Should I take a Sony xperia z1

I plan to take the Sony XPERIA z1 soon, but I've heard that there are a lot of software problems, so I am interested in whether it is worth it to take?

Same as me, start I like the phone (my currently dream set) & buy it 1 month ago. After facing below few issue,

-The set easy getting hot.

-Battery drain fast.

The major one was auto rebooting, already send to service center twice. First time come back, same thing happen again. Now waiting the second time repair. Others spec of the set is OK, my freind also buy this Z1 but he only face the above minor 2 issue. It's all depending what you thing, lucky set you get is ok, bad same as mine droping in the service center. I'm really feeling bad................ Hope you got a good set.

  1. you don't have to create multiple threads
  2. I don't have any issues with my Xperia Z1
  3. At the end of the day its up to you to either buy it or not, one thing I would suggest is to buy a scratch resistant film to be applied AS SOON AS YOU buy the phone or any phone, make sure its for both sides 

You can check the film protector I got for my phone here

the great thing to apply it as soon as you buy a phone is that you don't need to get the phone wet nor soap nor anything like that, it will stick just fine

I really like this phone and it has everything I want in a smartphone. It will cost me about $600 to get it which is a pretty hefty purchase. I have been reading reviews, feedback, Q/A, support forums about the Sony Xperia Z1. I have seen a large number of users reporting touchscreen, heating, and camera issues some even say random glass cracking??! I have been looking at the 6903 version but now I'm worried and hesitated. Should I move on to a different device? Are all these problems affecting most users?

Please give me any advice/information before I make a mistake

Have had no problems with mine, had it since beginning of November. easily get a full day on battery (12-15hrs depending on usage). Recently ran mine for 8 hrs solid with Google navigation running and it didn't get any where near as hot as my old HTC Sensation.
