Phone upgrade Z1 vs Z2 vs Z3

[killa92]

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about getting one of the above devices to replace my C6603. The reason I have asked here is because I know Xperia Z users will want the same things as I do. Now we know how durable the Z is so based on mainly durability which of the above would be best for me?

Apparently dragontrail glass is no longer used on these models which is my main worry, I don't want a phone that will break easily as I use the phone around engine bays and all sorts.

Cheers for any input guys,
:good:

You're right.
I'm about to replace my C6603 too.

Well, if you seek for a device that won't break easily like a glass, then the above 3 choices is fragile.
If you want a reliable, not easily break devices, you can start with Xperia X or X Performance. But, if you search for a budget device, I suggest you go for Z3. Z1 is good, but not good enough (screen, battery, RAM and chipset) compare to Z2. And Z2 has some software issue on Marshmallow firmware (related to WiFi).

If you ask me, I would buy Z2. I like the design.

I've recently replaced Z to Z2 after four years. I like it a lot. It's a great phone if you don't need the newest gear. All major disadvantages that was bothering me on Z is gone on Z2. Good Speakers i think one of the best in Z series. Good screen, great battery life comparing to Z. I didn't noticed any wifi problems but cellular signal is weaker on Z2 perhaps because of full aluminum body. My Z was holding good signal like a beast i could talk clearly when other people just can't even make a call. Only in this case Z2 is a little dissapointment to me. Also i miss FM transmitter i used it a lot in car.
