Try here: http://www.gsmarena.com/

Should be able to find almost any phone and many reviews :)

I myself have owned Sony for... close to a decade, lol. Never had an issue. I own the Xperia Arc atm, been a few years, still works fine.
But I will say, I dont use it alot. Cellphones aren't good for you!!!

Hmm, whats the difference, getting opinions from ppl typing on d2jsp and ppl typing on gsmarena?
Same thing Imo. even less here to be honest.
Most of the reviews on that site are quite sound, much less trolls :p

i did my own review for you took a whole 5 mins on google lol. the s6 overall is a superior phone, outclasses the xperia 4 in all categories except battery life, s6 has 64 gig built in memory as oppose to 32 gig on sony.most of the other differences were minor. now consider what you will be using phone for when purchasing. i normally just talk/text/surf the web/listen to music etc. i dont do any app gaming therefore any phone would work for me. im not sure on price of sony phone but im sure much cheaper than the s6 so i would go with that one myself. be original aswell so many people have iphones and samsungs.

Well battery life is key for me. And the S6 has less battery life than my S5, which doesn't even make it through the day without a charge. It seems the Sony could do that for me. I'm just a bit skeptical because I've never owned a Sony phone.

in order for better responses we need to know what your gonna be doing with this phone. you gonna be doing heavy duty shit or just basic stuff? like i said any phone would really work for most people.

I'm a heavy user. YouTube, games, MUST have a great camera. Waterproof is a plus for sure. Needs to be quick. My GS5 really isn't fast enough for my tastes. MUST have a great battery (not carrying around a charger). I also run a couple of private database apps for work that can eat up RAM pretty quick.

Had the z1s when it was released
Was awesome
Waterproof(tested it by dropping it in a 3 ft hot tub)
I thought it was funny that the s6 is barely now waterproof when I had the z1s like 6 years ago and they're advertising it like its a breakthrough now

Extremely sturdy and durable
I carry my phone without cases
Dropped it more than 50 times and still perfect condition

The display was extremely bright and clear
The volume was moderate

Fast but some hiccups here and there
Not often to where it bothered me

Battery was GREAT w/ some adjustments in developer mode

One thing I learned having that phone for 4 years was that I really really hate carrying a big phone of that size


It's heavy and when I multitask(doing things while holding phone) it can be extremely bothersome
Very annoying to pull out a phone of that size while sitting down, driving, or doing anything really
I didn't get a belt clip cause personal preference

I have an iPhone 6 now and it's almost the perfect size
Perfect in length but maybe .25 inch less wide for my thumb to reach all the way across would be perfect

I'm at a point where specs don't matter to me anymore
I can't tell the difference between a dual core or octacore phone

I have a dslr w/ me majority of the time so I don't need a good camera on it
Also have a gopro w/ me majority of the time as well

Now what I look for in a phone is ability for

Text
Calls
Emails
Ease of Use
Surf Web
Watch Videos (Netflix, youtube, crunchyroll, ETC)
Video calls/conferences
Portable size(ease of multitasking w/ phone in hand, ease of pulling out of pockets, etc)

Waterproof is of course a HUGE bonus

That's just me though

I dont care about the actual specs such as processor and stuff
