So I bought a Z3C three weeks ago and had to return it because headphone jack broke. The phone excellent and I'm hesitant to buy it again because the same problem happened to my friend. Did anyone else have the same problem?

            ScreenOn, 19 Oct 2014Why there is no 50% brightness test with xperia phones? (i never got xperia series )Because Xperia devices use some kind of adaptive ambient light sensor which kicks in when the setting is below 100%. So when you select 50% brightness it will actually be "around" that value.

              Beautiful phone is ever had, xperia z3 compact is very fast and defeated i phone, in terms of continuous burst mode Shots. And it basically releases huge speed.

                              Too simplified an OS just to be responsive...

                              I choose Sonys UI overall on all... fast, responsive, full of features, and with it all still best looking and very customizable

                              WP lacks much...
                              IOS is only an app drawer...
                              The closest to come to Sonys UI is Sense, it is a bit more responsive, but uglier...

                                        If you want Xperia T dimensions then the compact is the one.
