Well I'm coming from (still using) a Jolla, which is +3.7L,+3.1W,+1.3D (mm) larger than the Z3C. and the latter feels massively more compact. Personally I find it too thin.

Relative to your SII, the Z3C. is +2L,-1.2W,+0.1D (mm). Slightly longer (not really relevant for handling), less wide ... and if you think you can feel 0.1mm thicker ... you're more sensitive than me. I'd say you shouldn't have any concerns at all. It should feel less 'clunky' than the SII due to being less wide.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marumari:
Heck, I'd even take an extra millimeter or two, if it meant I could get something more than this paltry, meager two day battery life. ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
Thin is overrated.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] strife502:
Coming from an HTC One S, thickness is great, the former I had to use with a case as it was actually too thin. I was surprised by the weight of the Z3C though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Jonfensu:
Thick my xperia neo v
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] stormbeta:
Ditto - I can't wait for my case to come in tomorrow.

Half tempted to ask a friend to 3D print something to give it a curved back.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ajbiz11:

I love the curve on that...but the m8 is kinda...odd to me
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cschmitt:
Bingo! Totally agree.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bialynia:
Definitely not too thick, any thinner and I'd get agitated
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tudork:
Sometimes I feel it's too thin. Together with it being slippery, it makes it hard to pick it up from a table.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] endlesstrail:
Yup. I won't mind it being 1 or 2 mm thicker if they use that extra thickness to good use, like filling it up with battery goodness, or maybe even wireless charging.

I don't fully agree with the present trend of bigger display sizes, thinner phones and QHD. A little over-kill, IMO. :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] NRG1975:
Had it in my hands all night, it needs more beef ... Too worried about not having not enough grip.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ventura726:
Feels great in the hand. I'd say the thickness is spot on. Feels well-built and solid.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LastQuark:
Not too thick and not too thin. Perfect for me. It looks thin though sitting on a table. I think it is due to it's sandwich style.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] simpsoj:
Also coming from a Galaxy S2, I was quite pleased at how similar the dimensions are. It doesn't have the fat bottom end of the GT-i9100, which was quite handy for fishing the thing out of your pocket, but did look a wee bit funny.

You can tell it's slightly longer/taller when you hold them side by side, but the Z3C actually fits into the Samsung OEM car dock for the S2, which really testifies to how alike these models are, footprint-wise.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] lolstebbo:
I actually wish the phone were a bit thicker and heavier.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Reremnu:
For me it feels better in hand than my Nexus 4. Z3C feels great in my hand, it's thickness is perfect for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] subhani:
You guys should try the Z3! Mine just feels too wafer thin. Looks novel and feels novel but very dangerous and impractical
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] xDroidZz:
at least it doesnt bend :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Paninno12:
Not at all. Feels good in the hand and pretty solid too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] adichandra:
Thick = why so thick?

Thin = id rather have it thick so they can put bigger battery.

Zzzz
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mudassirrashid:
Thick mean we can have it in jeans pocket without breaking ?

another former SGS2 user the biggest difference to me wasnt the thickness but the weight. its far heftier than the SGS2. but i concur with users, everything looks and feels nice. its a great phone dont hesitate.

btw it was comforting to see so many other SGS2 users, looks like more people than me were waiting for a small phone with big specs. now i just hope this last me as many years as my SGS2 did.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
I think no phone has to be thinner than this one. Thinner only adds discomfort imo.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] NRG1975:
Yep, same boat as you, lol. Moto X 2013 was on my list ... waited till the new one came out, then it too got large. Originally I was going to get Z1C or Moto X 2013, then I caught wind of of the Z3C and waited for that. I am totally happy I did.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ChiGGz:
Amen to that brother! I was so close to pulling the trigger on a Huawei P6 because it was the only phone I found that met size criteria close to the SGS2 but heard alot about heat issues and poor battery. That said, I think we found a good younger brother for our S2 in the Z3c!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cyphomatic:
I wouldn't like this phone to be thinner. This would only benifit bending like the new Aplle phones.

I'm actually waiting for a case to make it thicker and better fitting my hand.
[HTC Breeze] wonderben:
Does O2 offer its very successful O2 Phone Plus for Smartphone and if so, does anyone able to make a universal version for other non O2 smartphone? I have a Breeze and would love to have it.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Kev1000000:
I've had my Z3 compact for only 2 days, and I am already noticing micro scratches on the screen. My previous Moto X, which I've had for a year had no scratches on the screen of any kind, and I've never had a screen protector on it.

Anyone else seeing the same thing?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] xShin:
I haven't seen anything yet, but I'm trying to be careful with it lol. Any idea what you might've been doing that could have caused the scratches?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mudnightoil:
It ships with a screen protector ...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
Only in certain markets though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] strife502:
Aye, didn't get one with mine. Leaving it with the plastic things on until I can get a protector, not using it till rooted anyway.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] NRG1975:
Are you aware if 'Murica gets a screen protector?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mudnightoil:
Guess you'll see when it becomes available or detailed listing of package contents are put up. However, UK market definitely has it, so for those importing from Clove or Handtec, they will definitely get one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
I'm not in 'Murica, so, nope, sorry, can't tell you.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Kev1000000:
I've never used a screen protector on any of my previous phones, because I generally baby them. So I wasn't planning on using one with the Z3c. The front behaves more like plastic than glass, when it comes to scratches, apparently. None of my previous phones ever developed micro-scratches like this, and with how quickly they developed, this worries me a bit.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] NRG1975:
Ordered mine from Clove, and my unit which was delivered to 'Murica did indeed come with a Screen Protector.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

I ordered form Clove, and yes, I got one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Alex2x3:
Wow didn't really notice this but just checked it under bright light and the upper corner does have a few very thin scratches. Definitely never dealt with this before on any other phone. Kind of worries me a bit. Ordered a tempered glass screen protector so I just need to be extra careful until Wednesday.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
That doesn't tell anything about 'murica, because it came from the UK.

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

Well if your phone gets into contact with certain dust/sand particles, then there really isn't a lot of friction needed to create those tiny micro scratches. No phone display can withstand dust/sand+friction. The dust may be in your pocket, or wherever. You might notice the scratches more because this topic has encouraged you to actively start looking for them under very bright light.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Kev1000000:
My Moto X does not have any micro-scratches after being in the same pockets for over a year. Tapping on the Moto X's glass also feels a lot more dense than than the Z3c. I think Sony used some very thin/soft glass to achieve the "light" feeling of the device, which is going to make it a lot more susceptible to scratching.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
Could you upload a video of this tapping sound difference? Keep in mind that the materials surrounding the glass also influence the sound the glass makes when tapped.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marumari:
It gets the same micro-scratches that I got on my Nexus 5. I never got them on my S3 or HTC One at all, so there must be some minor difference there.

Still, even on the N5, the scratches weren't terribly noticeable except in bright light, and the Z3C has a considerably brighter screen.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] JHadley:
So you got yours then? Mine is tagged with the courier, I should get it today, but had hoped it would have been earlier.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Iruwen:
Aw come on...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] marumari:
The Handtec one came with a screen protector, but it was just one of those cheap plastic jobbies. They're always way worse than the good tempered glass screen protectors.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Kev1000000:
Anyone recommend a good tempered glass protector that is currently available?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Blaalad12:
This doesnt sound to good! Iam coming from a htc one that i have had for almost a year and a half and there is not a single scratch , not even a micro scratch and i NEVER used a screen protector as i find them almost impossible to apply correctly and they take away from the beauty of the display / phone just a tad !! I would be gutted if a new expensive phone was seen to have micro scratches after short use
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] NRG1975:
You are absolutely correct. I misread the original post, and I thought even though it was coming form the UK, they would be region specific. Alas, I had it the wrong way.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

I did, and am really happy about it! Spent the last hour setting things up. Still got a little tweaking to do, but it almost there. I am quite happy with the purchase.

Isn't the Z3C have a scratch resistant Gorilla Glass 3 ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
Officially Sony only mentions "hardened/tempered" glass, so nobody knows for sure.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dillalade:
My z1c I used naked without screen guard. And it picked up scratches all the time. Its not a great screen in that regard. I'm assuming the z3c will follow suite. So this time I'm screen guarding based on the z1c experience.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] maven1975:
This could be why we are seeing easily cracked screens right out of the gate. How much did Somy really save by not using Gorilla Glass 3? :/
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] alexecus:
From the looks of it, Sony really didn't use Gorilla Glass.

Would prefer scratch resistant glass rather than shatter proof glass any day. You can see in YouTube how tough Gorilla glasses are, can even withstand high drops without any scratch, it's not even advertised as shatter proof.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Iruwen:
Good to see that Corning's marketing worked out so well.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Crewville96:
When I brought home our new phones (bought two Z3C's), the first thing I showed my wife was that it was waterproof. I gave it to her after my little demonstration, and the first thing she did was drop it on to our hard wood floor from chest height. Not a scratch or mark on the phone.

This review states it's Gorilla Glass front and rear - http://www.wired.co.uk/reviews/mobile-phones/2014-09/sony-xperia-z3-compact

Two things to note - firstly, the Z1C had a shoddy plastic anti shatter film from factory, which was soft and scratched easily. Peeling it was easy, but it voided warranty. Z3C doesn't have this.

Secondly, GG is hard and good at resisting many scratches (except sand/rocks) but it isn't shatter proof, as the countless drop tests on all the latest phones will show.

Tempered Glass Screen Protectors are available http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...ompact-Explosion-proof/316547_2042931876.html
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] robertkoa:
What IS the Soft Glass on the Z3 Compact ?

Achilles heal is definitely going to be the Glass I think.

I have been reading User Reports and have .a much better

idea of what to expect from this phone .

The wacky illogic of . Cell Phones surprises me.

I am seeing many reports of early scratches on the front and back glass - if I order a Z3C I will definitely get hopefully Glass Screen Protectors for it.

Front and Back protectors made from Tempered Glass available for

Z3 C ?

Amazing that SONY saved 5$ per unit by NOT using Gorilla Glass

2 or 3 on this ? ¿ WTF ¿

They did SO much on the inside and forgot the obvious ..

I had read about a Glass called Dragontrail supposed to be durable-

but the Dragon must have been sick that year......
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] unk3:
are these scratches micro scratches (only visible from the direct light) or actual scratches that is always visible?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
I can only see them under very bright conditions.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tenchu_712:
I wish i could apply screen protector sooner, my screen already has some micro and even visible scratches :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] AlexusJ:
Not really surprising... According to Corning's own site, Sony isn't even listed in the list of products which use Gorilla Glass.

Of course, neither is Apple, so Sony probably also doesn't want to advertise what they actually use... Anyway, if you guys are afraid of scratches - just use screen protector, any will do.

I've had tempered glass front and back on my Z3C since the day I got it.

When I ordered the phone I also went on Amazon and eBay and ordered glass protectors, magnetic cable, shocksock pouch etc.

Because my phone was delivered by a courier who seemed to use an old donkey to move stuff around the UK, all the extra bits had arrived before the phone so the glass front and rear protectors went on before the phone was turned on.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pipspeak:
Lazy journalism (not really journalism at all, just a poorly rehashed press release). All evidence here and elsewhere suggests Sony did not use GG3, but perhaps Dragontail glass (Japanese-made) or some other chemically-hardened glass. Having GG3 is a huge marketing plus that any phone maker would be happy to trumpet to help sales. Sony's strangely silent on what glass it used, which is weird and suggests it's probably not very good :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] difto:
After one month, no protectors at all: screen has no scratches, not even under sunlight. Back has scratches but only visible under sunlight, I put a protector on the back especially because the phone fall 3-4 times because of it's slippery back and it's covered in scratches after only 3 days so the back is maybe not less resistant but much more exposed to scratches.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] toth42:
Had the phone for 12 hours - including 7 hours of sleeping - only been handled and in pocket for a couple of hours - already micro-scratches are visible in the middle of the screen.

Next to it I have my workphone, a cheap Galaxt Trend that gets handled roughly - it has no - not one - scratches after 6 months. I ordered the screen protector before I bought the phone, so it will be here in a day or two, extremely dissapointing that the phone/screen couldnt handle ONE day of careful use without scratching!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pipspeak:
I wish someone would do one of those phone torture tests that are often posted on YouTube (or in reviews). It would be interesting to see just how easily the Z3c glass is scratched by everyday items like keys and coins.

Meanwhile, here are a few Z3 torture tests:

Knife-on-screen test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBE0I2zSfcs

Accidental drop test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQap7Yw1Gaw

Bend test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guF8uBKfyQk
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
Knife tests are not legit scratch tests since steel is softer than hardened glass. A test with rubbing sand and other debis would be much more valid.

after my Z1 Died (because i connected to the magnatic charger and that cable was connected to PC,stupid work:p)

and i opened the back of it and disconnected the battrey from mainboard and connected it again and baaam phone back to life!

it only shows the charging icon and battrey wont be charged stay at where it was or drained after some time like it wasnt on charge

then i noticed that if i connect to pc with usb and turn of the display (that wont turn of during the connection) it will hang and nothing happen if i press the power button after i disconnect it so i have to reboot it with VOL+ and Power

and my major problem is this

this crap wont be shut down

the next time

the same old deal

I have started having this issue where, when Bluetooth headphones are connected for call and media audio, and my device interacts in some way with the Chromecast integration, the media connection disconnects, and any currently playing media audio starts blaring from the speakers. I'm a heavy bluetooth user, so this is a huge annoyance and occasionally embarrassing.

Two situations where this consistently happens:

- I connect to my home wifi network when the TV connected to the Chromecast is on.

- I play a YouTube video in the browser (which has poor Chromecast integration as is).

I've noticed other scattered posts talking about Bluetooth switching off or switching profiles due to Chromecast. Anyone else having Bluetooth issues due to having a Chromecast?

My device: Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3, stock, rooted with Xposed.
