    powerful, more than enough juice to cope with your needs without the hideous ugly large screen.

    the only downside - audio volume is a little bit tad on the 'conservative' side

      *-*, 25 Aug 2014I Bought it month ago it's very bad ..( Do Not Buy it )why ... moreSounds like you have the dreaded 4.4.2, its really not good (KitKat will never be any good, its a lemon OS) but hopefully 4.4.4 will rectify at least some of your problems.

      As for the camera you may have a defective/misaligned G-lens, maybe you should have it compared to another Z1C and then use the warranty if a problem is confirmed. And i hope you are comparing with other 8mp 16:9 photos, 8mp 4:3 photos generally have higher quality due to the considerable higher vertical resolution and cant be used for reference to a Z1C in Superior Auto mode.

        pop, 24 Aug 2014i wish this phone to have dimenzions like xperia mini pro,w... moreI still have an Xperia Mini, genius phone, would have loved to see something similar with modern performance.

        Mini Pro and Mini are living proof that compactness of a phone does NOT come from thickness, the current trend of making phones slimmer and slimmer has no practical advantages, fat short phones are by far the more pocketable ones, these things literally disappear in the pocket, so many times i thought i lost my Mini because i couldnt find it in any pockets at first try.

        Sad that these iconic phones dont have any successors.

              *-*, 25 Aug 2014I Bought it month ago it's very bad ..( Do Not Buy it )why ... moreare you sure you bought the real original piece from sony authorized dealer? i think you got a counterfeit version..or perhaps you actually got a problematic device..

              i've been using this since May and still loving it..it does get hot n the camera did lag sometimes..but the details in all the images i've taken are very impressive (minus the blurry images cause by human error)..it's not a dslr level but it can actually compete with most of the top end compact camera out there..

              battery life is average for me..i can get through a day without a problem with 3g on and constant social networking with a few camera snaps and a little gaming..

              i've never reset my phone n the android had never crashed..it's better if you check all the apps that you've downloaded or installed, perhaps some of them got something to do with your phone crashing..investigate further before you blindly accuse..

              the loudspeaker might not as loud as the samsung s3 as you mention..but you can still hear them clearly..unless you're deaf..sorry..~

              please do some research thoroughly before you start babbling and accusing blindly next time..thank you..

I have been using this phone since May this year and what you are telling us is total distortion of truth: X1C has one of the best battery back up, doesn't hang and have a decent camera. The camera may not be as good as lumia 1020 but it takes decent photos. In my opinion it takes better photos than iPhone 5s

Z1c will definitely hv accurate colors, great viewing Engels etc.. Bt touch input is definitely faulty in many units of z1c.. Search this on d web n u will find so many ppl complaining about touch related issues with their z1c. There r some videos on YouTube demonstrating this.. One guy was saying that multi-touch is not good as z1. He was also saying that the sensitivity of z1's screen is comparable to iPhone! Higher screen sensitivity (responsiveness) means faster app loading.. I hate huge bezels of z1 bt z1 gives unmatched performance!
