Review: Great phone-highly recommended. - I've had this a little while now but had wanted to wait for a few charge cycles and a few weeks of use before writing a review. I'm sure that a question that will be high on people's list when it comes to this phone is whether or not it really last 2 days. The long and the short answer is yes. The least I have got from it is just over 38 hours or so and this is when I was using it constantly- Kindle, Audible, Spotify, Camera and general fiddling to get used to the phone. On the current cycle, with a bit less use but still some tinkering and watching of videos on Youtube etc, it's at 2 days, and 9 hours- admittedly it's on 1% and about to die but I think that as smart phones go, with the specs the Z3 has, this is impressive. I have my phone on Stamina mode and wifi only activates when it picks up a known network which also helps with battery consumption. Have a nano sim ready so you can use it straight away. I knew it took a nano sim so I had that before the phone itself arrived. Easy to get it swapped over. I am with O2 but I would guess the process would be similar with other networks. I had wanted the aqua phone but was not prepared to pay the full price from Carphone Warehouse and I had a number of desertcart vouchers to use.I may compromise and get the aqua phone cover when it is released but happy with the cover I have at the moment and the aqua phone cover is pricey. I agree with the bloatware comments but having come from a Samsung, I can't say this bothers me too much- I just ignore it. I have not experienced any over heating at all. Any warmth I have felt I think has more to do with my own body heat when I hold it for prolonged periods of time than anything else. Sound quality is impressive from the phones speakers and also with earphones plugged in. No tinniness at all and a good bass. I had an S3 mini previously and it blows this out of the water when it comes to sound quality which doesn't surprise me in the slightest. The camera is incredible. It's fast and takes incredible shots. So much so that a friend of mine I was chatting to via what's app and sending images to asked what phone I had as it took amazing photos. I haven't noticed any lag at all. It is extremely fast. I hit a key and it does what I want it to do immediately. No momentary pause- just straight to it. The screen is nice and sharp. If you would like a screen protector (I highly suggest you do for some extra protection), I recommend the same ones as Beanie: 6x Savvies SU75 UltraClear Screen Protector for Sony Xperia Z3 Compact D5803. The phone itself is super sleek and great for use in one hand. For me it was never a question of going for the Z3 over the Z3C as I just don't like big phones and the marginally better screen and slightly higher specs were not enough to entice me. For a bit of extra grip, I'd recommend one of the silicon phone cases (Yousave Accessories Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Case Black Silicone X-Line Cover). The smoothness of the phone did make me paranoid I would drop it but I don't think I would have done.The silicon case adds a bit of grip that eradicates this feeling without adding bulk to the phone and detracting from how streamline it is. I have purchased a magnetic USB charger for less than £3 from ebay that works a treat. I don't feel that the flap over the USB socket would wear out but for £3, better safe than sorry. I honestly can't fault it. I tend to take very good care of my electronic gadgets. I have friends and family that just have to look at their phone and it gets scuffed! I can see me having this for a good few years. 5 stars after 2 weeks of use but should any issues/faults crop up I will most definitely be back to update this review. *****UPDATE 20/10/2015***** I lost my phone and got a replacement through my insurance in January. I wanted to update this review to say that the headphone jack has started to play up. As long as I keep the phone still and don't knock the headphones close to where they are plugged in, it's fine but if you do knock it, which is easy to do, the sound cuts out. This is annoying as I use Spotify a lot to listen to music. I imagine I have just been unlucky as I went 9 month with this particular phone with no issues but wanted to update my review accordingly.
Review: A masterclass from sony with exceptional battery performance - More a concise personal view than a full technical summary, which can be easily sourced by the professional sites. Very simply it's stunning, although the copper is more of a rose tinted gold which is neither masculine nor feminine, and should work for both genders. Battery life is astonishing and hits two days with reasonable use, although charging time is quite high and can take between three to four hours. I'm averaging about 34 C when using the phone indoors, although temperature only appears to be an issue when using the camera. 4K recording is available but clearly needs to be rationed. You may be aware that the phone is both dust and waterproof, although sound quality doesn't appear to have been compromised, in that the audio from both the external speakers and headphones is excellent. Compared to their previous handsets, sony appear to have pushed the boundaries with regard to both audio range and screen brightness, although note that the screen has a slight blue tint which I understand to be a consequence of the battery saving technology adopted. A thread is presently running on the xda forums as to whether this can be compensated for within the settings menu, although the average user will be completely oblivious to it, unless they're looking for issues and choose to jump on the bandwagon. All in, it's a stellar handset which prioritises battery life over nominal advancements in screen technology introduced elsewhere this year. The only two concerns I have, which are food for thought more than anything else, are the longevity of the waterproof port covers, together with the less practical relationship between internal and external storage. The first is easily offset by a magnetic charging adapter which avoids the need to charge via micro usb, but limits you to charging alone insofar as data transfer is not possible magnetically. As an aside, I'm presently using a Magnector-X adapter and heavily recommend it, particularly as desertcart are stocking them directly. The second concern, in contrast, is not really a flaw with the phone but a consequence of where Android is at right now, and whilst workarounds will come you may want to hold back on an expensive sd card until the more recent android limitations have been fully considered. At present, rooting is only available for those who choose to unlock their bootloaders, which may lead to a loss of features protected by DRM technology, such as bravia image enhancement and improved camera performance in low light conditions. The point to note, however, is that apps2sd functionality is not supported out of the box removing your ability to transfer apps from internal to external storage, and this model is limited to 16 GB alone, which then reduces to 11-12 GB given the separate elements required to be reserved. If this isn't enough for you then you'll need to be confident rooting your phone, or at least consider the dual sim variant which comes with 32 GB of internal storage, but may need to be imported.

### ⭐ READ ME for your own good; SONY has a cunning trap in their warranty. Reconsider your purchase; Demand great? I don't think so
*by P***X on 3 October 2014*

My original review with 5 stars is shown below. However, I am here to warn all fellow amazon buyers; think and choose wisely. I will share my experience here and you better read it to understand the risk you are putting yourself in when buying this now-490GBP smartphone. After all, purchasing this Z3 is identical to binding yourself to a contract with Sony under warranty. And I am here to tell you that such contract they have prepared for you as an end user is unjust for situations of my sort. Conclusion first; buy this phone IF and only if you do not mind risking throwing away the money you paid. No product should come with such risk, but I assure you this one does. If you want to know why I can say this, then please keep on reading. Otherwise, just take my word for it. *If you're bothered, search SBE extranet; these are the people your device will be sent off to for repair work in case of a fault. See the reviews on Google? As of 10/12/14, there are 79 reviews and scores 1.7 stars out of 5. Would you want them to fiddle with your 500 pounds?* I purchased this as soon as it was released, started using from early October 2014. As my previous review states, it was a brilliant phone; only given that it works as advertised. After exactly a month(November 2014) Z3 abruptly stopped dead, screen backlight bright as ever but nothing shows on the display. Reboot, software installation, re-charge nothing helped so I shipped it off for a warranted repair service. (I will also warn you about the seller on amazon "total digital stores" which I chose due to its highly positive rating, but turns out they do not care at all about selling a defective product for 500GBP and refused to have it replaced/returned; apparently their return period is a laughable 14days) The repair took a week, and when I received it indeed, it was back and healthy. Now this isn't too bad; they may have sold me a faulty piece but such things do happen, and I won't blame too much on them as long as they do have substantial after -care service. But in 2weeks, the phone encountered the exact same issue. Naturally, doubtful of their "repair" work, I requested a replacement and not a repair. I mean, the same problem happening twice? in a month and a half? Already (supposedly) "repaired"? Such quality for a brand new 500GBP smartphone? Still, I contained my frustration and had it shipped off again for yet another repair as SONY insisted upon it. Now, it came back last week (4 Dec) and prepare to laugh people; it broke on the 6th of December. How can this not be enough evidence that the SONY repair centre engineers(...are they?) are not capable of handling this particular issue? Clearly, this calls for a replacement but I guess this is the difference between SONY and APPLE; to my surprise, they refused to replace it. **I will go on further with detail on the impeccable logic SONY has talked to me over the phone, but if this is getting tedious, here's my point; Sure, buy the Z3 or any SONY product. That is if and only if you are prepared to, in case given a defective product, to undergo the risk of handing it over to incompetent repair service and probably never get a replacement and pretty much end up paying 490GBP for a handful of "we're very sorry for the inconvenience but we won't do the most obvious thing that would fix the issue and keep trying the method that has clearly shown to be non-effective so here's a middle finger to you and we'll still take your money"** Be wise, this is powerful than the iPhone 6 but if you want to be stress-free in case of a defect, this as well as all SONY products are NOT the choice for you. Now, this sums up the conversation I had with SONY over the phone; Me:"This is the third fault in the past 2 months, and you're still telling me to send it for repair which has proven enough to be useless for this matter?" Sony:"Yes" Me:"It says in the warranty that you will either repair or replace it. Why not replace it already?" Sony:"We will replace it if our engineers are unable to fix it" Me:"Which clearly is the case given that 2 consecutive attempts have not worked" Sony:"No, it worked on the engineer's side and if it turned on without a problem on your side, then that's repaired" Me:"This is a smartphone. That definition of "repair" is silly because the last time it broke in 48hrs" Sony: "That still means it has been repaired" Me:"So if this goes on forever, say 10, 20 times of repair during the warranty period and if it turns on at least once, that's not enough to get it replaced?" Sony:"No. It's case by case" Me:"But it's the same device having the same problem. This should not at all be considered to be functioning as a smartphone for daily use, no? Even if they are distinct issues, 3 malfunctions in 2 months is more than enough to show that the phone is clearly vulnerable and faulty than what has been advertised" Sony:"There may be different causes so it is case by case" Me:"(Sigh, Man these people are like preprogrammed answering-machines)Sure it doesn't say in the warranty that there is a set number of repair attempts to be made before replacing the device but don't you think 3 repairs in 2 months is rather absurd?" Sony:"That's what the warranty is for. It covers you for 24 months"(i.e. we don't care about the inconvenience caused as long as we can keep hold of your money) So 1. Sony's definition of "repair" is apparently if it turns on at least once when it gets back to you and even if it doesn't a minute later, it still qualifies as "repaired." 2.There's a trap in the warranty; NO SET NUMBERS OF REPAIR ATTEMPTS BEFORE REPLACING. In other words, we don't have common sense or we don't care or we're both so you send in your device 10,20,30...100 times if need be as long as we can "repair" it(i.e. from the definition above, "as long as we can make it turn on at least once when it reaches your hand") Don't get me wrong, I am(was) a SONY lover my PC, tablet, HDD, phones were all SONY. But now that I have seen how truly ridiculous they are(if they really think they can get away with 500GBP of someone's money with a product and after-care/repair service like this) and how customer satisfaction is next to second on the priority list(you won't see this like I didn't until you get unlucky enough to be in a situation like this), I will, from now on, never purchase a SONY product and further do my best to prevent my friends, family anyone I can contact(Facebook, Youtube, amazon) from buying SONY products in order to save them from the risk of undergoing the same frustration, anger, and waste of time, energy and money as I have experienced. Sure SONY, you think "Yeh, sod off it doesn't even bug us to lose one customer out of millions." You'll see in the long run, you won't be losing just a handful. I have exams coming up now but once they're done, I'll keep sharing this horrible experience and exposing the true "SONY way" of treating customers. Still of course, it is for the potential customers to decide if they will try your products. But for their good, I will try my best to convince them otherwise. "Demand Great" was it? Z3? No, for me, this was "demand great, receive a bowl full of apologies" I have learned a hard lesson at a very expensive lesson fee, but it won't go in vain. I will spread word to the maximum of my power and ability for as long as SONY remains this way; deceptive promises, ludicrous logic, pathetic engineers. So I repeat one last time. Unless you want to risk what I have endured, leave this page now. Do not type "SONY" or "Xperia" or "VAIO" in the search bar. Other major smartphones may not stand out as much as the Z3 is advertised to, but believe me, that is a smarter choice and promised for a more stress-free future. And good thing I didn't buy the smartband talk, was very interested and determined to buy it but Z3 is already enough stress, not willing to agonize myself with more of their products and unreliable "service" (The following is my previous review when I was naive and before I found out how SONY is seriously lacking common sense) ------------- Incredibly nice piece of tech. The design is very good, the curves make it easier to hold with your hands. I can even do easy things with one hand, maybe for texting, two hands are needed. It's very light weight for its size and measure too. Screen is beautiful and vibrant, even web browsing gives you an eye opening screen display performance. Simply beautiful. The speed is very fast too; at least a 10000 times better than the previous phone I had, Xperia J. 3GB RAM is definitely doing it's job, I see I'm using 1.3-5 GB RAM just for apps in general, so 2GB phones are a bit too....meh. If you are having problems with the speed, it's either your wifi or 3G provider, not the phone's fault! In general,application usage is smooth and swift, stress-free. The sound quality is fair too, I have no complaints using it both via speakers and headphones. If you have a problem with this phone or not happy, either that you were unlucky and got a faulty one or you're looking for a phone from the future. Though...one complaint I might make to Sony, not the phone, is that .... why would you not release the protective case for Z3 at the same time? Having trouble getting it, I pre ordered the official Sony case on amazon but it takes a while until release and further more for arrival. Don't see the reason why not, I'd say it makes more sense, and smarter, to release it at the same time. So, no problem at all with the phone, cool just having it in your bag, convenient web browsing and app using. Fully recommended, especially for the price, unlike most of the over-priced phone out there with no-big-deal quality packed in.
