But, this is not a phablet thread. &, people, such as yourself and Baldrick, who have no class and like the tackier things in life, need to keep your Samsung crap well away!!!

Phablet shmablet it does the job with acuity. Samsung got the idea right realizing people dont want tiny gay iphones anymore.

Sony has a lot of catching up to do to make up for the past 10 years of crappy tv's and piss poor phones.
Samsung is the techno king now and Sony just plain sucks dog biscuits.
If I was to change brands it would be for a Lenovo not Sony.

That's because you like cheap plastic crap...

The Sony Z2 is the top phone. The Sony Z1 compact is the top smaller form phone. I agree that the Note3 is the best phablet.

Samsung has a lot, LOT, of very poor phones. The new s5 is very average for a massive price...

Nice phablet. Too big for my liking.

This isn't a laptop thread, 'Arry... Sony Vio's are expensive for the spec you get.

I got a cheap HP, as you know, Win8 with touchscreen, 14" - don't like it much, won't be making the same mistake again... It's light enough and easy enough to carry, I suppose.

Edit to add: the Samsung Galaxy S5 continues to get bad to average reviews while the xperia Compact continues to get best reviews for the smaller phone size, and the xperia Z2 continues to be reviewed as superior to the S5...

The new HTC should be nice. Samsung S5 not in the top 5 of current phones, when did that last happen to a Samsung Galaxy flagship phone??? Coming on the the heels of the average S4, which also didn't make it to the top of the tree..., it looks like Samsung will be needing to massively up their game for the S6, and the S5 hasn't even hit the shops yet - sad days for Samsung... No wonder 'Arry didn't buy an S4 or, once the review came out, wait a few weeks for an S5...

Sorry Boo all I heard was blah blah Sony Sony Sony fap fap fap.

**Bettyboo** · 07-03-2014, 09:35 PM

Indeed. But I noticed that your S3 never turned into an S4 or S5...

Good choice to move away from those crap Galaxy S series.

Can't you read Boo?

I posted just today that I've just picked up a Note 3 LTE.

This will be my personal phone, and I'll keep the S4 for work.

When God dished out Brains, did you think he said Trains and ask for a small, slow one?

**Little Chuchok** · 07-03-2014, 10:26 PM

Harold, it would be great if you could review a phone with out your complete bias to Samsung.

The sony has many great reviews, and as you know, how good a phone is has NO correlation to how it sells.Just look at the iphone FFS.It's all marketing.

Can you look at this and give a completely unbiased take?

be careful now, as I know everything technical

**Bettyboo** · 07-03-2014, 10:27 PM

^ ^ All I heard there was blah blah blah Samsung Samsung Samsung flap flap flap...

^ That's the point, LC; the new Sonys are very good, and have great reviews. My Sony has been excellent. Many people I know have ditched their Samsungs and moved across to Sony Xperias.

The reasons I prefer my xperia X over the Samsung S4 it competes against are: build quality (my phone is still like new even though I've treated it roughly), waterproofing (you can take some amazing underwater pics and videos - very clear), the screen, the camera (both stills and video) and the UI (I hate the childlike nature of Samsung's Touchwiz). Also price - being cheaper than the Samsungs.

The just out xperia Z1 compact and Z2 are even better. When I change my xperia Z, I'll probably get an xperia z1 compact because it has a better size for me, and a better camera and screen. I find the camera to be really important, and I take lots of videos (where the Sony shines due to the Bravia technology).

Exactly.

yes - but without a flash it is an epic fail

**Bettyboo** · 08-03-2014, 05:08 PM

There is a flash, and the z1 and z2 have far better flash mechanisms than my z.

I've done many many pics and vids, some shown on this board, all with the simple ease of point and click - the pics aren't bad...

so they aren't good either ?

**Bettyboo** · 08-03-2014, 06:10 PM

They are very good for a camera phone... The Z2 and Z1 compact are as close as you can currently get to a real camera (with regard to quality of pictures), but there are half a dozen phones that do very good pics nowadays.

I'm just looking at some short vids I shot on the beach in Sri Lanka and at a Tibetan temple in Nepal, they are amazing...

Can someone give me his/her opinion on the:

Samsung Galaxy Ace3.

I am not "into" phones and want an affordable (read: cheaper) phone that will allow me to check email for mostly work purposes.

I'd appreciate any advice info. Of course, I've read the specs and reviews but want to hear from a person. I don't know anyone that has this phone.

**Bogon** · 13-03-2014, 11:52 PM

Blackbery Z10 or Z30 is the way to go barbaro.

For emails and work stuff you can't go wrong.

A Z10 will set you back around 8,000 Baht (they were going for 24,000 baht just under a year ago.

You can listen to the nayslayers, but I bet none have had a blackberry for the past few years.

They have come on leaps and bounds.

This is coming from a bloke in the last 3 years hs has a HTC Android, Nokia Window 8 and Blackberry 10 with the missus holding an Iphone 4s now. I have used all the platforms and rate Blackberry the best at the present time. Don't panic about the lack off apps because you can download Android apps directly on them now without any of that sideloading crap.

The BBZ10 is good for the money, if you can get one for 8,000 baht. I looked at it when I got my xperia Z, and I liked the Z10, but not as much. They were the same money then; now the xperia z is 15,000, so 8,000 for the z10 is good.
