Which would be a good upgrade for this phone?, I currently have one but I would like to change it, The requierements I have are: Screen size lower than 5.2 inches, fingerprint scanner, better cameras, specially the selfie one, and a day-long lasting battery. I will appreciate your answers.

The camera is awful no matter what resolution you pick.
Needs to be rebooted weekly or loses signal completely (tested on two different ones, bought in different time frames and in different countries).
I wouldn't recommend it because of the above issues, but I admit I've seen worse.

Gino76, 02 Apr 2017I am trying another route in my quest to find my next "affordable" phone and this time it is t... moreHaven't used the z5 compact but I did have an iPhone SE before giving it to my mum. All the questions you ask (battery life, photo quality, etc) the iPhone SE absolutely shines in! The quality of the device is absolutely amazing and really worth checking out if it's a small phone that your after. As a current iPhone 7 user I'd even go as far as saying the iPhone SE offers the best iOS experience. But in saying that, it also lacks the customisation that android offers.
Biggest difference are the os's. Pick the phone that has your preferred ecosystem.

I am trying another route in my quest to find my next "affordable" phone and this time it is the Xperia Z5 Compact vs the iPhone SE. A third choice would probably be the X performance. I feel it is a sensible comparison 'coz of the (almost) similar sizes of both phones.
Heard about some positive reviews of the SE. So, between the two phones which one takes better photos disregarding the actual megapixels and more of the speed, performance and post-processing?
Which one has a louder, more clearer speakers sound output?
And which one is supposed to have better battery life in terms of web browsing and standby time?

Now I got 2 questions from your experience .. what are the demanding tasks that get the device heated up? and how much heat are we talking about? can't handle the device anymore, have to be left to cool .. or just a bit warm, 40 degrees like?
Second thing, the GPS .. you mentioned that it's not accurate .. I don't need 100% accurate, but like 95% not to get lost while navigating .. :)
But more importantly, how powerful the GPS is ..? as In many locations in my city, if the GPS is not sensitive enough, my phone does not track me .. :(
If you could compare the above points between z3c and z5c, would appreciate it .. :)
thanks a lot ..

Advantages of upgrading: it's faster.
Disadvantages: heats up when performing demanding tasks, had problems with mic (probably my fault), relatively quiet speakers. GPS is s*** if you want high precision.
Actually GPS used to be quite good, but after some update last september/october it just became s***. HAd to buy GPS watch for my runs.
IDK about battery life. Lasts full day if I'm not doing too much internet stuff.
Love the size!!!
