Not much more than the compact. I love my Z1, but a nice upgrade.

Sony won't honour the warranty if bought from a market place. Source: their tech support agents mouth.

They wouldn't if it was from a random ebay shop however in this case if the shop is sending out their own invoices with the packages I see no reason why Sony should not honor this?

I think you'll find that's wrong. If you buy a pair of shoes and they start to let in water after a while, would you go back to where you bought them, or ship them back to the manufacturer? Or you buy a brand new car and it starts leaking oil all over your driveway, who do you get to sort it out, the showroom you bought it from or the manufacturer?

Samsung is in the same boat. I had problem with my Note 4 and Samsung didn't honour warranty as I bought it from ebay though it was sealed pack.

Sony do not have a choice if its sold in the EU then they legally have to provide 2 years warranty, and you do not need an invoice your bank statement is proof of purchase enough.

I bought my Z3 off a guy on gumtree and noticed a splodge on the screen and Sony swapped it for a new one,no paperwork,no questions asked.

Love my Z2. Had it 28 months and can see myself being happy for at least another year.

Same here, I think I saw Z2s for around 180 -> 200 on ebay when I looked the other week, I can't really see how the Z5 is worth £200 more.

My only reason for not buying this is my Z1 is still good after 30 months, and although I'm happy with it, when I do change it I'll probably try a different brand just for the shake up.

Had one before swapping to Z5 compact. Great phone but be careful when pushing the power button, sometimes gets stuck into the case...

This is very true, also have issues in regards to phone insurance when purchased from ebay etc.
Great price for a great phone though. Sony phones deserve more recognition. Superb battery life as well.

I don't think your bank statement shows what you bought. It is just sum of who you pay your money to. It dosn't show "sony z5 blablabla - £xxx", does it? How is that a prove of purchase? It could be anything.

Well under The Sale of Goods Act and other related legislation makes no requirement on the trader to provide a receipt to a customer at the time of sale so it would be unfair to say that you have to produce one to obtain a refund; however the trader may reasonably request you to provide some proof of purchase and this can be in the form of a bank statement, i assume the law is about the same under the 2015 consumer act

Ordered a Z5 in January for £380-ish. Luckily the shop messed up the order, I cancelled and bought a uleFone Power instead after much research.
Saved £250 and have a similar spec* phone, also this goes 3+ days on a charge. :smiley:

It isn't anywhere near the same spec never mind the same quality!
