After 17 months I ended up at the screen to change after the collapse of the private touch gradually top of the screen when quick shortcuts and then touch the lower keys. Is this a common holidays a year later in the series Z3 phones because I noticed it in Okthelr of complaint to others. How surprise was shocking to me because of the increase of the price of the screen outside the security it is unfortunate that the equivalent of one-third of the price of a new phone fully guarantee the agent within my Egypt . How I'm sad , my Sony

Have had 4 Sony phones - One Go, 2 xperia Z1 and now a Z3, bought last year. Or actually don't have it, cos the phone dropped out of my pocket onto a wooden floor and the screen scattered - like in splinters! This after the battery hardly stands for a day, the camera is so scratched despite their own protection cover, and charger cover can't close and the microphone doesn't work. So back to the Z1, which cant hold battery more than 8 ours and where a broken screen means no more usage (unlike z3 that still works a little). The bests phone was Go...since then all Sony phones have been shitty quality, and evenn the Sony store told me NOT to buy a z5 as the back cover breakes. Sony gorilla glass is like fine dining crystal glasses...so DON'T waste money on them even though the system inside works nice!!!

You know newer lipo battery formulations take up to 4.4v (3.8v nominal) right? Quick google shows replacement battery for Z3c is.... 3.8v nominal. Where's the overcharging?

Great phone had it for at least over a year now and never failed me. Also, the pictures it helped take were quite lovely. Battery long lasting and wasn't afraid to use it out I'm the heavy rain! Only down side was that it would get quite hot from play videos or games but nothing I haven't seen in other non-flagship phones. I'd Recommed it (:

Turns out that Sony is cheating with that 'incredible' battery life. If you install some of the battery monitoring tools, you'll discover that they are in fact overcharging the battery to 4.3 volts, getting some addidional capacity while decresing battery life twice if not threefold. You are not supposed to charge lipo to more than 4.2 volts.

I've had this phone for about one and a half years now and during this time the headphone jack socket has failed me twice and the back panel accordingly cracked itself due to uneven pressures under the glass :D


Well premium quality they say?
And I've never even dropped my phone,I also have a glass screen protector and a plastic case.
This phone is damn fragile...

In line with previous comments, I wouldn't recommend this phone. The back camera is very poor considering it's 20MP and the front one is totally useless. The glass screen is incredibly fragile and it's cracked for the second time in the space of a month. And once the glass cracks, the whole screen becomes totally unusable. I'm cutting my losses and gonna sell it for spare parts. Disappointed.

Don't buy this phone! BAD CAMERA QUALITY even in high res settings and latest software update (too much exposure, blurred images, can't even capture moving objects). My phone's TOUCHSCREEN FAILS after 12+ months when warranty expires lol. A lot of XZ3C users are complaining online about the touchscreen issue. Useless phone after a year of usage.
