How are people finding this phone. Need too get my Aunt a phone and shes always been a Sony fan but didn't want a glass back in fear of it breaking. Or should I wait too see how this new X line turns out? Her budget is around £300 which works well with the Z5 compact.
Hi - this phone is great - the perfect size (for me anyway), decent enough camera and good battery life (although the z3 compact lasts longer). I hope the update coming soon will help improve this a touch. I don't get the X series phones at all - the Z phones are pretty much superior in every way bar the CPU upgrade.

Downloaded and awaiting installation, it came through as an automatic update.
I'm in the same boat, got one new off ebay for £270. Just getting the warranty confirmed then i'll get everything swapped over. I like the moto g but the 1GB of ram, non expandable storage and poor camera are holding it back.
Battery is my main issue... Two days ago after staming music for 2 hours over 3g, battery level was reported at 100%...this was without it being charged for the past 12 hours...i put it on charge anyway for a while. When i took it off after 30 minutes it was down to 30%...
If at any point it goes at 20% the battery saver kicks in and then immediately shuts down... It will then turn on (when on charge for about 5 minutes) as if i have just upgraded android, and start optimising apps for a good 20 minutes...
My battery is still fairly good except when I really hammer it. I've had a couple of instances of running my running tracker app, spotify and the torch and it'll cut out at 30% and won't restart. As soon as I plug it in it'll report 30% again.
really excited...Having had the phone for a few days, I have to say I am rather impressed with the battery life.
The below is with a screen on time of about 4 hours, during which I was using GPS through google maps.
Does anyone know what the max read and write speeds for the SD card are? I seem to bottleneck at about 40MB/s read 30MB/s write, using a kingston with advertised 90MB/s read and 80MB/s write speeds.

I did a couple of benchmarks of my Integral 128GB UltimaPro and got results all over the place. Sometimes I would get (sequential) reads and writes above 100MB/s, other times at 0.15MB/s. I just ignored it.
However I manually copied a 2GB file from the internal storage to SD and back. Write to SD maxed at 12MB/s and read from maxed at 40MB/s.
