robertkoa, 01 Oct 2014Yes, I was referring to the Speakerphone of Z3 Compact and... moreGsmarena actually rated the audio output as very good. And I can tell you now that there fairly good. But I think people are not reading the review correctly. Gsmarena said the loudspeaker volume is poor and when you have someone speaking on loud speaker is pathetic

    Trust me, z2 is too heavy, i have use that for a month, and i ditch it, everything is good, specs are good, just it is too harsh for one hand operation (even i have a above average size hand).

    Trust me, size does matter for your daily life, it's even smaller than iphone 6 almost 1cm shorter, i will buy Z3 compact very soon =)

          AnonD-111968, 14 Sep 2014The average volume is your complain, and u shamelessly comp... moreYes, I was referring to the Speakerphone of Z3 Compact and was reading the specs from GSM Arena Review.

          Now that I have seen some Youtube Videos of Z3 C and asked a few owners it seems the volume of the speakers is higher than the Review Specs.

          Maybe a pre production Z3 C was measured in GSM Review and the actual production Models are better ?

          Either way, the Z3 C volume of speakers seems to be very good , so will not be a problem if I buy one.

          Your point about Headphones volume is well taken, I think manufacturers keep volume lower to protect Hearing, but volume seems to depend on which headphones, some report loud volume, some say lower.

          Speakers on Z3C are said to be about like Z2 was, good volume ,not as full as HTC ONE M 8.

              Anonymous, 24 Sep 2014The only problem here is people are hyping some issues to c... moreI am not a " fan" of any one Brand .

              I am a fan of the features I need.

              Iphone 6 has a lot of great features and so does
              Z3 Compact.

              For me the Z3 C wins for being more pocket friendly , IPhone 6 is almost height of S4.

              IPhone 6 may have a better Camera for Still Photos and great Auto Modes.

              Z3 wins on battery life, twin speakers, and Price.

              Personally I like pocket sized Flagships and there's only 2 right now and I was hoping
              Alpha would be ( almost , in some ways ).

              Was hoping HTC would do one, or LG but no and IF the Xperia Z3 is popular, maybe we will see Alpha Pro or Note 4 Mini, HTC MINI 2 etc.

              But I am very happy I can get a Z3 C around $500

              which is very close to what I want.

              I hope Apple does well and everyone who wants a larger Flagship -you have way more choices.

              Small Flagships are very rare, just IPhone 6 and Z3 C that I know of, and both are excellent options IMO.

                Wait , it's your opinion of other people's intelligence.

                Wait, we are supposed to be talking about Phones and Features here, I forgot.

                Maybe it was NOT a good point you brought up ?

                Maybe that point should be on some Psychology
                or Intelligence Forum, or a Forum where everyone can assert and demonstrate that they are smarter or more correct than everyone else instead of staying on Topic.....

                Maybe a Junior High Superiority Forum ?

                I don't know, look into it.

                I bow to your Superiority...

                Might still buy a Z3 C , but I am going back on topic now.

                  AnonD-290096, 25 Sep 2014the z3 compact is tagged at 349GBP at the momentYes.

                  But on Clove UK , for example USA buyers pay no VAT.

                  So is about 289 GBP or about $ 500 including shipping to USA , great price really.

                  Lowest price on Galaxy S4 unlocked new is about $400 plus shipping....

My only reservation of buying Sony phones is the process of root. I don't like too complicated processes. And also losing features when rooted. That's a retarded thing. Void warranty is somewhat gotton used to but other things makes me think twice. Otherwise i so wanna but this phone. I will wait and observe the developing of this phone and then i will decide to but or not.

                                    I'm surprised its soo expensive in India, in UK, RRP is £420, but there are some retailers (e.g. Handtec, Mobicity) that are selling this sim free for £350 (approx. 35,000 INR).

                                    Can someone that has the Z3C provide some feedback on the battery and provide any other issues/concerns noted so far (e.g. whether it heats up etc).

                                    Many thanks!

                                      Root your phone, and buy Titanium Backup Pro, with that you can remove even system apps, and move whatever app you want to the sd card.
