A lot of ignorance on this thread, there are phones sold as refurbished that are less than 2 weeks old in UK, you know why? By law once the goods leave the store and the seal is voided it can no longer be sold as new..

And secondly, i wonder who coined the phrase, " London used phones " no be only London dey use phone for UK, other cities do. It's like describing all phones coming from Nigeria as Lagos used phones..

My brother has the Z3 and as far as he is concerned the battery power is something else, you can easily get two days of normal use without engaging stamina mode..

I wish I can give u1,000 likes. Too many ignorant comments here. Someone was even saying refurbished phones are FAKE.. Wtf. Some phones have 30 days return policy and once returned within 30 days they can no longer be sold as new, hence refurbished.

U dey mind the guy? He doesn't know the meaning of the word refurbished yet he keeps using it. Refurbished phones are even better than outright used phones in that they have been tested and possibly repaired if any fault. A used phone is sold the way it is, a refurbished phone is a used phone that has been tested and working like when new. Some people buy new phones with 30 days return policy, that is if they are not satisfied within 30 days they can return it. When they return such phones, they are cleaned and sold as refurbished. In most cases refurbished phones are just like brand new. Also when u buy a brand new phone and u take it for replacement due to factory defect, they are fixed and resold as refurbished. Refurbished phones are not less quality than brand new.
I know people like you without not being tell trying to promote it market look here guy the time london used and refurbish phones have gone affordable have take over imagine i want to buy refurbish LG for N12,000 with6ut no accessories the seller is saying N15,000 last for where Gionee M3 Mini dey hehehehe i just dey laugh una how market anyway are you still selling like before

What is this one saying? What's my business with u buying any phone u wish.. It is ur money not mine. I am just trying to correct the misconceptions some people have about refurbished phones. Refurbished phones are not fake phones. Or do u also call tokubo cars fake cars? Once u buy a product and open the package and remove the seal, then u decide to sell it the next minute, it is no longer new, it has become used. But does that mean it is fake?

Pls bro how good is the htc m7 camera?

U are talking rubbish. Did Sony male a different version of xperia z3? A London used phone is only a term used to describe a fairly jsed phone. That is a phone that was bought brand new and the owner decides to sell after some times of use. What do u mean by not having same specs? This phone was released in September 2014, so it is just over a year old, when u calculate the time it took for the first owner to buy it, then the amount of time it took before it was resold, the amount of time it took before it was shipped to Nigeria and the amount of time it had stayed in the Nigerian market before op buys it, u will realize this phone might not have been used for more than 4-7 months. So it is very rare to find a London used xperia z3 with battery issues. I have used my htc one m7 for 2 full years now and the battery is still very solid I even dash person. Even if it has battery issues, battery can easily be changed by a technician.

The camera is not the best compared to lots of phones out there. Where it shines is in low light without flash. Camera is ok for instagram and facebook pictures, thats about it.

I use this phone. The screen is amazing and the phone is sleek. I have the 2gb white version, no case and the phone still looks like new. Battery life was average but ever since I upgraded to marshmallow battery life has been better, camera is great too. What I hate about the phone is it is terrible at multitasking, it can't just hold 2 apps in memory without reloading especially while browsing. Also there is some occasional lags but it has disappeared with marshmallow upgrade. I normally advice anyone who wants to buy this phone to get the 3gb ram version, that one is better at multitasking.

The Sony Xperia Z3 for me is one of the best premium phones in the market and the best phone I have used so far.I bought mine mid December 2014 and till this minute I have had no regrets.

Features: With 20mega pixels for the camera you will agree with me that has to be one great camera for a phone and true it is,check out the pictures below they were taken using the z3 with different camera modes. Initially you might find this a tad challenging I mean adjusting the camera modes to suit a particular picture setting but with time you will get a hang of it.

The battery was great, still great compared to other phones I have owned for the same duration. For the first couple of months I had it, I was able to use the phone for over 24 hours but that has reduced now to somewhere around 18hours which we can all agree is due to how long I have had it.

Gaming is great on the phone I have played different car race games, adventure games etc and I have never experienced any lag while playing those games. Sound quality is great you have the bonus of an app called "Track ID" identifies whatever music is playing around you be it on the phone or in the room you in.

As for the screen, I have had the phone fall a couple of times but not from a height higher than my waist and being that I have a protective casing the screen has never had any form of a crack or been broken.

The only thing I have changed on the phone is the Micro Usb cover flap. This was last month and cost about 7.95 pounds(ordered from ebay). It is important to state here that without closing the Micro Usb flap would mean the phone losing its waterproof capability others would have ignored it but I took the choice of changing it. Why would some persons not change it, this could be because having a faulty Micro Usb flap does not prevent one from operating the phone unlike breaking your screen that hampers ones ability to use the phone.

Would I buy it again? yes I would, for me I see it as the cheaper version of the Sony Xperia Z5 that was released a year after the Z3

No what I use is not as strong as the devil's case as you can see from the pictures but it sure covers the screen of the phone with a magnetic holder to keep the cover in place.

Am pretty sure one can make an order for it from Amazon. Got to warn you it's pricey like £37.

My Chairman... How is the sound output in your Z3...I have to strain my hears to hear a call and the music is low too..

Is it just naturally low or is there any settings to tweak?

the music quality is very loud n great. update your Sony Walkman player. If the output is still low then may be something is wrong with your phone

I faced the same issue as well. Check your ringer volume and set it to the maximum level if you have not already and make use of loud ring tones on the phone like "Jet set" and probably set the vibration while ringing to "on" too.
