If you liked what you heard already about the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and Z3 smartphones, the time has come to pre-order the devices. The Z3 Compact smartphone can be pre-ordered at Clove in the UK right now and its pre-order price has been reduced.
You can now pre-order the Z3 Compact for £349 including VAT. That is a significant price cut from the original £432 price with VAT that the pre-order started at. If you pre-ordered the device with Clove at the higher original price, the new price will be applied to your order.
Clove expects the first batch of Z3 compact smartphones in red, white, and black to arrive at the end of this month. If you want the Xperia Z3, you can pre-order that device at Carphone Warehouse in the UK. Carphone Warehouse will sell the Xperia Z3 smartphone for £430.
That is quite a bit cheaper than you can get the smartphone from Sony Mobile Store or Amazon UK with their prices at £549 and £529.95 respectively. The Z3 will have a 5.2-inch screen, 20.7MP camera, and will run a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor.

Since ZR/Z1 failures don’t trust Sony :/
How were they failures?
ZR is not waterproof, many people had problems.
My brother have ZR and lost Bluetooth and NFC, don’t work anymore, even with new updates. WiFi drops all the time, I had to flash an early version of JB to make it work, lasted 3 weeks and now have drops again. Sony Care (Customer Service) really don’t fix nothing. It’s a general failure, you can google ZR PROBLEMS, you will read a lot.
A friend of mine have Z1 and a lot of WiFi problems too. Sony said updates will fix it but I think is a hardware problem. Really sad because I like Sony design. I recommended to my bro to buy his ZR , Now he complain all the time about it :/
Hmm Idk I thought mostmost were happy with Z1. Zr Idk. But I think all phones from any company always have random hiccups Idk. Sucks. I have the regular xoeria Z and have no issues
Maybe it’s bad luck, some bad batch of phones. The problem to me was Sony don’t give any reply about the problems, just their patches (updates).
Read a lot about it, some people complain about different things , screen, waterproof. Even with Z2, so.I don’t trust anymore.
Z3 looks nice anyway.
My Xperia Z1 is still working like a champ. i’ve used the waterproofing a lot too (kayaking, caught in rain camping, dunking in pitcher of beer at bars for fun, etc). I’m getting the Z3 Compact hopefully next week from clove 🙂
