naka z1 compact din po ba kayo sir?

konti palang ba user ng z1c dito?
For me this is the best android phone available in the market in terms of its size ,specs , design and durability. very handy dahil sa size nya saktong sakto lang with a monster specs and a 20.7 Megapixel camera and IP58 certification(dust and water proof) . It seems that sa ibang bansa and dito rin mostly sa philippines mas mahal ang z1 compact sa z1 I dunno if its because of the IPS display or baka dahil bagong labas or what ...

You can buy z1 Compact here in philippines from WidgetCity, KimStore and other online stores . Im having a hard time on finding cases and as well as screen protectors from the malls at manila hahahaha even sa mga sony stall sa mall wala pa silang z1 compact device.
yung mga may z1 compact dyan san kayo nakabili ng case?

Re: Sony Xperia Z1c (Xperia Z1 Compact)

Tama TS..sakto sakto lang sa panlasa talaga, gusto ko man mag Z1s kaso nalalakihan na ako sa 5 inch e, 4.3 - 4.6 inch lang talaga trip ko. Hehe.
Sa KimStore ako kumuha may kamahalan pa pero ayos lang perfect phone for me. Main phone ko ito.

Nag add ako ng 16GB class 10 microSD card, bitin kasi 16GB internal storage since na mababawasan pa yun. About sa case wala din e. Wala ako mahanap kahit sa Star mall. Haha!
