Z3 Compact added to FNB Smart Devices section on their website. Listed at R360.
Only R39 less than MTN MyChoice 100 offer without the minutes/sms/data. Meh..
Been looking at the Z4 Specs http://www.stuff.tv/sony/sony-xperia-z4/review

How is this bad?
As now for example, if I was a Samsung person the S5 is 6months old, so if I was upgrading now I wouldn't look at it. I'd look at the Note 4 instead.
Having phones at different times of the year is awesome. So regardless of when you upgrade you always have something new and better.
True true. Progress is always good but with the current pace of technology, buyers remorse is kicks in pretty quick nowadays.
I've not even got the Z3 in my hands yet and the z4 will be announced in 2 months... other flagships usually have a 1 year release cycle.
I know it's futile to chase the latest and greatest tech since it's always a moving target.

The thing is, the Note 4 is not a S5 successor, the two are differentiated; one is a compact and waterproof smartphone made for the masses, the other is a Phablet with a more sophisticated design, made for a smaller market.
The Notes get better hardware for two reasons, they are Samsung's premium products and they come later in the year. If the Note 4 came same time as S5 it would also have a S801 chip. There is on S flagship and Note flagship a year.
On the other hand with Xperia Zs, they have 2 flagships a year, an early year flagship then a direct successor later that year e.g. Z - Z1 (2013), Z2 - Z3 (2014). If Sony just did a smartphone and phablet it would be better.
In fact, you know what would be great? Sony do a Compact at CES, then a Z flagship at MWC, then a Z Ultra at IFA, or both a Z Compact and Z at MWC then Z Ultra at IFA, that would help consumers keep up with their products and people wouldn't worry about a successor 6months later.
HTC have done a great job of upgrading once a year and keeping their portfolio small, they are now out the red and in the black financially.
I wouldn't buy the Z4, (size) but if Sony introduces a Z4 Compact in March then I'll buy it. I normally upgrade twice a year, anyway, but am prepared to hold on to the Z3C if there's no upgrade 'til next September.

Compared to the Note 4? Yes.
Ordered a hand-made leather case from Germany...expensive but it's the best case I've tried for the Z3C:
Really???

Premium phones, get premium covers
And premium earphones - the RHA T10i pictured aren't my best pair but still pretty good.

I understand that, but then at least get something that looks good.
It's the best looking case there is, from the best company. I haven't seen any photos of your Z3C and case. You probably have to spend too much money on personal security in SA to afford one

He wouldn't know what good looks like if it hits him in the face. Just ignore.
Well, I was a bit rude to him but we've clashed before with his saying how good it all is in SA compared with Scotland.
The case was expensive for a case (£30) but it does come with a 2 year guarantee - any problems and they'll ship another one out from Germany. My previous case I was annoyed by how it opened, (it flips down, doesn't open like a book) but good for a backup.

I don't have a Z3c. I have a upgrade waiting but don't see the point in getting anything else. My Note3 does what I need.
And anyway, why do you always have to bring up how ****ty SA is when you reply to my posts? As if I don't know it.
If you don't know what to say then just don't reply at all.
To get back to your pictures, I don't know if it's the cover or the colour of your phone that puts me off the most.
One thing I have to add is that when looking at it I can see that there is some foreign influence. And that not meant in a good way.
Says the one with the gold wallpaper.
What do you mean by foreign influence? And why do you post in this thread, anyway, if you have no interest in the Z3C or its accessories?
