Is the Xperia Z3 Compact the next device for you? - Xperia Z3 Compact General

Hey Guys and Gals
The Z3 Compact's specifications look very interesting, sharing many of the features of the flagship Xperia Z3, rolled up into a smaller package. The screen resolution is considerably lower, but with the smaller screen size, it still manages a reasonable ~319 ppi. With the flagship devices getting ever larger, its refreshing to see a manufacturer pack high-end hardware into a "mini" form factor. Great for those who don't want or don't need a 5"+ screen. Throw in PS4 remote play, its a tidy little package. Who's getting one? Would anybody consider this over its larger brother?

I just hope Sony releases the phone in North America timely, I hate when manufacturers announce new and exciting products but make us wait months and months unending till all the euphoria dies.
But the good news is that it is currently listed on both the US/CA Sony online store as "coming soon" though UK store already has it for pre-order.

Already ordered
I'm switching from iPhone 5. 6 is not for me.

Welcome to the club
The chance is 90% that I'll switch from the Xperia Z to the Xperia Z 3Compact

I'm definitely getting it, leaving my first Sony phone behind, a nice Xperia ZR which I absolutely love. I'll love the Z3 Compact even more
Sent from my C5503 using XDA Free mobile app

Im getting one, going from a htc one m7.

I'm definitely getting this one too.. Going from my 3 year old Galaxy S2 to this and I would prefer the Z3C any day over the Z3 itself. Even if both had identical pricing I would go with Z3C only as I have a strong preference for the smaller and the right footprint of Z3C. I want an android phone that can be comfortably operated with one hand and yet offers top of the line specs.

I currently have a GS5 but don't like Samsung, i am waiting for the iPhone announcement just to see what it brings but the Z3c is looking awesome and i am seriously considering going for it. My only annoyance is i think timescape ui looks a bit outdated hope they refresh it with the Android L update.

I can't decide between the Z3 and the Z3c. Just to put things in perspective, the screen on this thing is almost as large as the HTC One M7 and the rumored iPhone 6 but the overall device size is much smaller!

I Hope So... This Smartphone is Very Interesting for Me

I got a Z1 Compact, 6 months ago. Z3 Compact is definitelly worth upgrading to.
Plus, same res but bigger screen?
No.

Definitely, as soon as its available in India, but I'm confused between the white and the mint. White because the front is white too and mint is just adorable

On Android, 'ugly' UI shouldn't be an excuse, since you can always change the UI to your liking.

I know and it is possible, however i would like to keep it stock, Sony has the ability to install theme's on top of the UI and i can install nova and change alot and make it look good but there are a few elements which look really outdated like the floating apps menu, just would like them to make the UI fresh again Android L style would seem nice.

But then again that's an opinion. There are many people that won't agree with your points. So in the end they can't please everyone.
I don't think they will rush anything Android L, not even just a theme/skin. They will come with a skin when they bring out Android L for Sony devices.

Why Sony (Ericsson) is better than others?

Most of you have been complaining about how crap is Sony etc etc. Just because they don't give you HDMI sources or Jelly Bean or whatever, doesn't make them bad.
Just a video, what I found on YouTube, that Sony can be better than Samsung.
Feel free to post more stuff if you wish.
Sound on headphiones much loder then on any htc or apple or any other phone i think is about 20% louder
The colors look more saturated on GSII, but more real on Arc. IMO
Another thing that I like of Sony (and the reaason why I'll stick to their phones) is their UI, they take care of almost every single detail, the icons, the music player, everything.
Very nice video

I like that sony sell device cheaply. At any price point sony hardware are better than other oem.
There's plenty of other thing that i like on Sony's. And my final grip on sony suckness has been remedy by Google abandoning nexus s and xoom at 4.1.

I guess Sony is back with a vengeance. I like many things that Apple and Samsung bring to the mobile market, but I'm tired of watching this duopoly develop, so I'm glad to see more competition and a disruption to that dupoply. I don't know where all you guys live, but where I live, almost ALL of the Samsung phones are almost as expensive as the Apple ones and at that they are all black retangular boring objects with NO differentiation. I'm glad to see NEW price points, COLOUR and CHOICE. Sadly, HTC, Sharp and others seem to have been falling apart in the last couple of years so any more competition is good.
(As for the resources, if you Google the stories you'll find a resource that you may prefer, these two were more credible for me.)

apparently steve jobs took inspiration from sony devices when designing the iphone. I read about it on xperia blog a couple of months ago
Possibly, but this must've been before there were smartphones, when the closest thing were PalmOS, Samsung devices pre iPhone looked like the iPhone, funny how nobody really knows that, and obviously iOS is very similar to PalmOS. But it's easy to nit pick, I don't really know what Sony phones used to look like...

Hdmi is ``a big'' difference, without adapters.
The HDMI sources isn't a great argument to hate them, if they write it themselves, which the probably do as they specialize in different electronics that use their code, most likely at least, so it's no surprise the its closed source, as it cost them money.
Anyway on a side note of that, I'm using Xperia ultimate HD 2, which is based on stock 4.0.4, so it has HDMI on the stock, I don't know why people would want to cripple their phone by using a limited version of a ROM, missing out on Sony's added apps, like X-Loud, Bravia Engine, HDMI, and a 3rd party camera app that sometimes is lower quality. It just isn't worth it IMO, if you're buying a phone like this you want the best you can get from the hardware and software, and Sony do a pretty good job with their version of Android. Let us not forget they gave us ICS before anyone outside Google.

I started as an Ericsson fanboy with T28 (World) when I lived in Philippines many years ago but with some Nokia inbetween since then. I have now bought a new Xperia V (LT25i) here in Sweden, but still have my Arc as a router for some stuff in the house and as a long time dear friend. :laugh:
Only thing is, the Xperia T forum moderator is bad. They don't want make a General Xperia V thread in the Xperia T-device section for some reason.

[POLL] What Made You to Buy / Pre Order / Like Xperia Z?

Just like the title- what made you to like XZ and buy or pre order the phone?
For me, I just liked everything of Xperia Z. but waiting for price drop!
Please tick your reason in above poll. You can select multiple choices!
I desperately need an upgrade as my arc s is to slow for my usage, my contract was expired in august but didn't like any phone at the moment enough to upgrade. I was tempted by the one x+ but I like the looks better of the xperia z and it is more up to date. I think any 2012-2013 high end phone would be good enough for me so I have the luxury of just taking the one I like. When the One was presented I was thinking of switching but that phone just isn't for me.
love your city and country btw

i bought the xperia z, because i had a pretty good experience with the xperia arc s. I also like sony's ui, i think it's much better than touch wiz.
i love design, build quality, performance, sony ui ...amazing phone!!!!
Well everything, but the Design & build quality gave it the edge over the competition.
Fancied a change from Samsung and HTC, the more I see the XZ it makes me think how beautiful it is!
Really Sony have put out all the stops this year, I think it's the best looking Android phone and I want a premium handset that not only looks the part, takes decent pictures/videos too!

I don't like long goodbyes, so I'll be brief. I got myself a Google nexus 5, and so i'm stopping with testing and flashing x10. A lot of thanks to this community which have helped me since 2009. It was fun and great with you all. Of course I'll be checking in every now and then to see the progress on the developments.
Since 2009, my x10 has gotten three lives thanks to some great developers, and it still is running great.

Keep us/me updated about how good/bad nexus 5 feels than a sony flagship. I'm thinking to change device as well
And also good luck mate. Was pleasure reading your results...
Hi all,
You really can't compare a 2009 Somy flasgship with a 2013 Nexus.
If I'd compare the Nexus 5 with the current Sony flagships (Z1, Z2, etc.) than i would definitley choose the Nexus 5.
Reason for that is that i like the pure Android experience. This is what Google has meant. LG has made the hardware and they've used the exact samen hardware for their own LG G2. So, no difference there.
But in the software they have added their one stuff. And all the others (Sony, HTC, OPPO, etc.) are doing the same.
But Android is complete already. Google itself has all the stuff i need.
Sure, other brands have somy nifty stuff build in. But all the populair stuff they create will be ported or recreated very fast. So other devices/users can use it also.
But (IMHO) most of the stuff they build is marketing. The intended and needed functionality is already on Android.
As for performance. You can't beat this device. But should you?
The HTC One, or the LG G2 are also really fast! I sure cannot notice the difference in their performances.
And if i add up the price you pay for a Nexus..... Choice wasn't that hard for me.
Best regards,
UltimateGeppie
By flagship, i meant the Z1, Z ultra etc. I heard from a lot of people that sony devices are underpowered. Read on reviews also that the 20.3 mp of Z1 could not win over wide functionality of nxs 5 and note 3 camera. Sony has good hardware but they lag on software side. Like you see, S4 is packed with sensors. Even though they're gonna copy the idea of water resistance and finger detector in S5 but people are still gonna prefer it over Z2.
Nxs 5 outnumbers all the flagships out there and that too in a reasonable price.
Iphone is expensive sh*t. The best, but useless....

Yeah I've got a Z1 and a note 3. I've found myself using my note 3 on a daily basis. Everything seems better with it.
But the Z1 has a better feel to it. Although I'm starting the like the leather feel on the note 3 more each day.
It's a shame. Sony have a good ui and build, they just can't seem to get it right. Even with the camera. my note 3 takes faster/better pics.

Hi guys...
@niaboc79 point me to this web page
Apparently, this should be next Sony's big thing...
If you ask me, I don't like new look but we'll see final design once Sony announce this new beast.
And yeah...even many claimed it'll have S810, it'll probably be S805 with 4GB of ram.

What do you wanna say?
I wouldent see why not the device would be so powerful, they have had some tough market recently and although sony isnt one to faulter in quality (exept Z2 hiccip)
Im hoping to come across a Z4 but my college budget says hell never.
That is the image of a Z3...
http://www.androidpit.com/sony-xperia-z4-release-date-news-specs-features
here is the features of the upcoming z4. I gonna buy this!!!
Nice but i hope sony will avoid onscreen buttons or at leastgive us an option just like oneplus one..
That pic just looks like a Z2 it seems though
Or perhaps something edited and also made to look poor quality
BTW - that digitiser isn't from Z4.
That's a fake.
I wonder about Z4, Sony need to have a 64bit cpu just for the name of it
Customers either go for lies or big titles, Sony trys not to lie but they also fail to provide at times
Z4 would need a 805 or above to arouse any eyes
Maybe not even that, perhaps lolipop, 64bit, QHD Display
Big words Avg customers dont know about
Yay marketing, Crude work
nope xperia design is loosing its point
The main reason wich made me buy a smartphone now was the genius design of the XZseries, but since the Z3 they go this ****ty casual rounded borders way wich just looks as every other Iphone.replicant...
When I look at my naked Z2, damn I get a tech.boner with nice crispy borders looks like a chocolate.bar! Yummyyummy
And hopefully the Z4 comes with an Ultra version thats the only thing I miss bout my Z2 make them bigger, I anyways charge daily whats the point of small screen for the sake of 30% battery over the night so u have to charge in the mifdle of the next day xD
I also had seen an Z4 design earlier wich went more onto my desired way of design but i think it was a phantom....Ill post a link when I find it later

I like Sony, phone has good quality, design also nice
Xperia Z4 will be a 5.5" inch screen and UHD resolution and snapdragon 805 (confirmed informations) not much, but little informations is better than nothing

Android 5.1 coming to the Z.

Sony have officially announced that Android 5.1 is coming to the entire Z series starting from July. The support for this device just keeps getting better and better!

4.1 - 5.1.x - better support than the Nexus 4.
Great move from Sony, a step ahead of the competition.

Are there many (or any) devices that have had 5 official updates to major versions of Android? Sony are excelling themselves with their continued support.

Great job Sony! But i do not expect it to be upgraded to Android M
5.1 is really service pack for 5.0. Current version is quite buggy
Talk softly, tread carefully and carry a big gun.
Well, for sure my next phone will be from Sony. I'm impressed!
Hugely impressed with the amount of upgrades. My phone is over 2 years old now and still as useful as day one. Nice work Sony...

So much irony over here.. Previously before this annunciation we had post like „I don't expect Sony will bring us 5.0.x“,. after that we've seen „Sony is so dumbasse* that they can't bring us 5.1“ (or sth), and now, when we're officially getting 5.1 people start's saying „I don't expect Android M“.. c'mon, guys. We're so damn lucky that we even got 5.0.x, because our Z is 2+ years old.
come on guys even the nexus devices don't get updates tis much. instead of feeling bad about android m be glad about our XZ's having a L update. i think sony is doing a great job about android and phones or tablets. it's a shame that other phones users don't see the durability, camera, support and power of our devices.

camera takes very bad pictures especially after update
thats why i will stick to Sony. i abandoned Chinese handsets a long time ago and bought an Xperia Z with a nice open source policy, a big community and updates for this handset. Thank you Sony for supporting us!
I think we will wait another two or three months to have it on our Z. But I am very happy we will get it.

well i think there are some camero improvements. especially speed of focus. it focuses faster than before and i tink low light photos are better too. at least i feel that way
Another 8 months more to get 5.1 based on my own speculation. Sony Mobile first announce their lollipop upgrade @oct last year and we got it after around 7 months.
5.0 -> 5.1 is a much simpler step than 4.4 -> 5.0 so it shouldn't take as long.

I wonder whether it will be 5.1.1 with the bug fixes
Any news about Camera2 API? Would love to see it on our beloved XZ
