It has 13mp camera but i use the 10mp for wider pic as option. I compared it to my buddy who has xperia z1s 20.7 mp. We took pics inside the house and compared it. Mine looked a bit brighter because it has optical image stabilization and he doesnt. Than we zoomed in just slightly and you can immediately tell how my pic was smoother with no noise and his looked way worse first thing he said your phone has a better camera. I also have better battery life and better screen. Mine is bigger screen and smaller compact body. I paid 398 for g2 and he paid over 600. The new z2 and z3 have improved the screen using ips and better battery but camera is just about same with no Ois. You have to have Ois if you want a balanced camera for indoor and outdoor. OIS helps a lot in dark images. So until sony starts adding this feature it cant claim to have best camera.

So what do you think..isn't battery score a bit excessive and exaggerated?? If it proves to be true..this device will be mine!!

[deleted post]Yes, I think they need some better video testing and better samples of moving video other than cars on that ugly road.

once i bought the xperia s with its 12mp camera,and the first thing i did was to brag about the camera in front of my friends who own iphone 4s and galaxy s2(both 8MP),but what happened was very embarrassing,we three took a picture for the same object and i was sure that i will when but the photo that i took was full on noise and ugly,i sold my phone the next day....
since then i check every sony phone camera and compare it with other phones,sony camera improved a lot since the xperia s except for the horrible camera of the xperia z but the noise is still their ,i don't care about getting more details if the photo is full of noise and ugly.....
the xperia Z3C camera is excellent but for me the noise level makes the samsung alpha,the iphone 6 and even the galaxy 5 mini better choices for people who want best photos......
please i am not a fan boy for any company and i don't want to discuss with fan boys they just care for promoting,in the past they said the xperia s and xperia z have the best camera when they were released and now will say the z3 and z3c have the best and in future they will say the same...........

https://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/... moreabout the difference between xperias and galaxies in video recording:

I really dislike the galaxy tremor, it is barely watchable despite more vibrant colors, and xperias have much faster autofocus
So there you go with your cam quality

It s just hardware cr.p by todays standards, hidden into premium looking box, just to sell...
...So people would think it is premium and top, and cash out a1000 bucks for it...
And they will...
Their brains, their money, their loss...who are we to judge?
Apple seems to be in some financial crisis or sth, so they outed low spec phone with cheap internals for the maximum price....
They obviously needed minimum production cost for maximim profit turnout...
And they will get away with it...
Ah well

When comparing the loudspeaker volume, bear in mind that Xperia Z3C speakers are facing front. A louder speaker on the back would may still result in fewer dB in front of phone. GSM arena always measure volume on the side the loudspeaker is mounted.

Samy, 13 Sep 2014Do you need a small phone or a small screen? The z3 compact... moreHi Samy. I knew about that. I need a bit smaller body *and* screen. I prefer using my phone one-handed. I actually made a crude mockup of Z3C and my thumb can't reach all corners of the screen comfortably. But Z3C is still my best choice for now.
