Sony Xperia Z2 vs Z1C (Z1 Compact)—which one is your bet?

[Ryan Tan Yu]

---

I've had the Z2 for 6 months now, pero iisa lang ang reklamo ko: I can't hold it firmly, and operate it fully at the same time! Now I see may Z1C pala, almost perfect for me pero there might be something else I'm missing.

Here are the distinct differences between the specs of the two (not including the size and weight differences):

• 720 x 1280 pixels on the Z1C, while 1080 x 1920 pixels on the Z2
• 1920x1080 (1080p HD) on the Z1C, while 3840x2160 (4K) on the Z2
• Digital image stabilization, Continuous autofocus, High Dynamic Range mode (HDR), Video light—Z1C
• High Dynamic Range mode (HDR)—Z2
• 2300 mAh on the Z1C, 3200 mAh on the Z2

Personally, which one would you prefer? The Z1C is 26k, Z2 is 32k.

z3 compact is like 22k sa kimstore . much better than z1 compact. i've had z1C before, pero gamyan rako. im using s5 now. hehe

i like the z2 over the z1c but the z3 is the best because it is the improved z2 version.

i have to agree with the downside of Z2, TS.

lisud kaau guniton ang Z2 labi na pag isa lang ang hand. bisan gani mag selfie ko medyo maglisud ko gunit. Another downside I observed on Z2 is medyo dali mo init labi na mag games ka og kanang gamit ka mga bug-at nga apps.

but overall, prefer jud ko sa Z2 over Z1 compact. so fast, no lag so far. kung regular use lang, mo-abot og 5 days akong battery. if heavy user, it will reach 2 days imo battery.

4-5 hours? Lisod hutdon ang batt sa Z2 within that time oi. Gigamit nako' ang Z2 from 6AM to 2AM (almost non-stop na picture/video taking, plus call/text) mao nay gikamatyan sa battery. Gi-unsa kaha' nang 4-5 hours?

Ang Z1 Compact kay in terms of performance, I don't notice a difference from Z2. Mas gwapo lang ug color ang Auto mode sa camera sa Z2, and Timeshift video kay wala' sa Z1C. Pero sa battery gamay ra man difference, besides mag-charge man ko sa balay/sakyanan/trabaho.

I actually posted this thread to solicit advice on whether to sell my Z2 or not, para mupalit ug Z1C. Pero too late naka-decide na ko lol mao ni ako gamit karon.

Murag di' kaayo ko kabantay sa heating issue kay naka-case man pirmi. Pero in terms of performance, kumbati kaayo ang Z1C wala' pud ko ka-experience ug lag. Pareha gyud tag problema sa Z2 hehe

boss, isa pod na sa downside sa Z2. tang-tanga ang casing while playing games. dali kaau mo init. if you read reviews, daghan jud mosulti dali mo init ang Z2.

wala ko nag case but i-Shield ang akong Z2.
