Dear Z1 Compact users,
Today I stumbled on the bad news that the back of the Xperia Z1 Compact isn't (dragontrail/gorilla) glass like the original Z1. It's plastic. These websites explain this issue:
- http://www.phonearena.com/news/Does-...tead-of-a-glas...
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=50148656
If you still don't believe it, you can even see it in this breakdown video:

- Here's a link to some obvious pictures: http://habrahabr.ru/company/vilianov_inc/blog/211687/
So Sony isn't only using cheaper materials for the Z1 Compact, but they also edited the white paper AFTER the Z1 Compact was released (The first white paper version said the back had tempered glass, but the second version - edited on February the 6th - didn't mention the back anymore, which clearly indicates that the back isn'tglass!). So Sony actually ripped off the first buyers by telling them they had tempered glass at the back of their phone, but instead it's plastic!
But as if this news isn't bad enough: The original Z1 Compact, the Z1f, which was only released in Japan, apparently DOES have glass at the back. My Japanese isn't that good, so I Google translated the Z1f page:
http://www.sonymobile.co.jp/xperia/d...gn/design.html
"Combination of metal frame which gave anodized and rear glass of jet black with the depth , gives a high-quality brightness with the accent .
The combination of the metal frame and the back glass shine pure, I will produce a freshness along with the relaxed atmosphere."
This was taken from the official Japanese website and although the translation is bad, I think it is totally clear that the Japanese Z1f users DO get the premium glass version of the phone and the other countries get the inferior plastic version.
Very sneaky, Sony.
