Android 6.0 Marshmallow is coming to Z2 officially. - Xperia Z2 General

http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/10/06/sony-xperia-and-android-6-0-marshmallow/?rl=global-en
So it is confirmed guys. Our beloved Xperia Z2 will be updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Unfortunately, Sony dropped Z and Z1 series. What do you think guys? When it will be available?

If they leave Z1 than in future android 7 wont be relesed for our Z2 but it will be on Z3 whitch will be as you know big misunderstanding.

Yes, I think that Marshmallow will be last ever update for Z2.

I think not, because Z2 and Z3 is in the same family (shinano) so they will be updated together.

It doesn't matter, Z3 is newer phone than Z2, besides Z2's support cycle is ending in this year I think.

Right, look what motorola did with moto g 2013- it wont get android M but moto g 2014 whitch have the same spec (s400, 1gb ram) will get android M. Anyway Sony is making very good job with updates compare to other companys. If Z3 gets android 7 it will be very easy to port to our Z2. Meanwhile have fun with android M on Z2.

Xperia Z got 5.1 which the device is out dated by sonys usual policies and Z1 is also almost there so we will have to see if 6.0 is really the last one.
I have a decent doubt that 6.0 wont be the last android revision at all for z2

But Z2 and Z3 have merged sources, I thought anything that's released for Z3 can be used on Z2

This means it's the last big update for the Z2. You won't see stock Android 7.0 for the Z2.

z2 and z3 are same
i also wonder why would anybody buy z3 with paying more money
so i believe they will get updates both

Considering the roms from the Z3 are almost interchangeable with the Z2 it would be kind of dumb to develop Android 7 for the Z3 and not release it for the Z2. My guess is that they would terminate both at the same time, but then again, I could be wrong.

I think if the Z2 won't get update after 6.0, then Z3 won't get too. Like now the Z1 and Z Ultra. End of lifetime of the Z is expected. Z released in 2013 feb., 2,5 years ago, Z Ultra 2013 jul., almost 2,5 years ago and Z1 2013 sep., 2 years ago. Z2 released in 2014 mar., 1,5 years ago and Z3 2014 sep., 1 year ago. So, I think after 6.0 we (owners of Z2) will see at least one major update.

Perfect!

Great news !

Well, I used a 6.0 for couple of days on a nexus, and I think, that it does not worth it. Really. ui has just a few changes, not even close to kitkat->lollipop upgrade.
Like it usually is, battery performance went down with the upgrade on a Nexus device.
And the last - added even more Google spy blootware.
My opinion - it does not worth any attention.

Just got notification for 23.4.A.1.264.

changelog?

Via pc companion, didn't say anynthing

Cool comparison, the S3 gets wrecked in website loading
But dat italian

I've had S3 some time ago, got rid of it because of the mmc brick bug. Now I have SP... In my own day to day comparison S3 was making way better photos and there were never any issues with the android itself like in SP.

Xperia Tablet Z2 Vs tablet Z1 - performance

Hi guys,
I have the Original tablet Z and i'm very curious how it compares to the Tablet Z2 performance (general performance, browsing, flipboarding and gaming).
Could you give your comparative experience?
Thanks!

No, but on Z2 it's feel pretty smooth. Z2 has the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor witch makes it very very smooth and so.
Well it's very good and works fast.
Z2 tablet is just awesome s801 plus 3 GB of ram. I was playing asphalt 8 and streaming a drama through small app browser without any lag.

I find the Z2 much, much smoother than the original Tablet Z - I don't regret the upgrade at all.
Huge hardware upgrade which of course makes the z2 better overall. Especially with cm11 on it....huge change in performance.

So you all think the z2 tablet is worth an upgrade from tablet z?
What about battery performance Tablet Z vs Tablet Z2?

Definitely, yes.
It depends on how much woult it cost you. If you sell your tablet Z and for something like 150€ extra you manage to buy the Z2, then it may be worthy. If you have to pay more than that I think you will regret it, I skipped the Z, but I have the Xperia Z phone (same hardware), if you use the tablet for Web browsing, multimedia, apps, etc. They are not that different. Gaming is another story.

Moto e feedback

I bought 9 months used moto g LTE 1 gen last week, and unlucky now I see new moto e LTE with better battery and 64 bit hardware which is more futuristic in my opinion. Resolution and camera isn't important for me in this case.
Moto e seems to be more interesting, because i want smartphone for next 2 maybe 3 years, after that 64 bit should be more useful (app written in 64 would be not compatible with moto g) and moto e is newer so probably will be developed longer from now.
What's your opinion about moto e? Is there sth what disappointed you while you used that? Would you reccomend it? (There is too little feedbacks about it on the internet) Should I sell moto g LTE and buy moto e LTE? Costs will be almost the same.

Since the 5.1 update this phone is very snappy and responsive. I recommend it. The only issue I have (as others) is the mic is on the back which makes calls sometimes bad. The easy cure is to cup your hand at the bottom of the phone when talking, but other than that I love the size, feel, and use of it. I use it more than my Note 3.

Xperia z2 replacement

After 2 years my z2 is up for replacing.
Checked all phone reviews and this is my thinking.
Samsung s6 - not waterproof but otherwise good
Anything with snapdragon 810 - avoid
Surely more options than this. Dont really know whats arriving soon, any ideas?
One plus two. Wait for the reviews. It's a beast of a phone.

S6 terrible battery life too, and no external SD card support . Wait for the Z5

Mine is up come, December.
Waiting to see what the Z5 has to offer, ( Z3+ was so disappointing). Love Sony and wouldn't wanna change. If things are not promising, then i will surely get myself the Note 5.
If sony disappoints you can always go for N5 2015..
Waiting for Z5 with 5.7 inch QHD and Snapdragon 820 to arrive Q2 2016

I am so hoping that the Z5 comes with all these cool new upgrades. What you think about the fingerprint scanner?
But it has been released only 1.5 years ago. Not on earth for 2 years yet. And I do not think it fails to do any of the 2015's tasks.

I hope it's not a 5.7 inch display. 5.2 already too big for me. I need something I can easily fit on my pockets.

I will go for the compact if they use the same internal specs as the normal Z5.

If I were you OP I'd wait for the Z5, Z2 is still an awesome phone, more complete than any other imho. (excluding Z3,Z4)
Go for any Xperia phone with snapdragon 820 on it. So better wait than regret.

I want a new phone too. But all the phones I want are a step back in terms of build quality, water proof, battery life. Only thing every phone has on the z2 is the camera.
I love my z2 but there are couple of annoyances: the USB flap, its really annoying to move it around every time I need to plug in usb, it feels like it could break easily. could be just my phone, but the battery life doesnt seem to be that good.
Im looking at one plus phones but im not sure about them yet
Any Xperia up with SD820+4Gb Ram

I think z2 is enough, if it still work.

Upgrading Nexus 6 to newer non Amoled phone - worth?

Hi,
I'm thinking of upgrading my old and beloved Nexus 6 to something newer and faster.
I am looking at the brand new Xiaomi Poco F1 and Mi Mix 2S because I could buy them for a good price.
Unfortunately, neither of them include an Amoled display which makes me feel hesitant - I really don't know if it's a good option to go from amoled to LCD.
What are your opinions?
I love my Shamu, but I'm slowly looking for a newer and faster phone.

I'm not familiar with your market or the price point that you're trying to stay under. Between the 2 phones you listed, I would go with the mi mix 2s.
Are there any other phones available to you that you would consider? I'm in NA. I upgraded from the N6 to the OP5T after the OP6 was released to avoid paying the full price for the OP5T. That was a significant jump in performance for me. I chose OP because of the strong XDA community support. I currently own and daily drive the OP7P (which I bought after they announced the release of the OP8 series).
2.5 years later and I still don't see good replacement on the market. Sure, there are some nice phones with dual speakers and flat screens, I own 8T since around the time you posted that thread and I'm more or less happy.
Still, every now and then, I just wish I was able to have something a bit more wider (82-84mm+).
It could have a bigger battery then.
