Xperia Z2 worth buying?

Hey guys, Im a proud owner of Sony Xperia Z(c6603) and I've been using my Xperia Z for more than two years now. I use my phone for Multimedia usage such as listening to music , watching videos and gaming (MKX and Asphalt) on daily basis with Wifi connected most of the time. My Xperia Z is still running good with an average battery life and the performance is good. I've accidentally dropped my phone lot of times ,more than i could remember and yet there is no shattered screen or broken glass. Some of the problems i face are: 1.Camera: Lack of camera shutter, Autofocus lag and poor low light performance. 2.Speaker: avg performance and 3.Lags under heavy usage (Lags while Shifting between apps). So I'm planing on upgrading to Xperia Z2 and id like to know whether Xperia Z2 would be satisfactory or should i go for Z3 or Z3+ ?

I have had the z2 for 18months the camera is miles away from the mega pixels advertised it pretty poor aspecialy in low light. Also you will need good earing to listen to music without ear phones or in deed to hear phone calls or messages. I wouldn't dream of getting it near water ether. Other than that it's OK.

If you have the option to buy the Z5 go with the Z5, if you can only buy the Z3 go for it instead of the Z2, or wait for the Z5 Premium to be available, the first phone with a 4K screen.

Do some research about actual components built in both phones then compare...

My budget is INR 20,000-30,000 so i thought of opting for xperia Z2. My friends suggested me to go for LG g3 or HTC M8 but I'm a really satisfied with my current sony handset so i want to go for sony xperia z2.

I use my phone to play games (MKX and Asphalt) and to capture and view pics and browse and all the regular stuff with Wifi ON throughout the day. So if i upgrade to Z2, will i face any lags or over heating issues? (not heating but over heating? All phones tend to get hot while heavy usage) and most of the sonu handsets take average low light images regardless of what they say during advertising(xcpt Z5) and cant take near water?  Why? I've dropped my xperia Z on the ground several times and in swimming pools but there is no issue till date.what is the problem that you face with z2?

I do products comparison on a regular basis whenever a new phone arrives but the fact is irrespective of the specs mentioned on the website the performance of the phone differs from person to person. So as a guy who has been using a sony product for half a decade (Sony Ericsson xperia neoV prev and xperia Z currently) i know how sonys performance differs from the mentioned specs. So i just want to know weather upgrade to z2 or z3 will improve the cons which i mentioned in my first comment putforth in the forom.
