Samsung Galaxy S5 vs Sony Z3 Compact vs...

What phone should I buy? I'm thinking about S5 and Z3 compact. I need good camera, performance and I would like to have waterproof feature too. I have 460 €. So what phone should I buy?

Both are water/dust-proof, but - and this is just a personal thing - I'd be much more comfortable plunging a Sony device into water than a Samsung one... but if it's just splashes or rain you're worried about, both will be fine.

The Z3 is more premium feeling & looking, and both have good cameras. The S5 battery is removable, but the Sony battery lasts and lasts. The Z3c has a smaller screen though (€460 may well get you the standard Z3 online now, or very soon, as the Z3+/Z4 is out...?). Sony's skin is fairly light, whereas Touchwiz on the S5 isn't great, and kind of smothers the whole system.

Personally, the Z3c.

Welcome to the forums. I would say the Z3. I have heard overall lots of good things about that device.
