Similar to the regular Z3 but better in a few ways. Very similar to the Z5.
Same Snapdragon 810 as in the Z5 (Z3 has an 801)
Same 5.2", 1080p display as the Z5.
Same 20.7 MP rear-camera as the Z3 (Z5 has 23 MP)
Same 5.1 MP front-facing camera as the Z5 (Z3 has 2.2 MP)
Bluetooth 4.1, same as the Z5 (Z3 has 4.0)
3 GB RAM, same as the Z5
32 GB storage
MicroSD support, same as the Z5
NFC, same as the Z5
Larger battery than the Z5
Only released in June. Sony have promised a Marshmallow update 'soon'. It is an open box return, which means it will have been opened and maybe turned on, but not 'used'. Bought several phones from Currys / PC World eBay in the past, all have been absolutely perfect - when sold to CeX they've always given an 'A' rating, if that helps.
Free P&P, 14 day return, 12 month warranty offered through Currys / PC World, should also be available through Sony as the phone will be at most 6 months old.

I've been using a Z3 for the last year or so and perfectly happy with it. Don't quite understand what the big deal is with the micro usb flap. You only charge it once every day or two. How hard is it to open a flap?
The camera could be better and speaker could be a bit louder but other than that, it's been one of the most reliable phones I've used up until now and most of all, battery life is great.
Don't think it's the phone's fault if you sat down on it....
Worth noting that this is available for £265 from CeX unlocked, but as said before, this will be pretty much brand new, and no chance of it being blacklisted by the network.

what are the real world usage results like ? have you used it? - benchmarks are one thing, but in the real world things often work in different ways - can you recomend?
added heat though - as it is a good deal
