iPhone 6 vs. Galaxy Alpha vs. Xperia Z3 Compact: Three kings

13 October 2014
We're looking for the best phone with a sub-5" screen. At a time when the best features seem to only come with the largest display, there's a strange, almost rebellious feel to it. No need to tell you, we're enjoying it. The Apple iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy Alpha and the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact are...

              Joken, 19 Dec 2014And Samsung Amoled is more old technology than TFT. Z3C us... moreTracy1988 is a troll that puts the same comment in Amazon Reviews and other sites... do not pay attention to those comments.

              The phone may have glass quality issues or other problems, but the issues described by that post are false.

                  Picture quality of Z3C IPS LCD is beautiful. Plus long life battery, compact design, water resistant, and anti dust. Z3C is a perfect android for me.

                    Z3C use IPS and in my eyes quality of Z3C display is superb.
                    But i personally more prefer TFT than IPS because TFT is more low energy, it can save your battery life.
                    Your beautiful IPS phone will be useless if its battery is empty too fast.

                      Z3C is a piece of junk. Bootloader is locked with DRM keys which tied to camera post processing software which means the camera can produce decent pictures on its own. Imagine Photoshop inside DSLR. The thing irritates me the most is the patterns of the touch panel clearly visible. Sony mobile display technology is at the bottom. They just moved up to IPS now but can't even get it right. Most of Sony phones were made with TFT, cheap old tech while everyone else got IPS 5 years ago. I made a big mistake this time buying the Z3C. Sony stock firmware contains spywares and a bunch of bloatwares. I'm gonna smash this stupid pos soon. Never buy another Sony junk again.

                        the pixel count does not matter anymore its about the lens, and light that's let into it. I had a S4/S5 and the pictures im taking on my Iphone 6 are as good if not better. so just shows that a 8mpx cam can still pull off awesome photo's.

                          Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is the best android 4" screen range in the universe.

                            Specs don't mean anything to me anymore. I have the s5 and I constantly have issues. Sticking with android I feel like a permanent beta tester bc none ran better than my iPhone 5 (not even the nexus 5). I'll be switching to the iphone 6 soon.

                                  I think if this comparison was done with Iphone 5s vs Samsung Alpha vs Sony Z3c, the results would have still been the same.
                                  Some people will still overlook the smaller screen size and purchase the 5s.
                                  Why? A premium product needs to make you feel good. It needs to make you want it. It doesn't matter what the spec sheet says.
                                  Sony Z3c is the best featured and best value phone here. But it just doesn't make me feel like God.
                                  And if you want to play the best featured and best value for money game? You are not thinking premium. And you will most probably lose to brand like Xiaomi.

                                      Had z3c for 2 wks. Dropped it about 2 ft onto concrete even tho it was in an an leather flip case with soild plastic side's. The case wasn't closed. Causing a tiny crack. Bottom left of sceen. Picked it up thought I still be able to use it. No chance. The whole screen will not work. Not at all happy apart from that loved using the phone. Very disappointed with durability. Now using an old xperia with a 90% cracked screen held together by screen protector and a bit of cellotape most annoying thing had two alarms set which I couldn't disable. Thought the battery would never die even with 16 % that's just on normal battery save mode. Thankfully not in stamina mode. Felt like throwing it the out window while driving Battery abosuletly phenomenal screen extremely fragile. Considering changing it for i6. Android user from the beginning. Trouble deciding to get a replacement and b more careful or CONVERT
