Hot deal, not a big enough improvement over my current Z3 compact but still a nice price.

You can pick up the Z3 Compact for as little as £130 second hand. The improvements in this model are minimal - it still has only 2GB of RAM, which is fine but you'd have thought they could have put it in line with its bigger version and given it 3GB.
Basically it has a slightly better camera, no flaps on the USB port (although there is now no dock connector), a slightly improved - albeit maligned - CPU upgrade and a slightly less premium feel if you ask me.
If you really want one of these though, this is a good price - and coral is nice and funky!

Hmm, tempting but after being on the Z1 Compact since launch, I'm about ready for the step up to the regular sized Z5... any deals about for that atm?
Heat for the this though OP, if I wanted another Compact I'd be all over this!

I agree. This is a super deal, in a fantastic phone. I have recently upgraded from a z3 compact, and apart from the fingerprint sensor and the exposed charging port on the z5 compact, I much prefer my old z3 compact.
The z3 compact is thinner, feels lighter and better quality, and I can't tell much difference between features and performance.
This is a great price for a high end compact and waterproof phone. It ticks all the boxes for me anyway.

Ive got one of these and it seems quite a lot of these (including mine) suffer from a problem with lag/random restarts, freezing. Hopefully will be resolved when marshmallow is rolled out for it next month. If the update fixes this it'd be a great phone. Good price.

I suffered this too (infuriating) and returned my phone - second one I received was fine. Really like my new phone - but be aware some are troublesome - I think its a screen issue.

hot deal... because it uses the SD810, literally hot.
Don't buy it... MWC is tomorrow...

810 has been fine in all of my phones, including this one. Haven't had one overheating issue.

I have the Z5 compact and not only it uses the updated version of SD 810 which optimised and lessened heat, the Z5 less demanding 720p screen and smaller screen and optimised OS I never felt any heat from my many months of usage

Still in a class of it's own.

IIRC the resolution is lower so the RAM shouldn't be a problem
