I was going to say, battery life was incredible on my Z3C!

Battery life is shocking. Why would you bother settling for this under the guise of a so called premium brand when there is far better options available. Having had 3 xperia's they have gotten progressively worse. Stay away from PHONY...

How do you know what the battery life is like ?
Going by the Z3Compact it was one of the best around when it came out for battery life.

Just put an order and it was accepted. Let's see what happens....
Frankly, I too am massively happy with my Z3c but the fact that the OS is moving 64-bit and there is unlikely to be any possible upgrade beyond 6.0.1 is a problem.
Good spot op. Pops

Less hopefull now as they said they'd ring back within the next 30 mins and they haven't, and they shut in 5 mins :-(

I'm a bit more hopeful after calling. Yesterday it wouldn't go through and I was told they would call back. They didn't, but today I was told it's because they're sending them straight from the manufacturer. I'm awaiting a call back to confirm it's gone through :-)

Great price for a latest flagship spec device

11 Sep 17#20
It has all latest specification for the price of £400..720 p screen is great for mobile as it save battery life and give excellent gaming performance and frame rates . this mini phone will be benchmark champion but still wish it had 3000Mah battery and not sure whether camera quality is equivalent of pixel ,S8 and others flagships
jazzuk777 to Desi.Guy
11 Sep 17#21
I doubt the camera quality will be very good based on previous Sony flagships

Not sure where we're getting the 4.7" screen from it's not an iPhone :thinking: the XZ1 Compact has a 4.6" screen...
Nevertheless a good price compared to the CPW at of £499.
Hot deal for the price. I think they've skimped putting a 1920x1080 screen on this though for a "flagship" model.
schnide to bryngreen
11 Sep 17#17
It's 4.7", I really don't think 1080p is necessary.
I moved to the S7 from the Z3 Compact and to be honest don't notice the difference with the HD screen. I do, however, miss the compact size of the Sony which meant I could use it one-handed..
Oi, quit laughing at the back!
Seriously though - if the camera is (finally) really good on this phone then I'll switch back to Sony. Here's hoping.

Shame about the screen and battery but still hot
Cameron583 to spencer24

2700 mAh is plenty for a small 720p screen with a 10nm SOC (835). It'll likely have great battery life. The bigger XZ1 is what I'd be concerned about

I always have wifi problems with Sony phones. I used to have an original Xperia Z which had poor wifi so move to Samsungs... no problem at all. Recently my wife got a new Sony and again poor wifi.
