Sony Z3 Compact - The best little Android in the universe

[ScottulusMaximus]

My z3c was shipped today by Orange, should receive it tomorrow

Hahahahahahahahahaha

No

No

Well if he received the Fedex shipping notice from Orange it would be overnight which would mean he would actually receive it tomorrow.
If it is simply the order confirmation it would be a little longer

So those of you that already have this phone, what is your favorite feature?

Any tips that you can share?

I love the "double tap" to wake up the screen from sleep feature (you can enable it under settings -> display -> tap to wake up) . This way you don't need to stretch around to reach for for the power button.

I've also set it to switch off the display when double tapping on the home screen using screen lock app.

Screen lock:

For double tap to lock, are you using a 3rd party launcher or can this be done with the stock launcher?

Forgot to mention - Im using a 3rd party launcher (Nova prime). I installed nova as soon as I got the phone so not sure if it is possible with stock launcher.

The Sony interface isn't like Samsung. It's actually half decent.

Most definitely. Sony's interface is much better than touch-whack. I just install nova (and some other apps e.g. tasker, swiftkey etc) to keep the experience consistent across my devices.

I always use Nova Launcher but since I got the Z3 Compact I don't see the need.

Double tap to wake comes with the stock ui, I use it permanently. Such a great little addition

It's the little things in life that truly makes it great.

Wish I had it on my gold S5!!

So far 6 hours of Screen On time.

I can't remember if it was Sony or LG that did it first, but it definitely wasn't the G3 that had it first.

Anyways, can't you enable it somehow on your GOLD S5 through an app or custom ROM?

Yeow! Just received my phone, so excited to use it! The only thing I can comment on so far is the build quality, and coming from an s4, this feels far better! It's better than I expected... Got it on charge, will set it up later and play around!
