I have this phone

Few points for people

Battery is shockingly bad need charge it twice a day.

Plenty of lags while browsing

Would not recommend to anybody even at that price I'm hoping for a good deal on a new phone tonight to get rid.

Dont be fooled into buying this because its cheap, its cheap for a reason and its not because of black friday, the battery on this phone makes the S6 battery look good, not to mention if you read the link posted by another member on page one there is 45 pages of almost negative reviews about it, you'd be better of saving the £100 and putting towards something else.

1080p, 2GB RAM, Oct-core processor, 16GB storage, 5.5" screen.

How does it coneparr to p8 lite and wileyfox swift?

I'd probably buy this if it wasn't so huge.

Edit: Might buy it anyway, has better specs than my tablet!

Heat given. In a quandary. Was looking at the Z range but this is super cheap. Moving on from a Galaxy S4 - anyone know if this is going to compare favourably and last me two years?

Surely price error

wow....this has got hot very quickly....Why ??

That's actually ridiculously cheap for this phone, would definitely recommend for the price

heat look great

ordered it,

seem great spec and price is peanuts for the phone + john levvis guarantee

Ordered. Looks great for the price

Would this be a good upgrade from a s3? Great deal op!

Just bought one. Bargain!

Ordered - Thanks OP!

Great deal. Heat added

Reviews not that good.

GOOD GOD - HOT HOT HOT! Just ordered one!

It's called the selfie phone.. "Introducing the Xperia C4, the next generation selfie phone from Sony. Not only do you get a powerful 13-megapixel main camera, but also a 5-megapixel front camera boasting an LED flash and wide-angle lens. The Xperia C4 has everything you need to start snapping PROselfie photos and videos"



That is the only reason I am going to pass :P

MicroSD slot too. Looks good for the price!

Comparison with Smart Ultra 6
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7313&idPhone2=7227

Sony is a good make too, Camera on SU 6 is pathetic . Cant compare these two.

Have bitten the bullet and gone for it. Wasnt planning on buying anything but at this price seems ok - not too expensive and with option of upgrading external memory via SD slot. Is the battery removable?

order thanks op

Very tempted but reviews and previous experience with a Sony Xperia J are putting me off.

Would I be better off just getting a Amazon Fire phone and loading Google Play on it instead?

this will get marshmallow as wel, take that vodafone smart ultra 6

http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2015/10/06/sony-xperia-and-android-6-0-marshmallow/

Got one for Christmas. Thank you :smiley:

just bought it good deal thanks have some heat

Been looking for a branded phone from a decent supplier at this price. Bought an Elephone p8000 which after 2 updates was bricked, only got 10 days use. No more cheap tat. Heat given.

270, 269, now 266 left

Bought great spec.
Are John Lewis good with returns if I don't like it?

Ordered for myself for Christmas.
I was going to get the Moto G 3rd gen but opted for this so hope i've made the right decision

I hear battery life isn't great, it's running 5.0 that's why, expect the marshmallow update to fix most problems out, still better to have updates than none.

Have JL employed the Argos phone spec author:

"Packing an Octa-core Lollipop processor"

Wow.

Thanks captain, even if I've opened and tried it, can I still return it?

Add more than 260 to the basket and it will tell you how many is left...

Lol, must remember that wee tip :smiley:

I always do that, so i know if there's time left for me to browse the net checking the specs, comments, etc. :wink:

hmm £26000 in basket should i buy :laughing:

That assume's their stock count is in real time. I think it is but it amazes me how many large retailers can't get it working with up tot he second stck alerts. Prime examples is M&S and Tescos.

It's a cheap Sony phone with bad reviews. DON'T BUY INTO THE SPECS. Sony's non flagships are terrible and they really couldn't give a monkeys if you aren't happy with it. Filled with bloatware and you'll be lucky if you get an update.

£99 Xperia c4 or £100 smart ultra 6 or £94 Doogee f5 or £81 Umi Rome?

Out of stock

OOS

OOS EXPIRE IT.
Has anyone asked Amazon to price match this item??

don't be fooled by the price. shocking call quality, battery, poor cameras

Not sure. Now that the item is oos

Same price on Amazon now.

Back in stock
Edit: Sold out again

There are so many mixed opinions about this phone, any reason to choose this over SU6 when there's battery and overheating complaints?

They probably have screen on full brightness with a ton of apps running too with bluetooth and wifi on constantly, etc etc

Does anyone know regarding John Lewis returns for mobile phones? Can box be opened, taken out of case or does the box have have to be sealed?

Back in stock. 129 available now.

If it goes out of stock, keep trying after few mins.

EXPIRED!!!!!!! SOLD OUT :disappointed:

I paid 2 pcs, I hope receive them :smiley:

Thank you for the info!

What's better this Sony or this Moto G deal

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/motorola-moto-g-3rd-gen-payg-sim-free-three-uk-99-99-2333729

I am glad to follow my gut instinct, common sense and not just rely on other people reviews, especially if only a handful people write the reviews. The fact that John Lewis is OOS and Amazon has increased its price from £99 to £149.99 in just a few hours tell the whole story. Lucky you who has unreasonable expectation ...

Good for me and others who use a common sense and do not just rely on other people reviews. Do that again and we will sweep all of the bargain ...

Hot... thanks OP

There was only 1 left a min ago so I bought it!

They now have stock at £249, which should mean all previously placed ordered should be honoured.

Why'd you buy 4 then lol

i buy stuff to resell

How the **** did I miss this, Im on here everyday? GOOD GOD!!

£119 at Very http://www.very.co.uk/sony-xperia-c4-16gb-black/1600036522.prd

Mine came this morning, didn't expect Sunday delivery!

mine came as well. nice phone. pity its android 5.looking forward to 6, apparently they are skipping 5.1 and taking this to 6

Device scored 46302 on Antutu 64bit v5.7.1 . Nice for 100 squid :smiley:

tempted. how does this compare with the p8 lite or the wileyfox swift?

Hmm its 119 at very. The p8 lite is 89 at cpw
....
But how do I justify a 3rd phone!?

To those to managed to place an order on Friday afternoon, and received a temporary out of stock email, what's te status of your order? Has anyone had a dispatch email yet?

Also, anyone else with login troubles?

Hey all - mine keeps resetting itself - any ideas?????

Got mine and am going to return it.... Battery life is shocking and the lag on browsing is a joke..... Going to get the Vodafone smart ultra 6 instead as it seems nothing can beat this in the price range.

Hi it was on wifi...... The battery is terrible also I have heard the SU6 battery is much better.

Ours is lightning fast. Maybe your WiFi dodgy? Brother gets through the day with ultra battery and the Sony battery does the same. Brother said Sony was definitely faster and is gutted he didn't get one but I couldn't call him as the deal was at midnight.

For anyone looking for a nice case for the C4, I bought this case which wakes and sleeps the phone so you don't have to keep pressing the button on side :smiley:

Sony smartphones are renowned for having poor battery life. Main reason I didn't go for this deal last week.

46k on antutu vs 27k for the su6 only just noticed the su6 uses a 32bit o/s even the 615 is 64bit

how stupid vodafone :confused: the su6 was a good 1 minute behind the sony starting the tests at the same time

battery ran down 20% after 20mins of asphalt with a medium screen brightness setting , did a wifi test works ok when you are holding it in your hand from the bottom , stick it on your knee and wifi went from 33mbps to 6mbps .

would not recommend , the mediatek chip is quicker but their wifi and radios are not very good.

Why don't you buy an ultra 6 and compare to see what you like better?
My brother and hubby done this last night and both loved the Sony best.

Was it on the lowest setting lol

Try the WiFi test mine was shiit

You mean as in stamina mode etc? Can't remember what it was on if I'm honest but screen was at around 80 as I like the screen bright on my phones.

As for WiFi, I never hold phone when browsing it's always on my knee or leaning on a cushion but it didn't lose signal or speed.

Yes I think I will.... I probably would have kept the Sony if the battery wasn't so poor.

Picked up the SU6 last night from Bluewater..... brilliant phone, no lag with lots of applications open and best battery life I have come across on a phone,it's hardly gone down and have been downloading apps, watching YouTube etc... Plus just got it unlocked for £1.99 of a seller on eBay.... To me it's a much better performer then the Sony without doubt.

Ordered two phones from John Lewis and parcel arrived in good shape and sealed. Signed for it and when I opened, the phone boxes were empty. Called John Lewis and they said it's not their responsibility and report police. They said parcel weighed perfectly fine 600gm when it left for delivery but I told John Lewis today that it should have weighed 900 gm. Big complaint !!!

Has everyone had their orders fulfilled, including those who had temporary OOS emails?

I think he is talking about the outer delivery package was sealed. my phone box wasn't sealed as well (I would expect a tamper proof sticker on either ends) but the contents were brand new and the delivery package was securely sealed.

I thought that but its the way it was worded. Although that is really irrelevant to the issue.

Either way it is up to JL to contact the Police and ensure the customer gets either a refund or a replacement. That is disappointing to hear that they are not taking responsibility.

yeah strange scenario

Ordered and arrives quite late on Friday 4th, a week later. The delivery was some chav in a saxo, back seat full of boxe. he said it was delivered to wrong address, was retrieved, hence delay. Box had sellotape all over it as it was opened with a tear. Should have rejected it but thought if driver is admitting wrong delivery and something is wrong with it, then I should be OK.

Anyway item seems fine, no finger prints on screen so probably not been opened but no tamper seal which is very odd for a brand new phone.
As for the phone, quite impressed. Love features such as one hand operation shifting to the right, close all opened tabs, ability to customise drop doen menu and other little things. Screen is fantastic as is camera.
Perhaps easily impressed as I still have moto g 1st gen. Giving to the wife as I'm determined to buy a Chinese phone soon

Seems quite a nice mid-range phone. I actually sold mine already for £140 because I own an iPhone 6..

I would avoid those chinese ones that are not properly tested! If you're going to get one, get one of the more popular ones that many people have tested first or be faced with many issues.

wifi is rubbish on mediatek best you got rid , i bought 2 to resell but seeing as morons are prepared to pay £100 to make £15 profit on ebay what chance do you have , so sending mine back to john lewis , full price of these is laughable about £60 is all they should have been.

Ah glad I sold mine then anyway.

Not sure what you means about eBay and selling mine? I have actually sold mine for £140 already.

i have seen people put them up for £120 buy now , take away fees and postage the are actually making a loss , strange people

I sold it through Gumtree on the 4th. They seemed happy so all was good.

Are you normally able to place an online order with JL, only for them to cancel at a later date?

I thought their stock system was robust; failing that, I thought they were able to source more stock at a later date?

Hi,
I ordered 2 phones in 2 different orders.

The first was dispatched , the second - cancelled by JL in 14 days because no stock.

The first normally should been delivered on 4th December (the address is to another international courier) so actually I don't know where is the phone because on Hermes site the status of the parcel is Awaiting receipt from Courier from the 4th December!!!!!!, I've sent them an email - still no answer, my courier (the receiver) told that no parcel was delivered, and from John Lewis has no answer (I sent them an email 2 days ago).

If anyone has been having battery problems. After 2 weeks of heavy usage I have found the real problem. Many people are complaining that the battery does not last long and this is completely true. It seems like a some software issue because having used the stamina mode and queue battery option the battery should last significantly longer but it doesn't. Having experimented for the past two weeks I see what the main problem is. Try this and see if it works for you because even though it shouldn't it clearly does and is better for practical day to day usage. In STAMINA mode leave everything switched off but leave extended usage on (thank me later). Leave Queue Background data switched off (it sounds stupid but It really does help with battery, don't ask because I do not know why.) In developer options I have switched all the animations off but I have not seen a significant jump in battery by doing this. The first two solutions in power management really work wonders for the battery life on my phone plus all my messages come on time and doesn't disable my mobile data and WI-FI.

Still no answer from JL about my case for non delivery, it is dispatched the 29th November and nothing
04/12/2015 11:17 Awaiting Courier Receipt from the Hermes' site

How and where could I send a complaint against JL?

Thank you for your answer.
You are right - I thought that someone picked it up but no - the courier lost it ?!?!?!?!?!

"Having looked over the details of your order, I regret to inform that it appears that the parcel has been lost by our courier. I can therefore offer to send a replacement on our next or named day delivery service at no extra cost."

I'm not sure if this is not a hoax, they have no at stock officially.
I cross fingers.

they gave mine to the neighbours

But did you get it back from your neighbor?

In my case is impossible because the delivery address is another courier and I gave a mobile number.

It's really very frustrating and the Black Friday is really black....

Finally is there anyone who received his phone?

yeah dropped it round

Could you please tell me where I could take complaint against John Lewis?

They offer me a replacement or refund, I agree for replacement , the answer was - no stock , I knew that because they cancelled before my 2d order for which the payment authorization has not still cancelled even after the 5-working days promised period.

My bank propose me the block the card because this site is not secure.

And the my case for the first missing phone - no info already 4 days!!!!

Thank you in advance for your help.

After 2 months of tickets I had today my money back but because my credit card is not in pounds and hte currency rate has changed I\m -11 pounds......

Never ever John Lewis!

Good luck to you!
