[Q] Is the Sony Xperia Z durable?

[gFrenken97]

I'm thinking of getting one on a 2 year contract, will the phone last for 2 years? I mean it's glass on the front and the back right?
And is the reception and call quality good? Can anyone tell me their experience with this phone so far?

Why you haven't post here : Xperia Z General
I think that the Xperia Z sub-forum is better for a answer than this place

Because more people are around here I think
Is it not allowed?

You can post here, of course, but I'm not sure that you have a good answer to your request.
It was just a suggest

I think Xperia Z can last longer than Samsung and LG
I always fould people have their samsung screen cracked (some people say LG is weak too)
Sony phones are usually harder compared to most other brand (maybe not as hard as Nokia)
still, people usually found that XZ can be scrached easilly.

One problem of XZ is that the battery cannot be removed normally by us
Since you said u're going to use it for two years, i'm afraid the battery may get bad, then u need to pay sony for expensive replace

Yes, it's scratched easy but it has a pre installed screen protector right?

 

[KWOKSFUNG]

Yes, there's screen protector that can be removed. But some found that removing the screen protector will also remove the SONY logo

I actually dont mean that the screen is easy to be scrached, but some other parts of the phone
(Some people tell me about it, I'm not sure which part is it exactly)

I dropped mine pretty hard today, still no scratches or dents but I think I did have a little heart attack though

I prefer a phone that's completely unbranded.

Whenever someone asks me what phone it is I tell them it's a Sony and they're amazed.

Now to get rid of the "Xperia" from the back cover

Removing the pre installed screen protector is the stupidest thing you can do .. It releases all the pressure of the shatter proof glass so now it can crack with the slightest drop ...

It's not hard to apply another screen protector without the Sony logo.

Can't really call it shatter proof glass if it cracks without a screen protector :/

Hmm
You already took it down?? (Well, this is your personal preference. I wont be like u...)
That protector actually have another function...
Sony said that it can reduce internal reflaction of the screen to give a more clear image.

Still, I would recommend u to buy a screen protector yourself.
