Can't really say I've noticed it myself, there's been a few times when navigating PH on it, if I'm say, selecting a new page on a thread, a little zoomed in pop-up will appear so I can select the right option more easily.

Thats just a standard feature of Android I think.

Recently bought an experia z ultra - huge but I love it.
I'm considering one too. Especially for the price they're going at now.

Did you get one in the end?

Just posted in another thread but I have a Z3 Compact and I'm very impressed with it. Not sure why people are complaining about the camera as I think it's nothing short of fantastic, much better than the iPhone offerings. Great in low-light as well.

Happily used mine in the shower and in the bath with no major problems, the touchscreen's a little unresponsive when everything's wet but that's understandable.

Battery life is extremely good, mine's lasted about 3 days now with light usage (music to and from work and the odd text/phone call during the day) and has over 30% battery life left.

I've dropped it once or twice but nothing's broken, it feels like it's built quite solidly. I'm impressed.

Be wary of the waterproofing claims. I'd dunked my Z3 loads of times without issue, but when I took it swimming water found its way in - despite not having opened any of the covers (magnetic charger etc) for months. Rice dried it out, but it took several weeks before the watermarks went from the screen.

After that experience I'd treat it as water resistant, particularly after all the stories online of people who had similar experiences and got told to do one by Sony as they suggested the covers weren't properly closed.

I didn't get one as my brother updated to an iPhone 6 so I took his Galaxy S3 to use with my business SIM.

The cheapest I've seen it is with Expeditelectronics for £202, it has since gone up to £219.

I have just upgraded from a Z1 to a Z3, much the same as a Z1, but just a bit betterm battery life is really great, genuine two day phone with decent use.

I got the Ultra from Expedite a few weeks ago. Camera aside, it's a fantastic phone. Amazing screen and fast too. Recommend it.
