    AnonD-235859, 09 Mar 2014Hi Sup, No I haven't bought this phone , I am not in Indi... moreThat is the whole point Ritesh , the 720p resolution makes this the fastest monster available at this time (1080p phones have more pixels to push around on the screen and hence requires more processor power for the same ) , the xperia zr is one awesome smartphone , but then it isnt waterproof not does it feel this premium in hand . Also the battery life is so much better in this z1 compact . This is the first smart phone since 2009 I have that can boast all day battery and extend beyond it on heavy use and I have been using smart phones since the humble days of symbian and nokia 6630 lol .

    Trust me when I say this . this is one of the better or best smart phones available today , will be checking out this page often so if anyone is having any questions regarding the z1 compact then feel free to ask

      when I compare its battery backup to galaxy s4 octa core version realy a looser ..jst check it 11 hours taketime on 3g and nearly 21 hours of z1c web browsing realy a big gain in z1c 13 hours compare to 7 hours and 10 hours of video playback in z1c but s4 win just one hour..im gng for z1 compact! !! I really miss a dual sim variant. any way im gng with it..and im waiting for a price drop with less than 30k INR!

              [deleted post]For some reason Xperia cameras seem to get worse with every new model released in the last 2 years. I don't know what the heck Sony are trying to do. It's not like the camera is the essential killer feature of any phone, but I still use it, and I don't see why they used to be able to build good ones, and now not any longer. I would really like to replace my Xperia with another Xperia, but if they don't manage to get their cameras in order, I might have to look for an alternative.

It looks nice on photos, but if you see one in real life, you notice how cheap their body and mechanics really feel. I don't think Apple or HTC would be happy about your comparison.

What a comparison, since its well known that Delorean has several times been awarded the world's worst car. Worst of all is that you are right, HTC really is garbage in a nice wrapping.

Classy phones are metal and gorilla glass not easily scratched plastic covered glass in front with a clear plastic colored black on back. Like I said, it looked like a plastic phone to me & not something I would want to show off.

                                  No I haven't bought this phone , I am not in India Now, but I was having a eye on every Sony Xperia Phone, Somehow I was not satisfied with the features offer and the price offer (internationally not only in India).However I was impressed with the specifications bundled in this small compact phone. Its totally personally choice though please don't consider my thoughts if your choice is different. If you keep aside camera / Processor and physical appearance (including screen type) of phone nothing has been drastically change in sony xperia Compact Z1 with Sony Xperia ZR. If you remember after launch of sony Xperia Z (Feb-2013) after few months sony launched Sony Xperia Zr (Jun-2013) and as the matter of fact the Zr was actually a mini version of the Sony Xperia Z same camera, same processor , same RAM , Same GPU ,close to same batter life difference was with screen resolution Full HD (1080) compare to HD (720) that's why it was mini version. So its my personal opinion that if give a chance i will go ahead with Sony Xperia ZR rather then Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Saving all most 10,000 INR. Apologise to Z1 Compact fan boys.

But price went far lower than I thought. Gonna get this phone for sure. Then dive when I arrive in my province for summer vacation. I have bad experience going to beach leaving my phone on cottages. But this one, I'll take it alone while swimming.
