AnonD-273829, 21 Nov 2015can i know why you say s3 camera is better than z5c? plz let me know in detailsJust because of the quality. I don't know, maybe i have defected phone, but pictures are very grainy and seems un-natural. Pixel count is very good, hower the quality is not so good. And I was comparing to galaxy S3 just because it was my previous phone, and I was a bit shocked, that i did see worst quality pictures, than my 3 years old phone has.

    I have recently bought a Z5 compact. For business use it is hopeless. Within a few minutes of use it is too hot to hold against your ear and the very best battery life I can get is 7 hours from fully charged. I'm not using it for watching U Tube or excessive apps, mainly just Whats App and phone calls. I will have to get rid of it and go back to my previous Z3 or move to another brand. A very poor product from Sony which has been my brand of choice for several years.

      PS:The competitors pretend like a Sony user defame Sony is easily.

        Antutu shure has changed with the 6th version. I used to get about 64k with it. Now I'm getting higher numbers than Galaxy s6 Edge. I'm getting 81k with antutu now. Even my older Moto G first gen 16gb used to max out at 19k and now it gets 23k? What the heck is going on with antutu?

                    If U watch online videos for 1-2 hrs continuously then any phone will heat. Video uses screen continuously & processor runs continously too to render graphics. That's why phone heats up. That is not the problem of of just 1 particular phone.

                      I'm using Xperia M4 Aqua now. and i got really terrible prob about over heating after using about 1-2 hours for watching utube. and when it happened, mine was not able to use and the screen was off. got me very angry. in the review from others, the reason is because the phone using the Snapdragon 810 that causes over heating very fast. i'm afraid that it will happen to xperia z5 c, can anyone share me?

                        Im an X iPhone user however I will not go into comparison as it it will not end amywhere. I have The Z5 for a month now and I must admit it is one of the best phones currently in the markets now. Excellent camera resolution, storage, high performance and size. For people compaining about the bulkness I say The phone is handy and size is perfect for not slipping as most of all ultra thin smart phones moreover it's tough and not to mention waterproof. My opinion definitely go for it

                          I own one of these and I must say its a great set. It's the best "mini/compact phone in its series at the moment. You should get it. As I only play 3-6 games, the screen is only 4.6inch with may strain your eyes if you play for long. 20-30minutes is alright

                          . Id recommend these 2 phones
                          1. Samung A8 and Sony M5
                          At the end of the day it's your decision , cheers.

                              I've used my ipad & iphone4s for over 2yrs already (i think) ,& been "phoneless" for almost a year. I'll be buying a new phone next week, & this is on top of my list, im really confused which android phone should i get. I've been watching, reading reviews, making my own research, been asking friends & siblings for months now, but this is actually my 1st time to post a comment about it. I really wanted to have an android phone that is near stock android, has a great gaming experience, good with video calling, Fast camera & something that will last for over a year without being sluggish or that doesn't crash in the long run. Any suggestions and opinions? I hope im making a right choice if ever i get this phone. Budget USD500. Thanks to whoever takes the time to read and comment on this.

Just ordered z5c after long time with z1c. It is funny to hear grow up man complaining about 2 mm here and there. I want it in my pocket not in my ... bag? And i want a nice cpu and features and it has to be waterproof. Oportunity to change sd is nice..Kingston 128 GB microSDXC Ultra Class10 UHS-1 will change your way of thinking about phone storage ;) Anyone tried to force it to cast teamviewer screen to a non miracast thing ? :)

                                        I made a foolish decision and decided to upgrade my z3 compact to a oneplus x.
                                        Apart from screen size, slimness, design and ram it was either slightly worse or much worse in every area.
                                        To list the bugs
                                        Autobrightness terrible
                                        Gaming performance rubbish unless you root and change kernel
                                        Sound quality abysmal
                                        Screen too vivid and unnatural
                                        No gain in sharpness despite higher res screen
                                        Camera mediocre
                                        Camera app appalling
                                        It's a good upgrade from a moto G and offers good performance for 200 if you're prepared to tweak it or wait for 20 software updates to fix the bugs.
                                        But it is not close to the z3 compact in terms of everyday use let alone the z5 compact
