This isn't surprising. I called it lol. *Hopefully* this poll can reflect sales for the year for Sony so they can get out of the weeds.

Nothing really. But like i said before he will find any excuse for a cheap shoot. Don't mind him, he is a joke.

If you are new here I would say "you don't know how PapaSmurf troll on Sony articles" but since you're a old reader i'll say that i'm disappointed that you didn't notice his endless trolling on Sony articles. But don't worry you're the minority here, more and more people are noticing his behavior and reacting towards his behavior.

Let's ignore all the Android fans that bash Apple on their articles. Ignorance is bliss with the fanboys.

Terribly slow with updates, same UI for three years, slow charging times for their flagships and underwhelming camera performance plague their phones for awhile now.

You never even own a Sony smart phone so this complain of yours doesn't make any sense. It's not like you're the "victim" of their terribly slow updages, same ui for three three years.................... so on. We know the real reason you troll Sony. Don't worry if S6 sell well you'll get your bonus this time.

...And great premium design, great battery life, fluent interface, and unique active noise cancellation "plague" their phones for awhile now.

Its far from what I experience holding a Z3. Why need an update when 4.4.4 is really just fine. Lollipop is buggy as of now. Whats wrong with the UI? Why bother to go iterations when its just working fine? I dont know with you but the camera on Z3 is great. Battery charging is around 1.5-2hrs, is that bad in today's standards? Besides the battery last longer than iPhone 6 plus.

Like you said Kumar123, don't mind him, he is a joke and really PapaSmurf almost all of the brands i know have the same UI for many years. the thing is these reviews make sony cameras sound really terrible, while in fact sony cameras are not terrible, they may not be on par with some others but that does not mean they are really really terrible. i have owned Xperia T for two years now and i like the camera

Sense, TW, LG's custom UI, Zen UI, and Emoticon UI have gone through two or more redesigns in the past two years so you're wrong.

I am a Sony fan since Walkman series. Presently I have T2 Ultra. I need to accept that, Their Software department really sucks. SA mode in the camera should use the full potential of the sensor. Post image processing algorithm also need a revamp. I agree with Smurf regarding the UI part. Sony didn't change much. But I like the UI. No need for any change except optimization of RAM. I am expecting a Win 10 Phone from Sony.

and about Xperia UI, i really love it for its simplicity. i have used samsung (touchwiz sucks) and i have used LG, and the only thing i don't like about LG is their UI

I'm 100% sure a lot of users created new accounts just to vote for Sony. Any ways, comment #46 explains why.

The iPhone has sub par battery life, lacks many built-in features that other handsets have, has crappy build quality, has locked down features like their NFC, and has software updates that cripple the phones. See what I did there? But it's still not a reason to troll something as hard as you do. I'm also 100% sure that a lot of users DID NOT create new accounts just to vote for Sony.

Delivers superb user experiences, contains more quality apps and has the most accessories/support. I'm 100% sure they did.

You still did not give a valid reason for trolling. I don't care about accessories. My Passport delivers superb user experiences. My Passport has more built-in features than many smartphones, eliminating the need for a plethora of apps. I'm not much of an app guy, anyway. I have my Fire HDX tablet for that, as well as my Fire Phone of the need ever arises. I'm 100% sure they didn't. We're just going to have to agree to disagree on that one.

I'm not the PA police. I could care less about reporting you. I just don't understand the need to constantly troll. I know it's a website. I'm not the one talking about reporting anyone, so you chill.
