Sony Xperia Phones?

IFeaRZz

I need a few of you guys opinions for phones.. 

Currently someone I'm quite close to is debating between the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and Xperia M4 

They don't want any other brand as they're quite loyal to the brand.

Just wondering which would be the better option because I've got no idea I know the M4 is newer but the Z1 supports better specs on the sheets.

The lack of possible software support is a big thing for me with the Z1 Compact or I'd suggest that to them all the way but I want a second opinion.

Thanks in advance.

M4

 

It's the fact the M4 is plastic which gets me a little ruffled.

The specs also ain't the best it'd seem.

I don't think the Z Ultra is available at the moment off the carrier as it's a contract upgrade.

I know, sorry about that but they're buying it tomorrow and need a good audience to basically see about which one to get.

that doesnt matter

I bought the phone off sonys website when it was like 800 dollars, you can buy it now for like 250

I own the Z2 which is more or less the same as the Z1. Its an amazing phone my only complaint is the glass back on it which isn't that durable.

Personally I'm swinging them towards the Z1 Compact but the phone providers trying to shove the M4 down their throat.

I've had the Z2, currently got a HTC One M8 & Z3... Both phones are top phones I must say.

That's not too bad the screen is a bit too big however that's the main reason for them having the compact variant of the phone I guess, small hands!

I really think that you can't go wrong with either option.

I might have a look into that as a personal phone I'm rocking the HTC One M8 & Z3 personally which mostly I use the M8 for music as the built in 2.5 Watt amp is a beauty for music and the Z3 as a standard usage phone for browsing. :')

The only things I like about the Z1 is the screen has better DPI and stuff like that the hardware specs are allot more comfortable considering my phones both use the 801.

Z1 is definitely better than the M4. even the physical attributes, the Z1 will be more durable to wear and scratch than the M4.
