So what do people think of the new flagship from Sony? The Sony Z1

I will have to wait till after work to mess about with it but so far the reviews are not good.

Straight from my online chat this am :

"you'll need to return your faulty phone to the delivery agent at the time of receiving the new phone."


That is like-for-like though, no?

 

Also, wouldn't believe a word online chat say, sorry - new customer to O2 and over the last week or so the online chat have been nothing short of attrocious!

 

To be absolutely sure, I would call them up - it's a pain but they do seem a lot better.

Mine doesn't - however some others have had the issue but a replacement seems to have sorted it.

Depends on what you class as hot. Most smartphones get warm with use, certainly depending on what's running on the device and my Z1 is no exception but it never becomes uncomfortably hot.
I work for O2 but my comments and opinions posted here are solely my own and do not reflect those of Telefonica.

Mine gets very warm but not hot to touch. Reviews online seemed to suggest with the processor size and battery this is to be expected!

I have had the phone for one week, so far so good.

One question though:

What's the maximum memory size for the external Micro SD?

O2 website says 16GB (as seen 16/10/2013 at 2130h) [link]
Vodafone website says 64GB. [Vodafone link]

When I bought it last week I thought it was 64GB and now that I am buying a micro SD card online, I started to panic so I would like to know what's the correct answer please.

Also if anyone has installed a 64GB card... have you noticed any performance/speed issues?

 

thanks in advance.

64GB is absolutely fine, ignore the O2 website wink

 

No speed or performance issues, don't worry.

Ok thanks guys, prompt response much appreciated... 64GB purchased!

 slight_smile

Now for something more difficult...
I am trying to buy a solar-powered charger for the Z1.

Sometimes I do not have access to electricity for days or even weeks and being able to charge the phone via the sun would be a huge bonus.

 

Is there such a thing in the market?
