      mato, 25 Mar 2014Am currently using xperia s as my primary phone and iPhone ... moreWell, Xperia S wasnt a great phone, its easy to admit that now. But starting with Xperia Z Sony has completely removed lag, in fact the old Z lags less than the brand new Galaxy S5 at 2,5GHz according to reviewers who had hands on time with S5 at MWC. Samsung may have flattened TouchWiz to LOOK like iPhone but they havent made touchwiz lighter, its still a pile of bloatware done by bad programmers.

      Anyway, Z1C is among the top 5 fastest phones on the market and has the most efficient UI, no worries.

With the UI you get in today's Xperia, and the processor in the Z1C, its probably the smoothest combination second to stock android

                            answer, 24 Mar 2014What exactly are the diffences aside from the size compared... moreIts much better than Z1, especially the battery. The only disadvantage is the low pixel density display at 342 vs 441 PPI. Please note that PPI is a 1-dimensional value and therefore doesnt really indicate how big the real world difference is. Pixels are 2-dimensional so to compare we have to compare the Square of the PPIs (342*342 vs 441*441), that gives Z1 a stunning 66% higher pixel density.

                            Apart from that Z1 Compact does not have any disadvantages over Z1, and it more than makes up for it with superior battery life, better viewing angles (and better display all in all). The excess size and extremely low battery performance of Z1 makes it a very poor phone, if Z1 Compact is too small for your taste then wait for Z2.

The only problem is that since Sonys tray is not attached to the phone its easy to misplace or lose, but being like that its also cheap to buy a new one, and the sim can be inserted without the tray in emergencies.
