        I purchased the phone sometime around the end of '14 and start of '15. I eventually installed cyanogenmod on it and ever since I've had no issues whatsoever. I am now using a custom LineageOS rom and the phone works great. The battery lasts around 3 days with light use, 1.5 days with moderate use and 24 hours with heavy use. The battery is such in good shape due to the fact that I stripped the useless Sony software included in the phone which was using up cpu cycles. Overall I will continue to use this phone until the end of 2017 and then I will try something else.

                      Hello. Bought Z3C in 2015. After almost a year, the touchscreen slowly became unresponsive. I got the problem resolved as the handset was under warranty. But yet another 1.5 years later, the same problem has begin to occur again. Now I don't even have any warranty. This is annoying. I'm switching to another brand (namely Motorola Moto Z Play). I was like a die-hard fan of Sony but not anymore. I wanted to use Z3C for a long time.
                      I'd highly recommend that you don't buy Sony Xperia Z3 Compact whether new or used.

                                  I bought this phone early 2014. After 1yr and 8months dead touchscreen and loudspeaker problems. Luckily i took 2yrs extended warranty. Sent to repair then now same touchscreen problem happen. Now im typing using mouse thru otg cable. I decide not to send for repair coz i know it will happen again (based on what i read in forum and user comments)

                                      After 2 years in love with z1c, an hard crash brokes the motherboard, so I decided to buy z3c to continues the quality of the brand.
                                      Bad luck: after 1 days the touch misses a line, after 3 days the screen cracked itself only putting the phone on its docking. Guarantees doesn't cover the display substitution. I ordered one replacement screen. The components inside are too compact and the flex cable forces the dispaly to detach from the sticker. After few days the display shows random white lines due to flex's compression. I ordered the second replacement that come with a fault touch screen. After a month, the first dispaly replacement is cracked again, only keeping the phone inside the pocket. The touch screen stops to work when the front glass is cracked, it is a very very bad feature, in case of emergency you can't use your phone and you can't switch off.
                                      My old z1c get an hard life, a lot of falling without cover, water, cold and hot, travels, high cpu usage, gaming, etc... Also the camera (exact the same hardware) seems to works with better quality in z1c (too much noise, bad focus). However the 120 fps of z3c is wonderful.
                                      So I'm very disappointed about this decadence of quality to follow an extreme design. I don't think to pursue Sony products if they continue to product worse phone at each generation.
