Xperia Z3

AlexD333 · 29-07-2015, 20:11

After living with a samsung S3 for 2 years and loving it I decided to take the plunge to a Z3 in January...

Its a cracking phone, very clever.. too clever really... too many gadgets, completely customisable, no sheep features like an Iphone (my pet hate)

BUT...

It does have its niggles....

Shows internet signal but occasionally will not do anything..
Manufacture apps occasionally freeze including photos ect.
tilt function has become sketchy... making porn watching hard on the eyes

and general misbehaviour of the phone...

So a courier picked it up today after following threes steps and sonys steps..

Its now gone to the Sony repair center.. Time will tell!!

Good luck with it, im still struggling on with the S3. Will have to wait until project terrano is finished before I can buy an iphone

I was offered an S6 at the preferential rate of a fiver a more than I'm currently paying by my operator.
I passed.

I got a Z3 but apart from being waterproof and the camera I preferred my old HTC one.
I still can't post a photo to this site straight from phone .

The galaxy was second to none though.. not as many gadgets but damn reliable

That tilt function issue you say you have could make you go blind.
Mate of mine said he was going to keep watching it till he needed glasses then he would give it up.

My mate had the z2 had to send it back to sony like 3 times.
