Switch smartphone for a Xperia z3 compact - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have actually a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2. It is a good smartphone but with a bad battery life. With normal use (web, < 1h video, < 1h game) I have 4-5h SOT.
I wanted to know if I could hope for a better SOT with Xperia z3 compact ?
I have the impression that SOT on KitKat is better than on Lollipop, is it true ?
Thanks to answer.

I never get less than 8h SOT, but I'm very careful with background apps that can drain battery. Stock Lollipop.

Nice, I heard that on lollipop the battery life was less than on kitkat, true for you ?
In any case, surely my next smartphone !

Sorry I can't tell, I don't have experience with kitkat on this device.

Z3C has very good battery life on any OS, be it KK, LP or MM

The baterry is performing great, don't bother.

Only thing I don't like in Nexus 6 is the size and camera

It is what it is, 6 inch is never small and the camera is OK with sufficient light. Better look for the new 5X. its smaller and has a better camera.

Better relation between quality and price in Nexus 6. Atleast in Europe.

In answer to your question, personally, yes I think the Nexus 6 is still a good option. As a matter of fact, I just bought a Google Motorola Nexus 6 (2014) off Amazon.com last month (December 2015) for $250 + Tax and I love it. I know the camera isn't the best, there's NO fingerprint scanner, and its only 32-bit instead of 64-bit like the Nexus 5x, but for me, the overall performance, the QHD screen, front facing speakers, VoLTE (especially for T-Mobile), stock android with timely android updates and more makes for a really cool phablet. And I mean phablet, this phone is big, but not as big as my previous daily driver the Huawei Ascend Mate 2. Hope my answer helps.

Do keep in mind, my Nexus 6 is rooted running stock rom and I use greenify, so my battery life is good for me, I have the notification LED (have to root and buy an app to get), I use Nova Launcher with double tap to sleep through an app. It's all in what you want in a smartphone and more so, what you don't want. To me, this time around on buying a new smartphone, it was simple, it had to be a Nexus. With my budget, it came down to the Nexus 6 vs Nexus 5x. I feel like I made a good choice especially for the money, but I haven't used the camera while sightseeing yet. It should be fine.

I just bought my Nexus 6 about 3 months ago. It was my first Nexus device, but even after this short anount of time I can say pretty firmly that I will never buy another phone that isn't a Nexus! Stock battery life on Marshmallow has been great compared to the Note 4 that I had before this. In addition, stock, unbloated Android is truly a work of art that you should experience at least one. Also, it is a big phone but you will definitely get used to the size after a few days. I'm not sure if Swappa is available in your country, but I got my Nexus 6 off of Swappa for $220 a few months ago. Worth every penny IMO and renewed my love of Android.

I love stock Android also. Have a S3 and that's all what I want. A stock Android. What is really stopping me from buying a Nexus 6 is the size . If fit in my pockets that will not be a problem. I have a 4,8' phone and I really wanted a big phone!

My 200$ N6 may be.
Only defects are poor grade AMOLED display(not a expression. it's a cheap module.) and finishing.

what MM rom to pick? battery life and stability

I'm still on LP but want to move to MM
With me going on a 3 week trip without my laptop getting a stable rom is critical.
Looking into the best mm rom + kernel for stability and battery life.
Any suggestions?
P.S.
If any xda members are in chicago detroit toronto ill be traveling there soon
Stock is always good! Personally, I am on the MID MM ROM rooted with Skyhigh v2.7 kernel and xposed for greenify etc. Very stable indeed (no funny business at all). And great battery life

What about MM for T810

Hey,
Do you know when T810 will receive marshmallow?
Any idea?

The only ones who know would be Samsung. I find it rather odd that they haven't released it yet though. I get that we get the 815 one week and the 715 and 710 another. But where is our 810?
Yeah, I'm like, checking every day, thinking wtf...
Here it is! Samsung has red our post ?
