        Miguel (Portugal), 10 Dec 2015dont listen to bad reviews here. sony competitors are PAI... moreyes i also use this phone,and for some reasons,some comments are negative,but i did not experience any of those issues.maybe the other comments are true regarding the copy of the products.

          I too was in a complete denial commenting here about how durable it is, well, until mine broke in the same way, yesterday.

          The first long line crack appeared on the back glass about 2 months ago and I had put on a back plastic cover ever since. Then yesterday it dropped down on a semi-rocky soil from a small height and the glass is now completely shattered and appears as a web in shape. How disappointing!

          For those who are arguing about fake/original copies, I do not believe. As it is happening with the original Sony that I have. I called up customer care and they suggested that it will cost me Rs. 3,500 (INR) for the glass and Rs. 750 (INR) for the micro sd water resistant flap to replace, which of course is an insane amount!

          I am not considering another Sony unless it is for a whole metal one. Beware guys!

I have always loved Sony stuff, but recently everything has problems which they refuse to admit to. My phone is genuine - so no it doesn't have to be a 'cheap copy' as some are saying - but both the front and rear screens cracked unmolested while sitting on a table. This is after one of the 'water resistant' covers for inputs wouldn't stay closed. Both of these things are my fault according to Sony, who came to that conclusion before having in their own hands (via 2 photos) that there was damage which caused these things. There apparently is no systemic issue with screens or water leakage, despite the 10s of thousands of victims of virtually identical problems.

            The phone internals are great, but the finishing and after-sales is complete bullshyte. Lift your game Sony!

Also, if you are afraid, get some silicone cover protection for your phone and you will be fine. JUST BUY ORIGINAL... according to these comments many people buy cheap-ass copy's and that makes me sad. Sony get negative rating and comments only cos people are trying to save some small amount of money.

                      I was a happy owner of z3c for about six months until one morning a very strange thing happened. I put the phone on charge and, as I was walking away, I heard a peculiar sound similar to static electricity discharge. I thought I didn't plug the charger properly so I took it out but the noise continued. I took a closer look at the device and as I flipped it around I saw a web of cracks growing on the back screen. That's what produced the sounds.

                      Quick online research (https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=sony+z3c+self+clacked+glass) showed that indeed Z, Z1 and Z3 are all sufferring from self cracking glass, although, in most cases, it manifests itself as a single crack that crosses through the screen.

                      As if this wasn't bad enough, the response from Sony was a firm denial. No amount of online evidence made a difference and in the end I had to pay to get the phone fixed. I paid 72 pounds for what was undeniably their fault!

                      So there you have it. Not only this phone can start falling apart any minute (I was lucky it happened at home; some ended up walking down the street with their pockets full of shattered glass) but on top of that it will be YOUR fault.

                      P. S.
                      If anyone from Sony is interested, here the repair order number: 1-22263764435

                          Well mine stopped working today! Seems it is not water resistant after all!!! Took a few pics underwater yesterday, there is water inside this morning. Let's see what Sony say to avoid fixing under warranty.

                            This is a GREAT phone! I am super satisfied. Job well done, Sony. Underrated mobiles overall. Looks sweet, quality hardware, performs fantastic.

                            My 2 cents: It would be great with a hardware-qwerty of 2016. Aspen, but not at all a Aspen (with suckade). In Nokia E72-style. Thanks!

                                  dont listen to bad reviews here.
                                  sony competitors are PAID to post bad reviews and opinions here to avoid people from buying!

                                  i bought this phone a year ago in December 2014!
                                  i DID NOT bought online! i bought it ona physical Store! CAREFULL with online shopping!
                                  MY review?
                                  it's the best phone i've ever had and possibly the best phone sony has ever made under 5" size. i dare to say its the best smarthphone under 5" on the market!

                                  the new Z5 compact compared to the Z3 compact is big of a revolution... trust me..
                                  my friends envy my phone!

                                  its beautifull and fast and its unlocked too all networks ( more expensive at the time)
                                  its heats up lil bit its true but its still a awesome phone!

                                  Try it! you wont want anything else!

                                        Shoud I go for it ? I wanted to wait for Z5 compact but it has not been realeased in my country yet & will possibly be costly. My current phone is giving many problems & i won't be able to wait much longer. So, shoud I for Z3 Compact ?
