I came from the 2013 Moto X and the Droid Maxx which is similar spec wise minus the huge battery. I've always been partial to Motorola, my first smart phone was the original Droid slider phone (still have it, still use it as an Mp3 player LOL) ... I was up for an upgrade and considered the Droid Turbo but as I used one in the Verizon store I could feel the ballistic back getting really warm to the touch, plus it wasn't all that impressive compared to the Droid Maxx, it was only marginally quicker and the camera was a little better, I noticed the Sony and started playing with it and loved it immediately. Ended up buying the Sony and haven't looked back. I retired my Maxx and sold the Moto X (it was the Developer Ed). Battery life on the Z3v is great, my day starts at 7:30am and ends at about 10pm and I'm averaging 70% battery usage during that time. The display is vibrant and clear, not as good as the Droid Turbo I think but barely noticeable. Its very fast, and I love being able to have a 64GB SD card inside for all my music and movies. My only real complaints are no support from Sony or Verizon as of yet, both companies refer you to the other when it comes to support problems tho Sony is a bit more helpful. The other complaint is sometimes using the built in camera app, I get a "camera is in use in another app" warning and haven't figured out what is causing it.
