      Anonymous, 09 Jun 2014Actually i m planning to buy z1c over LG g2 and HTC one min... moreIf you worry about earphone volume, I guess I can recommend buying Z1C. The volume is a bit lower than on Neo, but the sound has more quality...If you still lack the volume I recommend downloading MX player (free): In settings check h/w+ and s/w decoder on, and also " use as audio player" and "play in background".... And there you go, you'll have a music player with about 75% more volume. Enjoy your new xperia. It's a blast believe me! ;-) (just recommending to stay on 4.3, dont upgrade to 4.4)

          Anonymous, 11 Jun 2014Maybe if you would have a bigger IQ you could understand...Look, the goal of a camera/display is to recreate the original image the camera captured. If you want luminous green parrots & football pitches then I suggest you get into genetic engineering. The same goes for microphones/speakers. Their job is to reproduce the sound the composer wanted us to hear.
          If someone has personal tastes that's fine but but don't blame the display / speakers as being crap for being accurate.
          If amoled is a six for you then I would genuinely love to see & buy a screen you rate a ten.
          Anyway to get back on topic after your silly segue.
          I was simply saying that Sony traded black levels for definition. When viewing a video of someone wearing dark clothing standing against a dark background the whole thing blends into one.
          Last night we viewed a crappy X factor video on YouTube with four different phones at the same time. IPhone 5S(IPS) , HTC One(LCD 3), Galaxy S3(AMOLED) & this Z1 Compact(IPS). An acceptable range of screen types regardless of your personal preference. The Sony was the clear looser. I was looking at the crowd in the background when the camera was on the judges. People's hair was often one block colour & often blended in with their clothes.
          If you have ever calibrated a tv or projector to a HTPC you probably noticed that if you set the brightness to low in the video software like Vlc or whatever, there is no way to correct it with the display. Sony seems to have done something similar. Nothing wrong with the display. The feed is just arse ways.

            So Idk which one I should buy? Z1 compact, LG G2 or myb nokia lumia 1020 ?
            So is the music ok on the headphones and on the loud speaker cuz I heard if it's in water the water gets in the speaker so the music isn't that good on loud speaker (or whatever)
            Also I wanna know what's wrong with the camera cuz it's has fantastic 20 MP! And what's wrong with the display? If there are any other issues let me know cuz I'm gonna probably buy this one :)
            But what do u think which phone is the best?
            Z1 compact
            LG G2
            Nokia lumia 1020
            or myb some other? Let me know! Thanks :)

              Have recently picked myself up one of these, and have to say it's by far the best Android phone I've used.

              The external speaker sound isn't as good as the HTC One/mini, and it's a fingerprint magnet, but my Nexus 5 battery would be between 25-30% by now, and the Z1 compact is sat at 70%. The quality of phone calls is better, and the device fits perfectly in the hand.

              I can't honestly see me buying another Android phone while this one lasts. It's perfect.

                      I have S3, S4, S5, Alcatel, Motorola smartphone. Before I have bought also SONY smartphone but trade in because of the WiFi channel uncovered to all.
                      2 weeks ago I have bought Z1 Compact and overall I love it especially on the design.
                      last week upgrade from Jelly Bean to KitKat then the shit is coming, I have a problem on Microsoft Exchange Synch Active. Reset so many time but the problem still unsolved. I should listen to the forumers comment on this shit..
                      Now I hate this Sony. You are not ready with KitKat but why do you announced this bloody shit..
                      Now switch back to using S5 -
                      Samsung never giving problem, the most reliable smartphone in the world.

                        random_user, 08 Jun 2014I don't know why this myth persists. Modern battery syst... moreYes google it and see that it holds true, and it has not improved but gotten worse as manufacturers have continued to increase the min and max voltages of li-ion batteries. According to the leading site a 4.35v max voltage battery will have lost more than 50% capoacity after only 200 cycles, that number used to be 30% after nearly 500 charges.

                        What you are saying may hold true for batteries of electric cars, but there you will find something interesting, and that is that those batteries have only half the energy density, they use a stronger substarte and dont charge to nearly as high voltages, and that way they can now last 10 years and 6000 recharge cycles.

                        Also familiarize youRself with ions, which are basically just positive charged Lithium atoms, and those are huge compared to elementary particles like electrons, very huge, and they are the electricity carriers inside a li-ion battery and has to go from the anode to the cathode and back for each charge/recharge cycle. This cause swelling on the side that the ions are on when you charge to 100 and discharge to zero, swelling and contracting over and over again, causing cracks in the grids and thats permanent damage.

                        The way the development is going now we should expect 2015 batteries in smartphones to be changed every 3 months, but the simple solution is to never charge full or drain empty, easy. This is also what professor Valoen says, he is the worlds number one authority in battery technology/research and you are not.

                              BABAK, 09 Jun 2014on earphone yes its great but on its loud speaker no. Actually i m planning to buy z1c over LG g2 and HTC one mini 2 bt worried about it's music.. I don't care about Loud speaker.. Bt d performance with d earphones matters d most. I heard so much that Xperia flagship's audio with earphones is very quiet n mild. Currently m using Sony Ericsson neo v which may not sound as clean as z1c bt loudness n punchiness is very good. With earphones My phone's music performance is as good as live with walkman...

                                  Pluto, 08 Jun 2014What colour is best for this? Black or whitei own black but white one is better as it shows scratches less than the black one on the back panel but if you use protector so the black one is so fashionable
