Since there's no dedicated thread for the Z1 Compact I figured I'd start one.
My main question is: Has anyone seen any price predictions?
Will be interesting to see just how similar they are on the inside, I'm guessing very!
549euro... But it's not sure
inviato da Note 3
It's pretty much the perfect phone IMO - apart from the frame... Something about it makes it look a little bit cheap-ish. I might change my opinion once I hold and try it in my own hands.
Too bad I just bought Z1 a couple of months ago.
Official price... 499 euro
inviato da Note 3
My new phone :laugh:
499 on preoder means 450 on the web. Perfect size, high end hardware, top quality build, sd card nfc and so on... Unlocked by sony as usual and well known hardware for custom rom
pretty enthusiast, go sony :good:
I think the Z1 Compact is a great phone. Smaller body, big specs.
But do you think it is a bit of a downgrade if a Z1 will be exchanged to a Z1 Compact due to screen size and battery? Just asking.
Should the screen of the Z1 Compact is very good compared than Z1 then that's a bit of sad for Z1 owners but nonetheless Z1 is a great phone and every owner of Z1 knows it right?
i saw somewhere around the netz that the z1 compact will have actually a bit better battery life than z1 simply coz biggest battery drainer in daily use is the screen.
cant wait for this one to come available, the white one looks so beautiful, i avoided the z1 for the size, and z1 compact is almost the size of my ex-phone .. arc s.
time to move sooon

Sony started a new trend, with the popularity the Z1 compact is getting im pretty sure the other manufacturers WILL start making mini flagships with high end specs, starting with Samsung

So glad, I've been waiting with buying the S4 Active, I mean awesome one everyone who has it is happy with it, but I need a HANDY not with some multimedia capabilities, not the other way around and 5' just is too big for me.
Thankfully Sony realized, that Mini doesn't need to be lesser it just mean SAME product in a smaller frame and that's essentially what they've done. Would have been nice to have a 1080p but other than that, really no complains great product. Heres hoping - yes I'm hinting at you Samsung - are going to follow suit with the S5 Mini/Compact.
Hopefully this is a trend and we are finally seeing the return to more handylike "Smartphones" and maybe an Androidphone with a QWERTZ keyboard. Let's hope this thing is selling well, so other developers are going to follow.
For such a high quality product 499 isn't too much.
Ordered it yesterday, it will be an awesome device!

+1 for that, I'm really impressed and glad to see Sony being the first one to realize that not everybody wants a >5" screen. I confess to you guys that after seeing every major brand going with huge screens I was starting to consider switch to iPhone. It's a relief to see the Xperia z1 compact "borning" and now I'm waiting anxiously it start selling in Brazil. Kudos to you Sony, well done.
Xperia Z1 can support that large battery because it is large phone. Z1 Compact is smaller phone there is no place for that large battery. But 2300Mah is HUGE (and best) for a phone with 4.3 inch so..no worries here friends. Also since smaller screen and res it will consume less power. The big Xperia Z had this 2300Mah battery capacity!!!
As for a display 1080p to 720p it's nothing. I've seen both Xperia T and Xperia Z. Compared screen res...the same.
Conclusion: It is not a downgrade it's the same only in different sizes. I have a hard time choosing size now. :/
Edit: Oh, and Z1 Compact screen is improved in terms of contrast and viewing angle compared to Z1.

Great to know, I thought that the only change was on size and resolution, could you please explain why contrast and viewing angles was improved?
About the other specs, I agree with you that's it's not a exactly a downgrade since it doesn't seem technically possible to fit a bigger battery or a 1080p resolution screen on such a small phone. If you compare with HTC one mini or galaxy s4 mini (both 4.3") have 1.800 and 1.900mAh only.

Now that the Z2 has been fully revealed, I was wondering how many Z1 owners were thinking of switching to the Z2 once it comes out. Both are so similar specs wise that for some it wouldn't make sense to make the leap.
For me, I'm probably going to stay with the Z1. The display is the only thing drawing me to the Z2 but I can't justify paying so much money just for better viewing angles. The rest of the software features like 4K recroding and tap2wake are going to be ported to the Z1 officially or through the devs so the gap between the Z1 and Z2 will be very small.
Thoughts?
note: This is only for people thinking about getting the Z2, and not another phone
The Z2 is a good choice for those who are coming from other brands.
I think it's not worth to sell our Z1 and get the Z2 (well if you want to always have the latest phone, go) as spec wise there is little improvement on the hardware. Lets wait for Z3 and see what it will offer.
Currently happy with my Z1, just the camera brings disappointment. Peace

Hell no. I don't see any major upgrades that could justified the change.

Well I was thinking about this too and here is my opinion: SONY has huge problems with phone overheating starting from S, Z, Z1 .. Almost all the phones have small defects for example camera button is very loose and it's a bit hard to take a picture without handshake on keypress, then my volume button became very strange it's like going to fall of, when I slightly press on it it feels like it was outside and then returned to its position, I mean that SONY has to think about build quality rather than releasing new flagship twice a month But from the other side there are no normal phones, I was thinking of Nexus 5 and G2 but I didn't like G2 UI and Nexus 5 Camera because it takes strictly 4:3 ... And as usual I'll say that I wont buy SONY again but probably will buy SONY
Sony makes new flagships all the time... perhaps i will wait a couple of flagships before i buy another one
No way! I have to keep my money for nearly a year to get Z1. LOL. I'm very happy with Z1 tho, it's a decent device. There are a lot of proud and pride for having this device. Z2 don't have too big differences compares to Z1 tho, I think stick with Z1 and wait for new generation of Z family (perhaps Z3 or Z4) will be the best choice

i will probably wait for Z3, and if that thing doesnt have decent developer support after a month or two i am going with whatever nexus phone is out by then.
I'm thinking about it since the Z1s may or may not get root. There's a few people working on it. But, for me, I'm thinking of the possibility of us not getting root. I'd sell my Z1s to help by the global Z2. With the Z1s coming out about a month ago. Is it reasonable to ask for $500 or could I go higher?
Anybody know for sure whether or not the global phones will work on T-Mo USA's data bands?

Not Upgrading to a Z2, because,
1. I don't care about 4K, althoughit may be ported in the future. I hardly record video's in 1080P ...
2. Marginal Performance difference with a slightly faster Adreno 330 isnt. There is nothing available on the Playstore that needs more performance than a 2.15 Krait 400 with a 450 mhz Adreno 330 can deliver anyway.
3. Camera stuff will probably be ported in the future, even if it isn't I'm not fussed about it. It's just icing on the cake.
lol,
4. Don't care about Viewing angles because I look at my phon straight one, not at an awkward angle,
lol,
5. the pixel density is actually higher on the Z1, it's sharper,
6. another 200mah on the battery is a joke over he Z1's 3000mah ...
regards
Hey guys... no ASF on the Z2. I'll update later as to what type of glass. I'll be making plans on switching.

Agree with most of your points, but the display of the Z2 is a lot better than the Z1's. The loss of sharpness is negligible, but the new IPS screen tech is less washed out than the Z1's TFT screen.
They didn't even did something about those borders around the screen, OIS for camera or something that worth thinking about an upgrade. Small improvements compared to my beloved Z1. It's not worth buying a new flagship at least until a year or two.
Mine is two weeks old. So I wont buy a new one. I'm not a millionaire and I'm absolutly satisfied with this one!!!!

Not a chance.
I find it a waste to upgrade to the Z2 if you already own a Z1.
I think that the Z2 will be the perfect phone to upgrade to if you are coming from another OEM, or you are coming from an Xperia device from 2011/2012.
Our Z1 is more than up to the task and in time it will have a community comparable to the flagships that came before it, like the original Xperia flagship, the X10 :highfive:
So far though not official yet, according to GSMarena, the specs doesn't look too good at least for me to upgrade to the Z3. Base hardwarewise is basically the same... kind of dissapointed me
Unless they put some significant changes as Z1->Z2, i think this time i won't upgrade but maybe wait for the Z4

I probably will trade in my Z2 for a Z3 compact. That was the idea from the beginning. Needed a new phone but couldn't wait. So I bought the Z2 hoping by the time the Z3 got released someone would want to trade. And if not. Maybe I'll keep the Z2 or maybe I'll sell it and get the Z3c myself.
But a normal Z2 to Z3, nah for what!? My only problem with phones nowadays is the size. Way too large for normal use IMHO.

Next version of Android.
After the Z2/M8 I would get something with UHD not QHD and with 5.5-5.7inch screen without much bezel. The 805 is only good in the GPU department and even then 1440p/420 is equal to 1080p/330. So my next phone might be iPhone 7 or Z5-Z7
Nope, Z2 is a very good phone for me. Z3 has not much extra's

My thoughts are exactly the same, if I gonna switch it, it's gonna be for z3 compact only,
but not sure yet, have to see what does z3c offers over z2 except size-wise
With Sony's 6 month release cycle it's pretty hard to keep up especially if they are just making nominal and incremental changes. If they go with the 2k screen they better up the batter from the z2.
I'm going to be staying with the z2. Just found it after almost the entire year trying out other phones and I'm loving it.

Nope.
Only slightly faster CPU and uglier design IMO (love the design of stereo speakers and LED notification of Z2)
This time, no.

If Z3 doesn't have a 5.5 inch screen then I'll get the note 4
Sent from my Xperia Z1
The only new thing is the ''design'' xD. So Nooo thank you.Sticking to my Z2 <3 This 6 month cycle is a complete crap if you ask me :/
No Z3 for me if there is nothing new. For now Z2 has better design.
Not at all, mainly because right now I'm more keen to switch back to a Nexus device, and also the improvements from Z2 to Z3 shouldnt be too great a reason to make the upgrade.
IMHO, Z3 is mainly meant for "new" buyers that are coming from older Sony (Sony Ericsson) devices or other brands and they are intend to buy a flag ship this autumn/winter.
Of course, also those ones who must have the latest and newest are welcome
I'm staying with z2 for awhile
There hasn't been as much in the way of leaks as previous devices. I can only hope there's some amazing improvement we've not been told about.
Because for now it seems that it might be a bit more rounded at the edges, maybe have a smaller bezel and that's about it.
Wireless charging would be nice as a new addition, but otherwise what could a Z2 possibly get that would make a swap worthwhile?
I realise I said that with the Z2 over the Z1 but it turned out the screen was a lot better, physically bigger and the front facing speakers a massive leap. So all the must have changes have already happened.

This!
Actually if one year from now and still not much has changed I'd even stay put then. There aren't many phones that appeal to me like the Z2. It's downright sexy, screen is now tolerable with the viewing angles and it is just the right size for me. All I would personally change is either 32/64 internal as my games are a few gigs and an amoled screen. I just got too used to the oversaturation of them.
while most of you know that Xperia Z3 just announce I have already seen some of them want to dump their Xperia Z for Z3 well here is to tell you why not to do that just yet till a better phone is out, while most of you have hear the upcoming of Oppo and One Plus One which has some killer specs and it is selling as quite cheap I still have chose not to get it here is why Xperia Z is a wonderful device I got it 1 day before Z1 was due to be out yes sadly but Im happy not to get it not forgetting the bootloader unlock causing the camera not to work etc I'm not really a fan of Stock ROM cause I have been using cyanogenmod since Samsung Galaxy S2 (yes Exynos) even Sony Stock isnt that bad in terms of its wonderful Stamina Mode wish it got ported over to CyanogenMod/OmniROM (Android L has some new battery saver its okay) anyway I strongly believe our device wont be getting Android L due to the 18 Month crappy support never less I believe Open Source Community will find a way to bring the goodness to our phone *hint* Android L AOSP
If you feel you want to get a new cell/phone I suggest taking time to look around for something like 4GB RAM And Snapdragon 805 Above which I believe may be quite soon maybe around 6months - 1 year also keep a look out for Oppo/One Plus One as it is quite cheap and they team up with Cyanogen to pretty much bring some of the best flagship phone without burning to much $ from your pocket (if you feel you need to replace your phone at once)
I wish I did gotten a one plus one but hey my Xperia Z is Running OmniROM/CyanogenMod what more can I ask for
Anyone know how to enable "quick pulldown" from CyanogenMod to Z3?
I really like CyanogenMod but the Sony OS is also pretty cool. Stamina mode, camera and also the multitasking! Why isn't anyone talking about that?

According to my experience, XZ is still the best Xperia after XZ2.. Z3 still isn't out yet, so i omitted it out.. And the fw's, we had a flawless 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 was decent and 4.4.4 is the best ROM XZ got from Sony.. They have given enough already and about Android L, i suggest keep the device and enjoy AOSP/CM12 or whatever they are gonna name it.. I am sure XDA devs are gonna give it to us.. I am on the process of learning development too, hope to give something to XZ before giving it away.. And i still don't find any reason to give up my XZ and upgrade to XZ2 or XZ3.. My needs are easily fulfilled..
I don't like CyanogenMod tbh and I only like Sony stock roms which is why I'm looking at the Z3 I have had the XZ since launch so you know time for a change
I suggest NOT to buy any of Sony phones because of very many dead displays, buggy firmwares (even 4.4.4 have problems with sound, stamina), high temperature of back panel and the worst service
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would prefer sony for the beautiful stock Rom . I got xz as soon as it got released. Now it's only half the price. Next time, I would consider buying a cheaper phone. Xiaomi mi4/mi5
Looking at the past couple years I have found the phones released at the start of the year to be the better products from Sony and the ones released in September to be merely improvements and tweaks.
Also there is the future potential of the 64 bit processors like Snapdragon 810 which are expected to be used in flagship handsets next year as so far only Samsung has used the 805 chip in the Note 4.
Things like 4GB ram are useless in a phone except for professionals that have any use for that from a development standpoint. It is a phone afterall.
The Xperia Z is a great handset and meets all the needs for a smartphone. I am happy to wait longer for the next brilliant device to come along.

Rumors are its QHD, I hope not because they did the same with the G3 and it took a big hit in battery life compared to the G2, for not much gain in visual quality, not to mention increased heat due the display causing overheating.

And QHD is basically useless as far as I can tell on a smartphone screen (even at 6"). Our eyes can only distinguish so much.

I myself was thinking about z2 over z3, but the z3 was made to cover up all the bads of z2
Screen brightness what i saw on z2 wasn't anything special, it's much brighter on z3
Speakers are louder
Sleeker body, aluminium frame
Better snapdragon 801 chip
And much more
The only downgrade i found out was i cannot write with a pencil on the z3
Coming from the z ultra, i had considered both Z2 and z3. I know much of the new things are software enhancements only and will likely go down to the z2 as well.
However I decided on the z3 because it looks and feels so much nicer

Upgraded from Z1 to Z3 seems a better deal than Z2 to Z3. The specs of 2 and 3 are so similar!!!
I am still using my Z1 btw because I rooted my Z1 to allow me to move stuff to SD cards, now waitjng for easy 1click ways to root Z3
I also upgraded from z2 to z3. I wouldnt really upgrade tbh if my contract would not end few weeks ago, and I can really tell that it is a little upgrade only on paper. Phone looks and feels much better, its thinnier and lighter, and rounded sides make holding it more comfortable. I could not live without root so I unlocked a bootloader and rooted it, and camera is still good enough for me. The only thing that pisses me of is that ps4 remote play doesnt work with unlocked bootloader
