Answering purely from a screen size perspective. I'm using a Moto E (4.5in), previously used Z1 (5.0in). 4.6in size (Z3c) is best for one handed usage, calling, texting and getting things done. For Movies and YouTube (as you said), you'll be better with a 5.5in phone. Best option would be to go to a store and try a few phones in person. Or search for a bigger display at http://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3

The phone is small, but that is the reason I bought it. I use the sony xperia z3 compact tablet for media. Still the best tablet in my opinion.

Save the cash and go for the Z5 Compact, I love my Z3 Compact but the build quality especially the flaps is really not what I would call sturdy, while the Z5 Compact has a more sturdy frame, and an updated processor/gpu combo which makes it better for your money

1. yes (used dice player)
2. yes via adapter
3. MTP mode by default
4. as with all manufacturers, it might be void
5. don't know

3. Yes it does have a mass storage mode buried in the Settings (it is in the Xperia section).
It does warn you that only the SD card will be available via mass storage when you turn it on. Not sure if this means internal SD, external SD or both as I haven't needed to try it.

I watched some James Bond 720mkv, 'hard' subtitled, room temperature and there was no lag.. some people experience thermal throttle while playing games and watching HD movies, but I haven't yet.
Hopefully, will not .

Regarding 720p video playback there is no lag. Watched few 1080p movies via dlna on wi-fi tv, very smooth playback.

Bike computer

Hi guys, just ordered my Xperia Z as a replacement for my S3 as I want to use it as a bike computer without a ridiculously large waterproof case. Has anyone found a way to get ANT+ or BT4.0 sensors to work or do I have to cross my fingers and hope that Android 5.0 provides the libraries for the latter?

MHL / HDMI output lag

Hello all!
I am xperia z user from 2 weeks now, and I am pretty satisfied with the phone in general. One thing bothers me too much lately. The video output is very show, skipping frames. I tried using lg full hd tv and sony 720p tv. Tried both a noname mhl cable and hama mhl (1080p certified ) cables. Rebooted phone, reset, stopped apps and services. The video from samsung s2 is perfect, no lag with these adapters. Games are played awesome. The z phone has to be much powerful, because of the faster hardware, but doubling fullhd screen seems to overwhelm it. Even the menu is laggy, gallery is laggy and frustrating. Video plays almost normally (1080p), but sometimes skips frames. When games are played, especially modern ones (nfs shift, real racing 3) the phone gets very laggy and hot and runs at maybe 5-15 frames per second.
Have You tried Mhl adapters? Have You experienced these issues?
My firmware is .350, havent got official upgrade yet.
Do You think it might be a hardware problem with my specific phone, or it is just a software glitch, which I hope Sony will iron out?
Thanks for any advice and help in advance!
I used the mhl adapter I had for the s2 and worked with a very slight lag which is tolerable for me, I guess it could work better with mhl 2 made for s3.

Xperia Z does not work with the MHL cables made for the SGS3, which are 11 pin MHL. The Xperia Z has 5 pin MHL which is compatible with the MHL adapters from SGS2 or from the first Galaxy Note.
I also have lag on 1.434 firmware, it is tolerable for me also, movie playback is perfectly fine. Maybe Sony inproved this from 1.350. I hope they fully fix this on the next firmware.
re
I tried on another xperia z - same issues, same lag, same software version. I hope .434 firmware will fix this.
Doesnt anyone use this feature on the phone??

Z1 sound quality compared to Z & Z Ultra

Does anyone yet know how the speaker (and headphone) quality & loudness compare to other phones
Especially the Z & Z Ultra as the waterproofing evidently degraded the sound volume and quality.
Hoping it's been rectified this time.
There's a video on speaker sound comparison between Z1 and HTC One if u like to watch

The HTC One seems to have better sound for me
I wouldn't expect it to be, tbh, as long as it's better than the Z and loud enough, that's fine for me.
It sound loud enough fr me, but hey nobody want to hear your music, thats why we got an earphone
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The HTC one has the best sound of all android phones due to beats and boomsound. I found that the Z1 speakers were not as loud as my S3 speakers but the sound out of them was definitely was of a better quality. Headphones was good but I need to mess around more with the settings etc to confirm!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Comparing to other phones I have, the Z1 speaker is obviously not as good as my One nor the S4 (I9500). It's about on par with my N7 which isn't bad but not at the top of end either.

Hey mate, I compared the Z and the Z1 video playback (speakers) on my hands on video. Here is the link if you wanna check it out:

Well, I'm using XS with AC!D sound engine and sound is pretty good, I'll buy a Z1 in the next month just hope that AC!D team will support Z1 in the next versions.

[Q] Z2 vs Z3 vs Z3+ vs S6 Edge Sound thru headphones

Hey guys. My first review here but I think this really need to be addressed.
On my Z2, music was great till I had a note 4, root it and installed viper4android. So I managed to root my Z2 and install fauxsound and sold of my note 4 just cause it made the volume louder and its easy to drive my senheisser.
Then I got the Z3 and managed to install viper4android just to make it enough gain to drive my sennheiser. Sound was nearly perfect.
However, Z3+ seems has louder volume output then its predecessors. Is it my ears or is it louder now?
Still waiting for root just to install viper4android. Have a spare S6 Edge and with viper4android installed, I still think S6 Edge sound output is superior.
What do you guys think?

The whole sound output on the Z3+ is refined as seen here. There are some real nice additions in the Z3+ compared to earlier models. I hear a difference on my Z2,Z3+ but no idea how it was on Z3
Biggest change is what i feel from my old Z2 is Size.... Z3+ is really... comfortable to handle with such impressive design. also there are 35 Sensors while in Z2 it was 18 Sensors...i don't know more sensor is good or bad...

Obviously basic sensors like gyroscope,magnetometer,pressure sensor,etc. Z cpu shows 35 sensor count. Lol i think this phone is having highest no. Of peripherals installed.
