I similarly ended up with a Sony Z3 Compact. The ultra stamina mode is excellent. It shuts off all extraneous circuitry and you have to reboot to start up again. Meanwhile you're left with a minimalist greyscale screen with essential functions and a estimate of battery left. It's too optimistic I think but it will happily tell you there's ten days charge left on ultra stamina mode if you started with a full battery.
- wlesieutre 12y agoMe three! The camera and flashlight are disappointing (my 3 year old 4S was brighter), but aside from that I really like the Z3C. I'm not exaggerating to say I've gotten 3 days of battery life without touching Stamina Mode or Ultra Stamina Mode.
- john_other 12y agoI've gotten more use out of my compact than my surface pro 2, ffrom day one. I think this little phone is more usable and certainly faster for browsing. ( opera for word wrap rules!) and I simply feel it's faster, renders faster, LTE when I have signal better than consumer FTTC ! Not having wanted a android phone particularly ... a Lumia seemed right for my use and Microsoft centric world... I didn't lose the great maps just downloaded Nokia Here , still have office and one note... And outlook. Oh and I got Opera browser which is for word wrap just indispensable.. All in all a bargain. But I really am almost using this phone for every task but design and code so I've not gotten more than a day and a half yet... Still amazing for it being picked up constantly and running about five apps simultaneously standard .. and I got it on a wicked deal bundling 20GB data so I'm in clover! I feel bad like I'm shilling especially as I forgot my older login here but it's such a neat package all I want is a sweet little repl with loads of libraries and great auto predict to play with this thing...
