I switched last week from my Samsung Galaxy S2 on the Z3 Compact. Why? My SGS2 has kept brave 4 years, but the battery was recently extremely weak, the Blutooth car is repeatedly demolished the Navi function ha stopped working and it was ultimately very dingy. And 4 years for Smartphone are are ok, as I find from Lebenzysklus ago. Sure it would have held another year, but I wanted to also again treat ourselves. After careful research, which began in December 2014 and zealous read along here, then I am finally decided compact for Z3.
Hardware
First thought at opening: Is the part beautifully. And the size? Perfect. I do not like phablets. Basically, I so wanted to have the successor of Nexus5, but unfortunately I was too big. Processing is flawless in my model. The day before yesterday then the part I fell down from about 30cm on the parquet floor 'nothing. No scratches, no crack. Very good. I know that 30cm are not too high, but I'm still glad that nothing happened without the protective cover and I hope that I will not belong to the candidate, where a glass breakage will occur without assistance.
My z3c is black 'that is, one sees more clearly etc. greasers, but I personally do not really care.
The only decline from SGS2 'Regarding hardware' is probably only the display: The black was the AMOLED screen from SGS2 easy rich 'no na ^^.
Really nice is the notification light. I've never had and they like me totally.
Slightly weaker the the camera LED will turn out as the SGS2 'as a flashlight but still very well usable.
Myself as left-handers it would be the way that particularly the volume buttons on the right side of the device are 'the SGS2 I always had to embrace cumbersome to change the volume during a call. This is now quite ergonomically.
Camera
I've got a digital camera, but for snapshots I use sometimes the phone and this is just fine. Positive surprised I am especially on the fast tripping. In practice, the camera button also. More I've nothing more to say.
Accumulator
Because most people are mentioned here as a separate sub-item on battery details. He holds and holds and holds' at least Staminamodus.
Images to: [...]
Only complain I have, that the WLAN apparently attracts quite a lot of power with me 'I have to watch yet and will report accordingly.
Software
Everything runs fast and super. Unfortunately, the stock Launcher a Google search bar on the home screen is turned surges. Property me therefore Nova Launcher Prime and brought it all comes down very well with it.
The device comes with quite a lot of bloatware, therefore, but most can be turned off 'the rest I hide just with the launcher and you're done: A perfectly tidy mobile. Annoy Me Do, however, only the Small Apps bar and the bar Whats New 'bekomm also not going away, see below.
Problems / Questions
Unfortunately, there are a few teething problems. On the first day, the phone has yet pulled middle of the night by itself (the battery) 'got it with 20% lying down (WLAN on, no Staminamodus) and from it was in the morning. Did the phenomenon can no longer be observed, however:
Is WLAN active overnight, the battery is empty faster than Wi-Fi disabled. Have the settings to default 'here anyone has an idea why this is so?
Next, the wireless behaving strangely in Google Chrome. All other app communicate good with my router at home, but Chrome and depends on and builds the page is not on 'if I then turn off the WLAN and again, then it goes again. My girlfriend with her Nexus 5 and Chrome have the same experience. Does anybody advice?
One problem's still:
Can not operate the PC via the ADB mobile ', the device is simply not found. The ADB I would like to remove the Small Apps bar and Whats New Ring. Tips? Or falling after the Lollipop update anyway flat?
Conclusion:
Bottom line, I am very happy and never regret buying.
