      My experience with z3 compact was extremely bad.. i had it last summer,i had to choose between it and the Z3 so i thought i should get the Z3 compact coz i don't like big phones! and when i bought it actually it was fast and everything was great until one day i decided to go for a walk -for you who don't know Dubai is extremely hot in summer comparing to Egypt- i opened the camera took one pic, just one! and i couldn't touch the phone anymore it was burning hot! and i thought may be coz the weather is too hot so when i came back to Egypt and used it, i had the same problem even in winter then the screen began to come out! started from an edge and got bigger every day and when i asked other people about it they said they had the same problems, so i decided to sell it.. i'm a Sony user but i'm not happy with that phone at all, though my mom has Z1 my sis has Z5 my friend has Z3 and they all are happy with their phones.. so i guess the problem is with the Z3 compact .. Don't get it!!!

        My experience with my z3 compact was bad from the beginning to the end. Since day one, the sim and microSD plastic flaps where a problem. Closing properly was not possible. Then I had a touchscreen malfunction. Sent it to assistance and they replaced the screen (warranty). When I decided to sell it (last week), I realized the sim plastic tray was broken, so had to replace it before selling. My z3 compact never fell down or had any accident, so it was very hard to accept eveything. Going to nexus 5x and, probably, never going back to sony. Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment.

              Is it worth to buy this phone now compared to Z5C ? Any really significant issues faced for this phone in general & not just by a single user ?

                My z3 compact one year and one month has a defective screen. Started at small and now got bigger. Seem that its dying slowly. Been monitoring this using the diagnostics > test > touchscreen and the dead pixel started at the upper side has now going down. Im very disappointed. Thought that i will have this for more than 2 years up :-(

                  AnonD-463920, 31 Jan 2016When using the phone outside, in sunlight, blue dots appear... moreIt is digitizer. This is normal and can be seen with other phones also - depends of the display type.

                    The phone is amazing,it does get a bit warm but only when you play a high demanding game or something like that,the camera is good but not really good in low-light situations,it performs like an S6,but maybe even quicker and overall it is a solid performer

                        Doe it heat very much? Or it just gets warm? What is thev average temp it reches while playing games, movies, heavy usage, etc. And frankly r the heating issues true?

                          Anonymous, 03 Feb 2016hey guys..want to buy this z3c soon..is it worth in 2016??? I think yes it is worth. I did it after using ip5s and blackberry passport and I am very satisfied. Fast, compact, good Camera and pretty balanced android. And this days also very good price. If you doesnt need fingerprint i dont think so you need to throw money for Xperia z5c.

                            hell no...wait until z5c drops in price and get it

                                        I have this phone about 1 Month, before that I had S5 mini. Z3C is much better and faster compared to Samsung which become pretty lagy after after only few months of usage, but there are some stuff which frustrate me in comparing to S5 mini. For instance, stupid unnecessary information which constantly occupy lock screen and can not be turned off. Idiotic gallery which can not be opened as default in folder view but it always open in "All content" and mix pictures from different sources like Viber, etc. which is quite stupid. On screen navigation buttons are very non ergonomic, occupy part of screen in most applications and in some cases they are hidden and it is sometimes problem to perform fast navigation, return to home or start task manager (in camera mode for instance). No usable weather widget, so you must search for 3rd party solution which is not an easy task, finally I somehow settled with Amber weather which seems most informative and least irritant. You can not perform infinite swipe on main screen, so I tend to keep minimal number of home screens. Earphone output volume is to low for my taste. Buit-in email app has stupid way of handling with image reduction size (main reason why I despite gmail app), on samsung when you select multiple images and send by email, he once asks me for picture reduction (small/mid/full) and apply this settings for all selected images, on Sony this works in much more stupid way, sony asks me constantly for image reduction for each image. And If I select "always", than he will make same image reduction for all mails in a future, I must to dig deep in to menu to change that option. Irt seems that all app which I used on Samsung is made to be more stupid and non-ergonomic on Sony, only good side is that it is not laggy as Samsung apps. But hey, I had lot of complains on Samsung also, this is the reason why I sell it at the end.
                                        BTW, seems that OTG is not functioning after Lolipop update, Sony WTF you done?
