So i'm going to buy the Xperia Z1 , but im scared that it heats up and it would have heating problems and other problems . should i go for it or not?
THANKS
Go for it, almost all the problems was solved with the FW .136 Update and with KitKat it will be much better. BTW there is no any Perfect phone on the market, all of them have + and -.
so heat problems were proved to be software problems? what about touchscreen . im afraid because in my country if it has minor problems like this ( They consider it minor ) they dont trade it for me. and why your phone is back to sony center @eclyptos ?
THANKS!

Yes, problem was solved by Software. I sent back my phone to Sony Center via warranty for Touch Screen issues but that was before the FW .136 was released. Many reported they do not have problem with the Touch Screen anymore after update to .136. So in few days my phone will be back and I will check what exactly they did, replaced the Touch Screen or just Updated the FW to .136.

I have my z1 for two month, sometimes I play asphalt 8 for two hours, the phone does warmup ofcourse it's no light game, but it's still comfortable to hold, defenetly not OVERHEAT.

It's an amazing device and probably the best one out there.
Do bare in mind that a lot of new devices are being released in March (after MWC) and new features as well an next generation CPU and GPU's will be implemented, so if you do have the money and don't mind waiting, maybe it is worth holding off till then.
Z1 has amazing performance, is waterproof and the camera can take astonishing pictures.
The screen has vibrant colors but the viewing angles are not great ( could be a no no for some). The external speaker is also a disappointment as it has waterproofing membranes.
I would advise you to read reviews online and see if that's the device for you. Other phones to consider would include (LG G2, Nexus 5, HTC One, Oppo Find 5,SGSIV, Note 3 etc). None of the devices available in the market is perfect, so you just have to choose the one that suits your usage best.
I have quite a few Z1 videos on my YouTube channel so if you have time, come and check them out.

Thanks all
If you looking over portability then go for Z1 Compact, if not then go for it...

Go for it!
it`s awesome at performance i had not really heating problems with OC and hard gaming like gta for hours
Of course it gets hot like every phone would at this specs but not that hot in my opinion at least.
I'm considering buying an Xperia Z but I've received many comments from friends who have that since the battery drain issue they have had a very bad experience with their mobiles. Are the workarounds working fine for you? if you had to choose again would you still buy this mobile? I need a mobile that is not as expensive and is reliable and excepting the battery issue this one looks really good, I'd really apreciate if you can give me your opinion on this matter.

Hey folks,
I am very interested what kind of Battery Life you, who are already owning this device, get.
I was searching the Web but didn't find anything useful at all. First Reviews that were made of pre-Series-Devices point in direction, that the Batterylife isn't on par with the Sony Xperia Z3. Maybe you guys have another Story to tell ?
PS: I'm sorry for my english. Nevertheless I hope you may understand what i tried to say
From my experience I have had a Z, Z1, Z2 and tomorrow a Z3+ the firat 2-3 fw will ne heavy on the battery but after that it ia ironed out and while I am not expecting a huge boost over my Z2(300mAh more) I do expect it to come back ans match it which for me is perfect.
So if you want a real review you better wait a month or so till the new firmwares are out

You're expecting a match though I have a Z2 as well. In my case, Z3+ certainly doesn't last as much as the Z2. I'm taking advantage of the brighter display on Z3+, so that makes the comparison a little harder. But still Z2 has a better battery life at this moment - I think.

Hey guys,
as my homebutton seems to break because sometimes it doesnt recognize my press im already looking for a successor. because i bought it over amazon im lucky if the device has a fault.
in germany there are quite often good deals for a import of the xiaomi redmi note 3 pro for about 165 euro ... despite the lack of usb type c this phone seems pretty good and its very cheap.
so... whats your next phone when the z1 is broken?
The note 3 looks like a major downgrade from the z1 in my opinion. And I plan on moving up if anything happens, to get the zuk z2, it seems to have amazing specs at an unbeatable price from what I've read. So I'll wait for the international version.
note that i ment the note 3 pro ... the only downgrade i see is:
micro usb against usb type c
32gb against 64gb internal
will never buy a ZUK again ... yeah, the z2 might have great specs but the z1 has great specs too. but quality issues and missing pressure against cyanogen or own software ZUI support is a big flaw..

Well the way I see it, Redmi Note 3 Pro's custom roms and developer support are way less than Z1. At least Z1 has an almost fully functional CM13. Also, SD 801 is a beast and is definitely faster than SD 650 on Note 3 Pro.
Also, MIUI is a major drawback for me. Personally, I would go for something like Nexus 6P after Z1
Of course my ZUK Z1 also broke. Homebutton and Fingerprint stopped working. As i bought it with Amazon.de they gave me my money back.
I got a Huawei Mate 8 with 64gb and 4gb ram, it was like double the price but it just WORKS. Everything WORKS without issues, it´s 6 inches but still not bigger than the Z1 and it has Band20 support, awesome fingerprint etc... root is no issue. The battery is as big and it has proper dual sim support and a microsd slot in case i ever need to move files via sd card...
The only downside is no custom rom support, but that doesn´t matter for me anymore, it just want an awesome working phone which i now got.
It was my first and last zuk device, thats definately...
I change my mind... My z1 was just stolen and i just received an email saying the oneplus 3 is out for sale. The universe is telling me i need to get the oneplus 3 now.

Yeah... I almost bought zuk z1 again for the battery actually. I am really worried about the battery but the specs are amazing at that price and no other phone with 3500+ mah battery has the specs I want for the price I want. This will be my first phone with less than 4000 mah battery in years but I think the sacrifice may be worth it. YoolaCro, you seem to love battery as much as me so if you find alternatives I'd be happy to consider them, not buying OP3 for at least another week if nothing pops up

My girlfriend has Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. It's really good if you're ok with kind of locked software. I mean it's fairly regurarly updated but it'd kind of hassle if you want to flash things...
And me personally... I'd go for a ZUK Z2 because for 3500mAh on 5'' screen will last same as 4000 on 5,5'' . And price is really affordable for that kind of device. I mean Snapdragon 820 for less than a 300$ is insane.

That's true, my top choice for phone is actually the zuk z2 and I was planning on buying it before my phone got stolen. It has amazing specs, better than OP3 in my opinion, at almost $150 cheaper. Unfortunately I need a phone ASAP because of keeping track with my job and life, currently using an old iphone 3 lol.... And redmi note 3 just doesn't appeal to me, plus i wouldn't survive with the more locked software.
I can't wait around for zuk to roll these out internationally since i need a phone now, which may take some time since the english official zuk website is not even displaying the zuk z2 yet unfortunately.
Edit:
Actually, I will order OP3 this weekend, and I will have 15 days from the day it arrives to return it, so if the Z2 is out in the next 2 weeks I will return my OP3 for it. I think that's a good plan.
I read all your discussion about redmi note 3 pro and Zuk Z1. Now i am also decided to wait for ZUK Z2. Zuk Z2 is on the site. please check.
Hey guys im looking to buy a new phone and the x performance has the specs im looking for with an excelent price of 450 dollars . But the question is did sony fix their problems with camera overheating and gyro not working?Also does the phone heat up like the z3+ under normal use , is the speaker quality good ?The other phone for a little lower that i can get is the honor 8 which unlike the bad reviews for the x performance gets very positive feedback and recommendations .
No issue at all on mine

No bugs in mine too. Gyro is working perfect, no overheating, camera great.... Very nice display... A very good phone for the price
Im asking because i've watched almost all of the reviews and they say Sony dissapoints in 2016 not good enough for the price tag , camera overheats after 5 mins etc . But after watching reviews for the normal Xperia X they recommend and it and say its a great phone so why so negative about the same phone with more power . Thanks for the feedback i knew it was a good performer but these were the things that concered me
Yes, I saw this reviews too. This phone was expensive because was released at 650~700 euros, very expensive in my opinion. But for 430 (I bought it a couple months ago) or 400 it's a quite good price for the spects.

My previous phone was a z3c. I feel more powerful and fast the XP with nougat, that is I was looking for. And the XP display is much better than z3c. So I'm happy with the XP.
Only one difference, the XP have a good battery but the z3c was better. But the insane battery of the z3 series it's history.

ye, z3 compact on kitkat had amazing battery life. probably no chance that a compact flagship will be anounced at mwc 2017 later this month?
There are various leaks, but nothing for sure. Who knows...
