    Xperia Z1 Compact... finally the holy grail for "normal sized" phone enthusiasts?

    I have the Sony magnetic charger and it is crap. I am constantly having to slide the phone along until it finally docks. Not very strong magnetic connector, so it doesn't give a reassuring click. Trying to dock first time in low light or the dark is a no go. Plus its just a charger with no...

    Xperia Z1 Compact... finally the holy grail for "normal sized" phone enthusiasts?

    Just an update for some people worries about the camera, not that these are very good shots but there is not a lot wrong with this camera. I took a few shots this eve of a friends bike in the pitch black apart from a small side light. Look great on the phone, lots of detail.

    Xperia Z1 Compact... finally the holy grail for "normal sized" phone enthusiasts?

    Just endured the wind and rain and I can confirm I have no light leaking into the lens, unless I cover the flash. Why I would do that I don't know :/ Mine is yellow.

    Xperia Z1 Compact... finally the holy grail for "normal sized" phone enthusiasts?

    Ok, so mine is showing some bleed when I cover the flash in a completely dark room. I have also just tried this with a friends iphone and it does exactly the same thing. Would this not just be the light looking to escape somewhere. If i don't cover the flash in the room and let it just flash i...

    I have just done a few test. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Is_NjafRq8k/UvD5z-8SO5I/AAAAAAAALh8/aEDZuoUOtyM/w891-h501-no/DSC_0003.JPG Covered it with all sorts in a dark room and in my office no light bleeding at all, and I have the lime varient. I can see the flash going of but...

    Xperia Z1 Compact... finally the holy grail for "normal sized" phone enthusiasts?

    Well something is happening when I pop it on the charger. When I put an iPhone on there it does nothing, with the z1 the charger light flashes but it just doesn't charge. We need a teardown for an absolute answer, might just be a kernel restriction.

    Moto G is a great buy. But having held one, it doesn't have the same quality feel as the Z1 compact. Can't comment on battery either, but I have seen a video where it is placed under water for 30 mins and is completely fine!

    If I liked iOS I would buy an iphone 5s straight away, but everyone has a iPhone so why not be different, get a yellow one!

    I completely see where you are coming from and I am sure you will have loads of people tell you that big phones are great but honestly, I have had a lot of phones in all shapes and sizes from the iphone 3gs to the lumia 15020 and everything in between. The note 3's and 1520 of the world are...

    I have made a couple of comparison shots between my lumia 1020 and the z1 compact, both on auto as this is how most will shoot and I have compared the 8mp sony oversampled shot with the 5mp lumia 1020 oversampled shot. https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=27E0E8107A91396C%21115 Make sure...

    Engadget review also mentions no wireless charging. http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/30/sony-xperia-z1-compact-review/ That sucks. Looks like i'll be buying a dock then.

    Both have QI underneath. Nokia output .75AH, nexus 1.0AH. Both nothing, trying to find info online and nowhere on the official spec sheet does it mention Qi wireless charging, as far as I can see anyway.

    I have also just tried it with a nexus 4 QI charger. It did nothing.

    Xperia Z1 Compact... finally the holy grail for "normal sized" phone enthusiasts?

    Mine came today! I got the lime one, and to be honest its not lime, It's yellow which is what I wanted. Fist impressions are good, nice screen and very fast. I installed the screen protector which came with it, strange it only comes for one for the front. Going to order a couple of sets on...

    That's a shame. Starting to regret it a bit now. The camera for me is very important but WP is just to limited which is why I bought the Z1 compact.

    There is still some pretty aggressive post processing happening in those pictures. Its a shame that Sony, a company with such incredible imaging pedigree, can built incredible hardware but let it self get piped at the post by sloppy software. When I get mine, hopefully tomorrow, I'll post...

    Xperia Z1 Compact... finally the holy grail for "normal sized" phone enthusiasts?

    It's a shame about the htc one. I think i was just unlucky but i went through 3 of them all with hardware issues. It has easily the best screen i have ever seen on a smartphone. Shame the next version is going to a 5 inch screen.

    That's absolutely ridiculous. If hadn't ordered one I might have got a flight there and had a few days in Switzerland. The offset of the phone would have paid for my flight with easyjet! On the plus side I have had an invoice so hopefully it will despatched soon.

    Anybody else received shipping confirmation yet? Starting to see them appear on ebay now and I still haven't had one.
