People either buy what they like, phones with the latest specs, or what they can afford or what suits them best. But whatever phone u buy can never be the best. The iphone 6 plus bends. some Samsung users complain about Touchwiz or the lack of premium build quality in their phones until the Note 4 and the Alpha came out and I personally think Samsung did a great job in making their phones look good this year. And yet there are some who will complain about battery life. Others are having an iOS v/s android war. The thing is...With every device u buy there's always a "give/take." U cant have it all. Unless someday, someone will build a phone the exact way u want it !!
I have used the iphone and an HTC M7 before switching to the sony xperia z3. What I personally liked about the Sony Xperia z3 dual is that the battery life is outstanding on this phone. I can get by a day and a half easily before I run out of juice. I have had no problems with Android except for a persistent downloading document notification when i receive attachments in my e mail. That could be an software issue. So that leaves us with hardware. Yes the back of the phone is made of glass. And it's not Gorilla glass. But isn't glass supposed to break when dropped onto the floor? Plastic / Metal would have solved that. But hey atleast it's water resistant. I always use a case and screen protector on all my phones so that when i sell/exchange it for an upgrade, the phone is still in mint condition and there are no dents or cracks or scuffs. I realise that some people dont want to cover their phones up and want to flaunt it about. In that case u could go for some minimalistic protection like aluminium bumpers that will protect the aluminium frame around the Z3. And there's also the Nillkin tempered glass screen and back protectors that u can use on both sides of the phone for some extra protection. Surely there are ways to protect ur phone no matter what brand, from accidental drops and breakages.

    I have been using it for over two months. No lag, jam or hang. Apps run smoothly. Battery performance superb ! LTE worked smoothly but drained battery faster than usual 3G/HSDPA. Camera / images quality above others. Top of the top. I doubt other brands can defeat the camera performance. Specially when u combine with QX30. Killer beast pocket camera. One thing that really really dissapointing alot is Sound ! when i plugged headset both Apple Iphone5 earpod or Sennheiser Headset i have, Z3Dual better and have quite deep bass compare to HTC model i have, but seriously Sony needs to improve on the high range frequency response. High frequency gone resulting in unclear voice / songs performance.

          There is no such a perfect phone ...all of them if u read all the reviews in other sites u will find out what i mean...those reviewers have high rating on those phone with one gb of ram than those with 3 gb of ram...is this correct? there is also comparison of built in camera that the other is been focus poorly just to try to please who paid them to destroy the reputation of the other cp....
          i have the latest 3 of the high end cp of the 3 most popular cp..and this Z3 top them all...

              We have bought 10 cellphons. After two weeks, 2 of them have broken back glass. Both of them broke because of the quick change of temperature. Hot phone connected with cold surface and vibrations = broken back glass.
              One cell my friend put on cold car leather seat.
              I have run from warm flat to bus (outside temperature about 0 C degree). 50 meters run. The part of the phone witch was outside my pocket had broke.

                                    1. i think so. But u can call your network and ask them if charges apply for call forwarding.

                                    2. Yes you still need to activate call forwarding to either sims even if they are from the same network carrier. This is because when u are on a call on sim 1, sim 2 goes into standby. if at that time someone calls u on sim 2 then unless call forwarding is activated u will not know who's been trying to reach u.

                                    3. No i dont think there are any dual sim active phones from sony. But u can confirm that from their official website.

                                        if call forwarding been used. and I got call on sim2, while call some trying to reach me on sim 1, it should give a ringtone and notify me about the caller. this is what has been committed by Sony.

                                        my questions:

                                        1- if I hold the call and pickup the 2nd call. this will be chargeable? (network carrier charge for call forward)
                                        2- if sim 1 & sim 2 is same network carrier, so still need call forwarding to recieve calls on sim2 while having call on Sim1?
                                        3- Any model in Sony got Dual-Active-Active?
