updated, cheers
not as good as the deal from it estate tho, not a bad price i guess. Hopefully screen cracking issue isn't in this model.
less than $100 extra for Au stock plus 24 months of warranty instead of just 1, it's totally up to you
i cant seem to find the 2 year warranty on the site are u sure about that?
pretty sure, MSY dont sell grey import Sony phones.
Probably good to confirm the exact version of this model, to make sure it is the Australian one. Otherwise it may not support the newer 4G bands.
MSY always sells Au stock Sony smartphones, same as the Z1 and Z Ultra deals back then
The Xperia's are hit and miss phones (lots of known faults) and the service from Sony is absolute $hit.
Caveat emptor
My Z2 magnetic charger is stuffed. And the battery doesn't seem to hold a good charge.
Other than that it feels well made.
Sounds about right - great product hey!
The product I found is pretty good but should it develop an issue or develop a known issue - good luck getting it repaired.
they are very hit and miss, got the z1 and z3, and no issues currently
battery on z3 is great, two days easydoes overheat a bit i must say!
Fingers crossed the heat doesn't cause the screen to crack;

I kind of agree, but my experience with other brands has been the same, including LG. My LG phone was unstable, and received no more updates shortly after being released.
I have a Sony Z1 - truly fantastic photos (when the camera app does not crash…), especially with HDR support. Great screen, great stability and performance. I can get 3 days out of a battery (low usage) or 2 days (frequent usage).
As for support: I reported the camera crash issue, which is known to be a global issue across the Z1/Z2/Z3 range, but support wouldn't touch it as my phone is grey-import.
I would probably buy Sony again, because the camera is really good and that matters to me. But apart from that, I'd consider a <$200 Chinese phone with the same snapdragon 800 chipset.Agreed, their all fairly fragile little computers we're carrying around.
However the after sales support I experienced from Sony was something else, I'll be very reluctant to buy another, despite being good value phones.
I've owned original Z and now have a Z3 and both have been excellent phones so far.
The Z still powers really strong today.
IMO the Z3 is the best flagship Android phone at the moment overall when you take into account the screen, battery life, camera and specs.
I just hope I never have to deal with any warranty support during my ownership… Going by other people's experience.
"Z3 is the best flagship Android phone at the moment"
…it's only got battery life going for it; there are many others that trump it on those other factors you've listed.
Also the Sony software is bloated with useless apps, e.g. Small Apps.
Hence why I said it's my opinion.
You're welcome to yours as well.
I don't mind other brand phones but have a personal dislike for anything Samsung branded.
Oh OK.
I was interested in your opinion and was hoping that you could try to justify your opinion. Nm
Better to get a z3 compact for that price
Link to Z3 compact local stock for under $400?
Not under 400 lol. But for about 70 bucks more u can get the the latest compact model from uniquemobiles
I'd be a bit wary of Unique Mobiles. They take ages to process an order and sometimes items are sold when there's no stock.
I'd go with DWI for more reliable service.
I bought and paid for this item on Sat, got an email today saying it was RMA and was being sent for repairs. Not happy as I bought a case and tough screen protector for it on Sunday.
So I have a case mate barely there case, brand new. paid $20, selling for $14 - includes shipping.
PM me.
