Killian has already given you five reasons why you should choose the One M8 over the Galaxy S5, and vice versa. But while these devices were capturing all the media attention, I went ahead and got myself Sony’s latest flagship — the Xperia Z2.

I personally feel that the Xperia Z2 offers the right balance between the One M8’s design and Galaxy S5’s features — which makes it a better buy than both of them. In this piece, I’ll give you five reasons why you should spend your hard-earned cash on Sony’s latest flagship over any of its rivals.

The Xperia Z2 camera is by no means inadequate but that does not mean it cannot be improved further. An XDA developer — Rizal Lovins — has released a Cybershot camera mod for the Z2 which further boosts the imaging capabilities of Sony’s latest flagship.

An official Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) custom recovery is now available for Sony’s new Xperia Z2, giving owners the opportunity to flash third-party ROMs and tweaks — such as CyanogenMod — and make complete backups of their device.

Sony’s latest flagship — the Xperia Z2 — has just started hitting the retail stores in some of the major markets across the globe but that has not stopped the company from teasing its “next big thing”.

The company today took to Twitter and its blog to post the side profile of an ultra-slim handset, that is probably the successor to the Xperia Z Ultra released last year. 

Last night, LG unveiled its flagship handset for 2014 — the LG G3. When it finally hits the shelves later next month, the G3 is bound to battle it out against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 and the Xperia Z2 for the best smartphone of the year crown.

Compared to its competition, the G3 does have some unique and innovative features up it sleeves that makes it the number one contender for the best smartphone of this year including a sexy design, the relative lack of bezel around its display and wireless charging.
