Compact smartphone with full flagship spec!
Sony is currently the only manufacturer to offer a compact/mini smartphone which has pretty much the same performance as their full-size flagship, unlike HTC and Samsung where the spec is cut down if you opt for their mini models. I bought a Z3 Compact as soon as they became available (late September) for £350, and the price has dropped further since. Given the spec similarities with the iPhone 6, only a dedicated Apple follower would fork out the extra 200 quid. Regarding the Quick Settings, the options which appear can be changed by using the Edit button. I also bought the well-designed Gel Shell Plus case by Roxfit (whose cases are certified by Sony) which gives excellent all-round proection.
Having used the Z3 Compact for more than 2 months now, I am still very pleased with it - no regrets at all in choosing this phone. The performance and battery life are excellent. Anyone looking for a great Android phone that fits nicely in the hand should give the Z3 Compact some serious consideration.
