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 ... moreBecause 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.

jellybean, 03 Oct 2014Spot on. If Sony made a WP version of this, it would be perfect
WP is going apple way...
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...

i'm still using mine, but ... moreyou're correct, it is 720p.. That is testament to how good the screen was that I thought it was 1080p.
If you want Xperia T dimensions then the compact is the one.
