I mentioned before I turned on Stamina Mode permanently since the battery which I havent replaced only lasts 5 hours max without it.I still have Galaxy 5 (not S5, just 5), S3, Sony Z3C and recently retired huawei P10.Over 5 years old and still working nicely.
X-Reality does a good job and wed say stick to that for phone use, as it adds saturation and contrast to images. Not so the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, a device powerful enough to stand up to its larger-screen rivals. Unlike most other Android smartphones with screens typically 5-inches or larger, the Z3 Compact fits neatly into hand and pocket thanks to its 4.6-inch panel. Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Charging Slowly Portable Powerhouse DesirableThat will make this portable powerhouse desirable for many seeking something smaller. But is it worth your cash Xperia Z design, refined Sony has been refreshing and releasing phones with unparalleled frequency. The Xperia Z OmniBalance design of the Z3 Compact is the latest evolution, a squat and almost muscular looking phone that avoids the vast expanse of its Z3 big brother. The frame holding these glass panels together Sony calls liquid reflection - its plastic with nylon corners to try and reduce damage should you drop it - that offers a sort-of frosted appearance. Pocket-lint It feels like a well-built phone in the hand and is easy to handle with plenty of grip thanks to that compact size. No phablet scale monster that can so easily slip from the hand to be found here. But if we have one criticism its that the frame, with its nylon corners and all, isnt as seamlessly integrated as wed like and dust gathers in the small trough around the display. Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Charging Slowly Full Submerging ToAs the Z3 Compact is also waterproof - another bonus, offering an IP6568 rating for full submerging to 1.5m - the ports are covered except for the proofed headphones socket. Youll need these flaps sealed tight to keep the water out, and as the charging port is under one youll need to make sure its closed tight after each charge. Pocket-lint To avoid opening that flap for charging, and as with other Xperia Z devices, theres also the option to buy a charging dock - the DK48, priced 30 - that is well worth it as a convenient bedside charger. It might be small in size, but theres no denying that the Z3 Compact delivers a whole lot of phone for the money. And with a 429 SIM-free price (direct from Sony) its positioned very aggressively. Display The Xperia Z3 Compact has a 4.6-inch display, with a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution. The display makes great use of the available footprint, without excessive bezel to any side. Theres some space top and bottom, which houses the front-facing speakers, but we like how Sony has struck a happy balance here - it doesnt look too out of proportion, which is something weve said of previous Z devices. Pocket-lint The resolution means a 319ppi pixel density, putting it in the same sort of territory as the iPhone 6 or the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Smartphone fans will know that this isnt the highest resolution around at this size - the 4.7-inch HTC One M7 had a 1920 x 1080 resolution, for example - but at 4.6-inches the Sony gives a good showing for itself. The display is somewhat prone to fingerprints, but look beyond those and youll see ample details and lots of punch to colours. Its an IPS LCD display which is important for wide viewing angles, while Sonys Triluminos and Live Colour LED labels and X-Reality Engine are the processing means to those vivid colours. As weve said before now, sometimes those enhancements can push things a little too far, but theres always the option to switch them off. Theres the option for super-vivid colour boost, for example, but wed advise against that as it tends to boost to the detriment of detail.
