xperia z3 D6603 concern over gaps between glass and frame.

[utsavshah]

Hello,

I recently upgraded my ion to z3. And there is no doubt that it's an amazing phone.

But I have some concerns regarding the small gaps between glass panel and metal frame. It gets dust and more over that I am worried about its waterproofing. I want to know is it normal for all z3 out there or is it just me? What if it can't handle water in this regard?

There are some pictures.

I think its normal because my phone gets dust between the glass and frame at the back,  and the front. My phone is waterproof. But if you have any doubts,  contact sony and ask for them to do a vacuum test.

Okay. But I don't know if there is any service center near San Francisco.

I don't see anything wrong with those pictures
Looks just like mine. It's not 100% Centered So only your OCD will be affected

This subject has been mentioned many times before, from the Z all the way thru the models up to the Z3.......you have to have some uniform gap between the panels & the bezel...this is to allow some form of expansion due to temp changes, if you think about it.......if it was packed tight & the phone heats up the expansion would have nowhere to go resulting in damage. The gaps do not mean that you have a waterproof issue either.....

Hope this helps :smileysmileythumbsup:
