              I'll try my best not to buy any phones from sony anymore. Not functioning notif bars and bottom buttons are extremely frustrating. Im happy for just 1 and a half year

                Too all Sony Xperia Z3 compact owners do not be fooled by Sony's waterproof advertisements as all of it is a farce. Sony's legendary durability has sadly faded away, and my deceased Xperia Z3 Compact is a sign of the decline in quality of Sony's mobile devices. If you want your Xperia to last then don't use it in the rain. I regret buying this phone.

                  Dipsy, 26 Aug 20161- It costs Rs. 33600/ 2- Within 2 months it became dead ... moreSounds familiar.
                  After 3 months - changed motherboard, but on warranty.
                  After another 6 months - screen (digitalizer) not functioning - phone replaced on warranty.
                  Repair and replacement free, however I had to buy a 'replacement' phone while in repair at almost the same cost as the Z3 due to long repair time! This in Malaysia.

                    2- Within 2 months it became dead
                    3- Sony took 3 weeks to change motherboard in Jaipur
                    4- Within one year of changing motherboard touch screen gone kapoot
                    5- Sony asks Rs. 10000/ to repair
                    6- So within two years it costed Rs. 43600/
                    7- It also proves that mobile brand like Sony can't work continues smoothly even for a year
                    8- At any given moment of working hours one can spot at least 50 Sony mobile consumers to sort out their handset problems at Sony's service center in Jaipur, that also proves that there is some quality problem with Sony.

                        Always always always do a "FACTORY RESET/RESTORE" every Major Firmware Update!!!!

                        I'm having problems after updating my Z3 Compact to Marshmallow and of course I always Factory Reset.

                          we are not getting android 7.

                              niv's right. Since 6.0.1 update battery drain is a constant problem thus I had to buy a portable charger. Even if I only listen to music, it drains rather fast.

                                Hi all!
                                I'm a huge Sony fan, and I love this phone, but I don't understand how you all can say that camera is great and battery last 2 days...
                                Even being a 20Mp, compare to some other 15mp cameras by other famous brands, I expected way more than that (there's always a light grain/disturb in the pic).
                                About the battery, I don't know you guys but aftet the last update it barely last a day...if I used for a few hours for navigate or write emails it drain extremely fast!!
                                I would love if any of you could share with me their settings to reach best quality picture with the camera and longest battery life.
                                Thanks a lot, enjoy!

                                    Phone is great but do not update it to 6.0.1 as it's causing battery drain issue.

                                      Hello everyone!

                                      I have this phone from September 2014 it's almost 2 years and I have to say that is a brilliant phone. Actually I have a iPhone 6s and a iPhone 5s as a company phone and couse the Sony z3 compact was such a solid phone I've just keep it.

                                      I've seen a lot of critics about this phone and I will share my experience with it.

                                      I've updated it to Android 6.0.1 and the battery still rocks, 2 days of hard use until I need to recharge it. As a fact I don't use 4G network, I stayed with 3G settings, and mobile data allways on.

                                      From the first days of use i've buyed pempted glass for the screen and also for the back pannel. I also use Ringke Fusion cover for protection. I've droped the phone accidentally 2-3 times from my pocket and nothing happened.

                                      The camera 20.7 MP is really good, the only backstab is the selfie camera wich is a shame :) blurry photos, low quality.

                                      I bought the phone from Romania, Orange network and was blocked in the network, one year aho I've buyed an unlock code from the internet and I've used it also on Vodafone network and Digi Mobil network, all is working with no errors.

                                      I've also tried the water resistant and if you drop it in water for 2-3 minutes or If you are talking on the rain all is ok. I've also changed the accesory from the charger port couse after 1,5 years of use it didn't fit well and water could enter from there...

                                      I really recommend this phone for any small smartphone...

                                        Phones malfunction (unable to on the phone) within first year. another malfunction few months later. and 2 more consecutive malfunction within 1 and a half year. Total 4 times of repair one month plus for each repair. Worst ever compact sony phone. Never gonna buy sony again.
