I was very excited at the idea of buying the Z5 compact to replace my iPhone 5s. I had been wanting for a while to get out of the Apple environment for several reasons, but I also don't want a phone larger than 5".
As a result, the Z5 Compact seemed the most natural choice to make. I had read about the overheating issues of the processor that Sony chose to equip the smartphone, but all the hands on reviews that I read before buying it mentioned that the phone remained within acceptable temperatures.
Well, let me tell you that the one that I bought yesterday get hot, and gets hot fast. Within 10 minutes of using it, while I was just setting it up a couple of email accounts and downloading a few apps, the phone got so hot that it made my hands sweat (and you don't want that with this phone as it's back is quite slippery even with dry hands...)
I tried to get familiar to it for 24 hours, but no matter what I do (and so far I haven't even done anything heavy on it), within 5 to 10 minutes the phone gets hot (and I do mean hot, not just warm)
So that's it, on Monday it'll go back to the shop where I bought it, which moreover does not offer full refund but just a voucher of the value of the phone...
I'm kicking myself for believing all these hands on reviews and being just too optimistic...
