, ZL, C or the LG Nexus 4? and Why?

SP is priced at around 12-16k
ZL = 14-18k
C = 10-14k
N4 = 12-14k

Personally Own ZL,
I Liked everything about this phone, its been 7 months, bought it on release, Its better than Z in two ways thats compactness and its IR function, However i have had problem in IR Reading function being not working.
Camera is pretty good with manual settings, better than S4 in many ways, however fails to take macros not good as S4.Personally tested.
Update to 4.4 is confirmed by sony
If you are confused about ZL and Z, I would suggest ZL wich costs less than Z around 5K. however you wont get most of the premium services that Z gets like many Paid games, movies, other offers.
Premium feel and service go for Z. Water proof is rather gimmick as many people complained that because of heating issues back cover of Z gets loosened up and loses its water resistant ability.
Doesnt Lag in anything,
However problems that are reported a lot are mic,ear Piece, CAmera Black Spots, dead Pixels(Both in Z & ZL), Only In ZL-IR Blaster reading function,Only in Z- Cracking of Glass in Z, Recent reports says that sony is replacing such devices,
Mine under repair for Mic and IR blaster (some Say that there is no fix for IR blaster problem) Might get a proper replacement.
