Sony acknowledges Xperia Z1 Compact LED flash problem, says the issue affected only a small number of phones

Yep that's what customer service mean.

Of course they will replace it for new ones! Otherwise there is no reason in acknowledging this problem.

HTC never offered replacement for their HTC One X with the constant wifi drop out issue. I got screwed with a faulty one. No matter how good HTC devices may be I will never buy another one of their products because of their lack of support. Manufacturers need to step up when they know they have sold customers devices with known issues.

they do this always
remember xperia s yellow tint issue
they said it will be replaced for free without concerning the time ,

after few weeks they said they no longer will be replacing the display for free

u have to pay, as its the manufacturers defect not from the consumer side
they should have provided free replacement of phone rather then display.

sony is the worst in quality control and sales support

I have to agree with you on that one. Also, what about the overheating issues with the Z1; did they provide a fix and/or replacements?

Apparently this is also a problem for Z1 Compact owners... it has appeared in the forums as well though not to the same recurrence as the bigger Z1...

Z1 Compact have had many issues I am glad I waited... If I get it I will make sure to get a newer revision

By the way... the revision that fixes the Led Bleed apparently is 14W11 and above.

Hope this helps

That not a joke dude ~
That is a geek's review ~

not talking about the review mr. obvious. I am talking about all the BESTS he mentioned. Best screen goes for the s5, build quality goes for s5 and htc one m8, best design One 8, best speakers, again the M8. Sony fans should pray and hope the Z2 won't have the self destruction feature found on the Z, Z1, Z1s and Z compact, at the end of the day, no one wants a bended phone with a cracked glass.

Too bad ~
Z2 wont have the same glass that use on Z1 , Z , Z1 compact ~!
As it have no firm-sheet on above the glass the Z1 , Z , Z1 Compact ~
So no doubt the build quality will be far above the Z1 and the Z series ~
While for the screen , I knw a lot of ppl will prefer AMOLED over IPS, as AMOLED have deep black , which I think ppl will prefer , while the Live LED technology on Z2 Display is going to can let a IPS colour richer than over a normal LCD Display ~
So I think that I can reach or near the S5 Display ~
As for Speaker , will be based on song ~
M8 is more for modern music like pop genre and k-pop genre ~
while Z2 have better and clear sound on classic genre song ~
