this is what I've been waiting for! fingers crossed it's half decent and released very soon

 

[Mr_Cool]

Sensors 1/2.3

Tbh I hope Sony can pulll off the camera, the hardwares fine its the software.

 

[nam]

why still the 720p ? is in not possible to get 1080p in that size ?

 

[kona786]

1080p is overkill at that size IMO.

319ppi + RGB Stripe is on the right side of crispy.

How can the 810 power the 4K Premium ?

Wrong thread and 4k not confirmed.

 

[doodah]

I know this is the Compact thread but saw something yesterday which almost sounded like the Premium, Z5 and Z5c were confirmed and all powered by the 810. Surprised they are using such a powerful chip for the Compact.

 

[kona786]

True, they could be using lower binned versions of the 810.

Check back Wednesday as its not 100% confirmed yet but 720p seems likely for 4.6".
Longer battery life + better performance.

810 could get a bit toasty in a very compact phone?

 

[MeAnBoY]

Looking forward to official specs as it'll likely be my new phone come upgrade time in December

 

[ubersonic]

The Z4 (Z3+ in Europe) ditching the magnetic charging was a facepalm worthy move by Sony. Not adding it back on the Z5 or adding Qi charging instead is double facepalm territory

Without Mag/Qi charging I wont be downgrading from my Z3c anytime soon

 

[AMDPower]

when will this be available to buy in the UK?

I am just about to pull the trigger on a Z3 compact but might wait for this if its not too much longer.

 

[xs2man]

Think they are announcing this week? Probably released end of this month / early next?

The magnetic charging dock is a bit crap really. Breaks after a while, cables are expansive so you only end up with 1 etc. But then it beats taking it out of your case every time you want to charge it. Wireless charging is the way to go, but a redesigned USB cover wouldn't go a miss.

Either way this could be a very interesting phone, the Z3C is by far the best compact high end device available, they have a lot to do to make it significantly better.

 

[Warp279]

Pink & yellow colour options?
no blue / green

QI is a gimmick imo.

 

[Christmas themed thank]

I don't think Sony really see any point in adding QI charging as the battery life on their phones is so good that you really don't need to be topping it up (as let's be honest that's what QI is good for at the momennt, I wouldn't use it to charge my phone from 0 to 100% just because it's rather slow) throughout the day.

Removing the magnetic charging is no big loss either I don't think as you're still plugging a cable in essentially and I think the placement of the magnetic port on the side was a bit inconvenient. I think a USB port on the bottom makes far more sense.

 

[the_r_sole]

Will almost definitely be getting one of these, sounds perfect for me but don't like how they've made it out to be a woman's phone with their advert!!
