Is it safe to use my sony xperia sola USB cable for my new Xperia Z1 Compact ?

Thanks

Yes,you can use that for transferring data,but if you want to charge using the same adapter as your old sola's,it will charge a lot slower.

Thanks alex

I wouldnt use the sola usb cable with the charging adapter.

but I might use it to charge the Z1 compact via my computer USB port.

I had to ask because I read on some blogs that using USB cables of a different phone even if it fits

might damage the battary life.

Thanks again

No,if it is micro usb and it is also sony,I do not think you will experience any problems.But your Z1 did not come with USB cable?

It is always recommended to use the accesories that came with the phone,but overall yes,you can use any usb cables from sony(even from older devices).
