Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

The Z1 compact shuts by itself "due to high temperature" after just a few hours operation side by side to an old Xperia SP.
Sent it back to SONY support TWICE, still shuts down, they don't even know what the prob is. I've read several users have the same problem and no one has a solution for this.
It is a nice phone, small, handy, and it is a shame.
I would NOT recommend buying this produt. Very dissapointing, I feel I have thrown my mmoney (and the time to set up the phone 3 times) off the window.

Another thing you need to know about this phone is, that it's screen really loves finger prints.

I bought this Game to play Pokemon Go (56€~ on ebay, with defect speaker phone (dunno if thats the correct translation, the thing you'd use while driving), it's not delivered yet, but I think it's Snapdragon 800 and Adreno 330 is still superior to newer Phones in the 200€ price range, which usually come with a Adreno 405 or comparable and a low clocked octa core.
While I didn't initially look for a compact/small phone, I think it's quite a unique thing in comparsion to what you'd get offered as new for

The display of this phone seems extremely prone to breaks. Minimum impact, unluckily exposed to, can break the display. Cracks may be nearly invisible, nonetheless the phone is gone. Saw this happening three times, one incident with even an unnoticable impact that broke the display. However, no-one wold buy this phone nowadays anymore, anyways.

andryanaw, 28 Jun 2016is this the same type as z1 compact docomo? i've got stuck ... moreIt sounds like you need to update your phone's APN / Internet settings. You can do that under Settings -> More -> "Internet Settings." If it doesn't update automatically then tap "Mobile Network Settings" and there you can select the Service Providers (to select your network) or APN settings. If you can't get the APN settings to update automatically then you may need to enter them manually. Your carrier can provide those.
If your phone is locked then you may not have the ability to do all of that. In that case contact your carrier.

I've had this phone for about a year and a half.
Overall I'm happy with it, considering I payed about $350 for it unlocked (if I remember correctly).
The size and specs are good if you're looking for a smaller phone without giving up a lot of power. At this time (July 2016) it's probably closer to a mid-spec'd phone then a flagship.
The build quality is pretty good, considering the back is plastic. There doesn't appear to be any parts of the phone that feel loose or creek when using. It is waterproof, but I haven't tested it.
The stock software has been a mixed bag. Often it performs well, but on some occasions it inexplicably runs sluggish and becomes unresponsive. I blame Sony for this, as some of their updates seem to perform better than others. I eventually moved to a custom ROM after rooting, which has helped a lot with the performance issues and bugs. It's too bad Sony can't seem to get it right when optimising Android for their devices. I wouldn't suggest getting a custom ROM to most people, but if you're familiar with the process and don't mind doing it then I think you should try one if you aren't happy with your phone's performance.
The camera is pretty decent. It's not really as good as an iPhone 6s/6s+ or a Lumia 1020, but better than many phones that are out there.
The LED LCD screen is decent, but compared to the AMOLED displays we see out there now on newer Samsung and LG phones the XZ1C's screen feels less vibrant and more dull (as in the max brightness). The screen resolution is only 720P (landscape), but as it has a smaller screen size physically it isn't an issue.
Overall it's a nice phone in a smaller size. It's a bit dated spec-wise in Jul 2016, but still performs pretty well. If you have performance issues consider a custom ROM (if willing). You can probably find one for a good price.
