Had the z1s when it was released
Was awesome
Waterproof(tested it by dropping it in a 3 ft hot tub)
I thought it was funny that the s6 is barely now waterproof when I had the z1s like 6 years ago and they're advertising it like its a breakthrough now
Extremely sturdy and durable
I carry my phone without cases
Dropped it more than 50 times and still perfect condition
The display was extremely bright and clear
The volume was moderate
Fast but some hiccups here and there
Not often to where it bothered me
Battery was GREAT w/ some adjustments in developer mode
One thing I learned having that phone for 4 years was that I really really hate carrying a big phone of that size
It's heavy and when I multitask(doing things while holding phone) it can be extremely bothersome
Very annoying to pull out a phone of that size while sitting down, driving, or doing anything really
I didn't get a belt clip cause personal preference
I have an iPhone 6 now and it's almost the perfect size
Perfect in length but maybe .25 inch less wide for my thumb to reach all the way across would be perfect
I'm at a point where specs don't matter to me anymore
I can't tell the difference between a dual core or octacore phone
I have a dslr w/ me majority of the time so I don't need a good camera on it
Also have a gopro w/ me majority of the time as well
Now what I look for in a phone is ability for
Text
Calls
Emails
Ease of Use
Surf Web
Watch Videos (Netflix, youtube, crunchyroll, ETC)
Video calls/conferences
Portable size(ease of multitasking w/ phone in hand, ease of pulling out of pockets, etc)
Waterproof is of course a HUGE bonus
That's just me though
I dont care about the actual specs such as processor and stuff
I have big hands and the phone size won't bother me. Thanks for giving your thoughts. Its nice to know the z1 was such a great phone for you. I just have zero experience with Sony phones
