Agree with Android Authority and Pocket Now daily, great You Tube channels, they are also capable of getting the specs right, for instance a fair few other sites out there proclaimed the Z3 tablet had a 1080p resolution instead of 1200, and then compared the screen to its competitorsyeah real professional.
Loved Android Authority's drop tests and Pocket Now after the buzz. Also a brilliant review You Tube channel is Mobiletechreview they do great in depth product reviews.
I don't mind David Pierce, however, I feel a reviewer should park their preferences at the door when evaluating a device and this is an area where he falls short.
Vlad Savov does a fine job and brings a measured tone that doesn't smack of shilling; Dieter Bohn should spend some time shadowing Vlad and take notes.
The site definitely hasn't been the same since Josh downloaded the flagship reviews to the others. Only Vlad is in his league now.
It's a shame because, while I still visit the site, I remember how good a tech-site it was 2.5 - 3 years ago. It really bottomed out about 6 months ago and lately I've seen signs of a tech pulse. Hopefully Nilay can bring it back.
Oh, and the Z3 Compact is brilliant (as long as Sony didn't drop the ball in any one crucial area - keeping fingers crossed)!!!
No but I do like the name. Very feminine. Sounds like makeup
It's good for those who like small devices though as it is the only smaller mainstream android device with flagship specs.

Jesus, look at the gigantic phone that some people are lusting after today

I am very excited about the Z3 Compact. I had a Z1C for a couple of months. Liked everything about it other than the missing LTE band 17 which is used by AT&T in my area. I just sold it after the Z3C announcement. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Did Sony announcement the price on it yet?
That is a great tool from Phonearena!
Why couldn't Apple make the body of the iPhone 6 smaller? Is it their obsession with being thin? The G2 has a 5.2" screen, same body size as the 6. The Z3 Compact houses a 4.6" in a body just a bit bigger than the 5s.
The irony is that I'm even more impressed with the Z3C after the announcement of the iPhone 6 lol.

There are a lot of them, but I'm not interested.
Indeed, it is.
That's why I'm keeping my iPhone 5. It's super!
Not planning in upgrading anytime soon. I'm very satisfied with it.
Sony is making some kind of announcement on October 9 so I suppose we'll hear more then...

I think Sony Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact are the only two devices I would sell both my current phones to get one of them. I asked the saleslady at the Xperia store and they still have no idea when it will be released. Hopefully by November as Sony rarely delays it here. I really like the bigger Z3 because of higher RAM, metal and more rounded frame, and the overall dimensions with its 0.5 bigger display is fine with me. Some PS4 games would have resolution loss if it were 1080p.
I still might keep both my phones because I prefer having two phones in case I lose one or it gets stolen. Perhaps if I was back in US where most people have only one cell phone number is when I might reconsider it again. But by early next year, the Z4 gets announced at CES. The biannual flagship releases is a bit of a turn off for me. Keep it simple, Mr. Hirai.

Forget the States, give something to Canada!
Seriously, we get nothing for phones. Each time I look forward to a new model, it isn't available here, and the bands often don't support it so I can't order it online.
This had better come, along with the Nokia 830. I think I'd rather a Windows 8.1 Phone than Android, but this Sony looks like it fits the bill just right.
Waterproof and excellent camera are great features.
FWIW, I was in the Sony store a couple of weeks ago and he told me that both the Compact and the Z3 would be coming to their store (Ottawa). So there is hope.
Thanks, that's where I am. Hopefully it happens, although to be honest I'm not sure if I can be bothered to wait forever for it. The secrecy of all these companies does wear on me when it actually comes time to buying things.
Still waiting on the Nokia 830/930 to come to Canada, which they supposedly plan to... but again...
Xperia Z3 Compact - The mighty, little KING of STAMINA
Yeah, I'm pretty excited. Like I mentioned before, I might want the bigger Z3 more just because of more RAM, metal frame, and it fits perfectly in my holster case reserved for my Mi 3 which is only 2mm shorter.
But I don't feel you could go wrong with either Z3 or Z3C. They are both fantastic. If the price difference is bigger than I would like, then I could settle with the little brother with more stamina.
At least no flame wars like the juvenile iPhone 6 vs 6 Plus threads ridiculing each other's choices. And SONY didn't jip us on RAM and battery capacity.
