Is it not selling in the US? Z3 compact looks like the only phone that kinda doesn't suck, and not too huge (like all the other modern phones today). What is the situation with alternate ROMs for this phone?
I was going to buy an older Nexus 4 (cheap, fast enough, not so huge, updates from Google, no extra crapware), but reconsidered when I tried the original HTC One mini in store: it felt actually nice, even if just a little bit on the biggish side (Nexus 5 is much bulkier). Alas, unlike its' bigger sibling, it's laggy with HTC's own software, doesn't come in Google Play edition, doesn't have stable CyanogenMod ROM and battery life is inadequate (I haven't bothered to learn mad battery saving skillz yet). So I'm considering 'upgrading; to the original HTC One GPE, as a stopgap measure.
How's your experience with Z3 Compact?
- Guillaume86 12y agoNot OP but I also have a Z3C, I'm happy with it atm. There's no alternative roms yet AFAIK but I think it will eventually come as it looks like it will have a big userbase. The only annoying thing is losing DRMs if you unlock the bootloader (degrades low light quality of stock camera, etc), I don't know if it's better with other brands. I didn't had to unlock it for the moment, I have everything I need. Only pain point when switching from Galaxy S2 has been losing full write access to my SD card with Android 4.4 but it's an android problem (see that issue: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=67570 https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=67570).
- pkulak 12y agoI really like it. There's a fair amount of crapware, but it's not too difficult to get rid of. And after that, the hardware is wonderful. Good camera (not fantastic), small, water proof, and two-day battery life.
