I bought this device for 43,000 INR on EMI(the green one). I liked it very much. But within 7 months the phone stopped working, so they changed the mother board and it started working again.....but again after around 7 months the screen started to come out on its own. Now the phone is no more dust and water proof.. :( ....total expense to repair it and for making it water proof again is 10,500 INR.
This screen adhesive problem is so common in Z3 compact. This phone is not up to the mark according to price. How can it qualifies to be a high end smart phone if people have to get it repaired every 6 or 7 months

Definitely will change, and my earphone jacks are down which is a bummer. Won't let it fix since I'm planning to buy a new one.

Quite disappointed. I have been a Sony fan for 6 years now. My Z3 compact 21 MP camera just died and the screen black. If you turn on the flashlight it won't go off unless you restart the phone. Apparently it's a common problem from Sony support forums but without a solution. My next phone will definitely be an iPhone.

Jjj, 01 Apr 2016Can you explain about the manual mode settings(like iso)to ... moreU will have to read about it on net & look at videos to understand because there are different settings for different scenes.
But Generally, high iso is used to for low light but that can increase the noise too. So, U have to find the optimal settings.
Increasing EV[exposure value] can also increase the light in the image.
If the object U are shooting is not moving then use HDR mode.
All manual controls are available in 8mp resolution which is generally enough. But if U are going to use zoom then high suggest U use higher mps.
Also, try 3rd party apps as well. There are many good one like Better camera, Camera mx, FV-5 & google camera.

I love a good durable flagship phones, and this is one of them.
Used to have the z1c but that has been used and lasted with me for almost 2 years till it battery became trashy... So I switched to this phone and I'm liking it so far except I noticed the internal 16g of storage had became insufficient with the apps and their growing sizes with each update as well the data being stored while using them on the long run, and now I keep getting the notification of internal memory 75%!!!
Sony is considering this over noticed in their new line ups of the z5, still they need to provide bigger internal storages to cope up.
Hmm, the other thing is that I've noticed was the durability of Sony products, let's say after using the phone about 2 years or so it becomes useless and junk then you'll have to go for another new device, but for my iPhone 5s noticed it's still having strong durability than sony and lasting longer with me than other phones.
Really would love from Sony to make phones with high quality that could last longer and longer rather than end up in trash...
