                  Z1 Compact & Z3 Compact is the best Android in "normal size"

                    Camera wise it an awesome feat for Sony,

                    Been using their phones since SE K800 to this day as z1c

                    What I am longing now is a xenon flash on their smartphones..

                      Very poor camera performance in Auto Mode!!! My former HTC One Mini made much better shots and videos in Auto Mode without exaggeration. Just see other members comments. Pitty for Sony!

                        I love the professionalism of your reviews.
                        This is by all means an excellent phone and you just proofed it.

                          The camera is very good, and the hardware is capable of filming at 120fps and full 4k video. That's unreal for a phone! I've tried and it works like a dream.

                                See the Samsung S4 mini camera how works, just compare the videos. And then you have the answer why Sony is not even close to the top5 guys. But the price is above Samsung so practically I pay more for less.

                                      I hope the price woukd drop in a frw months cos right now this is a damn expensive phone. Same price with the G2 and S4 or maybe higher. I never liked sony cos of its UI but I don't know this phone is quite a beast.

                                        john , 12 May 2014I m facing this charging problem You can get magnetic charger cable, it pops onto the little port on the side. Either 3rd-party ones for $2-5 or Sony-branded for a little more. Although all three of my 3rd-party ones have stopped charging after a few weeks. I did buy the cheapest ones around, though..
