i think the z1 name is really unplanned. they just needed to use that name to bring out a less than perfect version of the z2 to the market.

if you notice other flagship names, they never have a "1" name. in the case of samsung, it's s then s2, s3, etc. there's no s1. same thing with lg, htc, and the iphone.

maybe they wanted to introduce z2 back then but they still couldn't perfect the technology. that's why they just used the z1 name.

The people who are likely to get the S5, Z2 and other 1st half year flagships are people who are ready to upgrade their contract or just want what is currently the best smartphone you can get. I can't imagine many Z1 or S4 customers upgrading as there would be no point I personally normally get every Sony flagship on release in the UK but I will skip the Z2 and see what Sony bring to the table at IFA the Z2 as good as a phone it is it just feels like a stop gap until we get the next big flagship later in the year and I think the same for the S5.

All three phones have microSD slots AND KitKat... Not a combination that makes for happy users (link).

I won't be updating my Asus NPFI to KitKat when it comes out in Q2 unless this 'problem' has been solved.

So now the HTC One M8 is official the main talking point is the Duo Camera which alllows for greater depth perception to create bokeh effect. The main camera is the same as the HTC One a 4MP 1/3" sensor and but they have removed OIS and there is no 4K video recording (bot the the Z2 and GS5 have it) which is looking like it will be a main feature amongst flagship devices in 2014.

Uugh, all 3 make me want to
2014 has been rather boring (smartphone wise), the Z2, S5 and One 2014 are like facelifts of their predecessors, I hope the 2nd Half of this year is more exciting, as right now, I feel like I could go cold turkey on smartphones.

I completely agree with you and I think the most disappointing release so far is the HTC One M8. They have had a whole year to learn from the mistakes they made and the only thing the corrected was adding a micro SD card slot. All the camera tech isn't that impressive and your standard shots won't look any better than last years model. It might do well for people who love HTC but I can see them struggling again this year with their latest flagship.

I don't understand why HTC didn't go for a larger sensor, guess it would have made he bezels or the size of the phone larger. Is the resolution really 4MP? or is this just the final resolution after pixel binding if it is occurring?

I wonder who still makes a 1/3" 4MP sensor? Sure it has bigger pixel size but having a low resolution, 4MP is not enough, 8MP is minimum I feel, especially for 4k and printing out photos.
