    AnonD-209094, 02 Sep 2014720p = no sales. 720p on 4.5" is more than enough. I bet you couldn't see difference between 1080p and 720p with your naked eye.
    When 720p is much easier on the battery.

        xperia z3 compact is very good. All the specs are superb. In, fact it is more compact than xperia sp. battery will really improve in z3 c. only thinking about the camera, hope sony will improve the camera quality, even that 20.7 megapixels g lens has seen in z1. 16GB storage is enough, if it doesn't have a lots of bloatware, and has an option move apps to SD card :)

                      Hope this one has an actual glass back (not high-gloss plastic, like the international Z1C).

                        Didn't care much for the looks of the phone. Only cared for performance and one-hand usability. That's why I chose to buy Z1C. Will skip this one since it's only a marginal improvement.

                            I dislike big phones, I'd prefer usability over ha ING a bigger screen. But since all the other manufacturers phones dumb down the specs for their mini version, I look forward to Sonys offerings, having a kicked specs sheet with a compact and easy to use form factor. I hope the viewing angles are improved even better than that of the Z2. Sorry if English isn't good.

Apple also got Sony's help on the engineering for many of their products.

I own a Htc One m8 which has some bezels i admit, but its because of its speakers (best in any phone by far).. Thinking about getting Note 4 when it hits my country.
