Sony Xperia Z3 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 4

[Tsepz_GP]

why not the LG G4? been on mine for over a week now, and its by far the best experience I have had with a phone.

normally any phone you use has a little thing that you learn to live with, be it the size of the note, the non removable battery in the Z3 the camera in an HTC.

the buttons on the back was the thing I though would annoy me about the G4. after a day whit it I wonder why no one else has done this. don't take this as me being fanboy, the way your hand sits those buttons are always in reach and it actually just makes sense.
also, real leather back not plastic made to feel like leather in the Note4.

at least consider the G4 before you get anything. hold it, use it then decide

I can't say much WRT LG G4 as I have not used it, but it will be interesting to see how the leather lasts vs. the Note 4's faux leather that is extremely flexible and doesn't seem to damage easily.

I have read that the Snapdragon 808 in it is also heating up a lot and the GPU is less powerful than the GPU in the Note 4 and Nexus 6.

From the Camera samples I have seen, the G4 seems to be on the way to being the best Android Camera Phone at the moment.

Thank you for all the input, kind sirs. The debate has been interesting. Unfortunately I am less sure now than I was earlier.

To Baxteen, I played with the G4 a little yesterday, but did not feel comfortable with it. Maybe it was the placid goon trying to flog it onto me. I was more impressed with the Hauwei P7 and Microsoft Lumia 640 XL than the G4. I am truly happy for you and wish you many, many hours of unadulterated joy with it.

If I was to go with the Z3 (as a smartphone) and not the Note 4 (as a phablet [Mayweed has learned a lesson here]), is there a back up presence to repair a Sony handset if I were to buy it from someone other than one of the operators?

Last I owned a Sony, a PR company ('Craving Novety' I think it was called) helped repair my phone. It had to be taken to Boksburg and was there for around 3 weeks. They seem to be the ones Sony use. This was in 2010 though with the SE Xperia X10.

Note 4 all the way, virtually the same size as the Z3 but way more screen, it's an amazing phone. Lg G4 also awesome phone and relatively cheap.

I'm a Sony user, i would say Sony Z3 although I heard the Z4 will be releasing. Not sure though
