I want a Z5. Why won't Sony let me buy a Z5?

They can get an iPhone 5 for free now why get a windows phone?
god damn
Too bad the rumour is that they won't be cheap at all
The camera is being lauded by multiple parties already and has near-top scores on a respected photography site, and you still can't acknowledge it? Lol.
Give it a month.
After the N6, your opinion on mobile photography is worth about nill.
Thanks. Great scores. I'm a bit surprised by their comments about wondering what the scores would be like with a 16mp default - they could have done a quick test with the Max 23mp
Do Sony disable some of the settings if you adjust the size though? On the z3 if you want to use the native resolution of the sensor you are limited
I'm thinking of returning the Moto G and just getting a Moto X style. It would have to be the 16 gb version because I'm poor.
However I'm still undecided. Would love the OPT but the invite system... ugh.
I care a lot about battery more than anything and the QHD display of the Moto X style is somewhat off putting for this reason.
I'm constantly using Instagram, Facebook Chat, Skype and the browser for gaf and other things. So far the Moto G handles all of this but it's slow, it can be felt easily...

Are you surprised. We are a year past the launch of the OG 6 and it still gets shit on for taking garbage pics (it doesn't - software is wacky though).
Some narratives are hard to break when they've been true for so damn long
Edit: It'll be interesting to see what we can pull off with this successor when using a competent camera app that supports camera2api
The N6 is known for taking well above average pictures (also reflected by the scores on DxOMark). This is a fact.
But go ahead, let's see what hole you dig yourself into this time.
It is a sad state of affairs. Thanks Obama.
Is there any big difference besides the S-Pen/Curved screen in the Note 5 and S6 Edge+? I'm picking one of them up for my dad. He doesn't do much on his phone and struggles to type so I'm guessing the Note would be a better buy? He still carries around a Moleskine so I'm guessing this would be a decent upgrade. He's using an iPhone 4 LOL.

I'm following up on this thread.
They did, in fact, go back and answer that question.
why do you even bother? arguing with him is like bashing your head into a wall. it'll lead you nowhere and leave you with a headache.

If you are in Dallas I'll meet up and sell you my OP2 for cost $390. I only used it for a few hours before going back to my OPO.
I need it! But it's fucking 650 here in Europe T__T
Buy it from the UK. It's really not that hard.
I don't listen to juniors! Jk you're right.

Jesus Christ, possibly using this S6 display? I tried out the S6 again today and the display is too good.
Also I made an app.
Everybody behold the greatest app of all time. It will change your life, cure your ailments, and save the world.

Sorry to the people not in 'murica. You can download, but it only shows U.S. markets for now.

Are you taking C++?
Lol if they finally managed to deliver a color accurate display... Wow, Google. Such improvements!
I think that they are already doing a public test of 6.0 for Xperia devices. I think they'll speed up the update process now that their version of Android is even closer to stock.
I told ya guys. This is the smartphone to buy this year.
It may take good pictures, if you manage to get it to focus properly.
I have a 6P pre-ordered, but if they release the Z5 soon in the US it's mine. The problem is that last part.
you're just as bad as google
nice app though! i'll be starting android development soon myself.
Wow. Huawei hit it out of the park with the 6P with the battery, serviceable camera and a great display. If it had the fingerprint up front and a non 810, it would be damn near perfect. And stock Android with only a $499 price tag. They won 2015. Now let's talk about what we want in 2016.
The 6P is better than what I was expecting. If they really got last gen AMOLEDs from Samsung and also calibrated them correctly, then it's definitely a good buy for you guys in the US.
I don't think the 810 is a problem anymore. They should have probably already dealt with the heat issues and it should be the fastest chip out there.

I've been a Sony Xperia supporter since I got into this community. Hopefully they knock it out of the park this year(and into the U.S).
Hasn't been since the OPT. They were the first to tame the beast in a phone body.
I don't live in Dallas but would you be willing to ship within the US?
I live in the east coast. I could PayPal you.
Not for the moment. You can scroll it though. The API for their database super sucks and doesn't expose that data, so I'm just loading an html page with the details for now.
To fix it I'll have to back their data with my own API, so that's in the works.
No. But I do use C++ occasionally.

I'd ship for an extra $10. It would have to be PayPal gift though. You can check my seller ratings in the bst thread. Just pm me.

The Nexus 4 and 5 had wireless charging, because the Micro USB port was such a hassle to use and now that both phones have Type C and quick charging, wireless charging isn't needed anymore.
Right.
Right.

IN MY DEFENSE the game changer for me was when my work gave me a a prepaid visa with $100 on it. That's the only reason.

There are many better phones you could've gotten for that price or less though.

I might not keep it. And I could cancel it. I do have an x play coming to me for way cheaper lol.
