Screen flickering/blinking Xperia Z1

[Felini]

Sometimes my display flickers for a few seconds, doesnt mater where I am on screen, I noticed it mainly in call logs/calling, chrome, home screen and messages. It's nothing major and it's kinda weird flicker, like anti aliasing lines or something like that. And it happens mainly in dimmed light conditions. On the whole screen, not any specific part/corner.

After few seconds it goes away and it doesn't happen all the time, nor constantly.

Did anybody noticed it on their phone? Could it be software or hardware related? I'm on 4.4.4 kitkat and the phone is week old. It was already in water for tests but everything was properly sealed, doesn't have any fall damage etc., I take good care of stuff.

Any help is appreciated.

I have the same problem and I noticed that is only occurred while Xperia Z1 is trying to make a call and using GSM network only
It's occurred while phone is trying to place a connection with GSM "the old network mode"
I tried to update the software via cable to version kitkat
And the problem is not solved
Please I want the support to give an advice if it must be returned to the agent for replacement or repair or if you have a solution to tell me to do, thanks

@kosho - If you have tried all of the sugestions on the previous page and still have the same issue then I would advise contacting your local  Xperia Care team to have an assessment arranged.

Send it to Sony or your local service. Or vendor where you bought it, he will send it for you, it's a hardware problem, I got it fixed that way (i'm the OP). That is your only option if you want to get rid of it.
