Replacement work phone choices

Post by smithcorp »

I have three work phone options to replace my Galaxy S3 I'm considering. Which would you choose?

Samsung Galaxy S 4 with 4G CAT4

Samsung Galaxy S 4 Mini (4G)

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (4G)

As a bit of a Samsung fan, I'd strongly suggest the Sony if it's a work phone.

Waterproof, has covers for all the external connection points.

Hmm, I considered the Sony an outsider, but it is looking good on reviews.

If you don't need the 5" display of the S4, for me the Sony wins hands down, better camera, later generation and higher clocked CPU, more memory than the S4 compact, IP58 certified, it's really a generation newer phone over the S4 models.

Nope Pix - I have a list of $0 phones I can choose from and that's not on our list. I ordered the Z1 and IT called me to say out of stock, so they are giving me the Z3 compact instead (still at $0 cost thankfully).

Was just reading about the Z3 compact and it gets a good review here.

It came yesterday - very nice. Takes a little getting used to compared with the S3.

I wonder how far off the Z4 compact is? Seems Sony get these things out pretty damn quickly.
