Sorry for my speech, please, I don't know English and I'm using a machine translator.

1. Is it true that the buttons to adjust the volume level and start the camera is made of plastic or something else, but not of aluminum? Our Sony mobile in Russia may not know many things, unfortunately.
2. Whether charging stations DK30/DK31 for Z1 Compact?
3. Is it true that the rear panel of the telephone is not made of glass, but of plastic?

Whitepapers says that DK31 very suitable for Z1 Compact. So on the one website I read that Sony mobile said that the rear panel is made of high quality plastic, like glass.

Thank you!

The volume rocker is made out of plastic. The frame and on/off key is made out of aluminum.

The docking station to use for Xperia Z1 Compact is DK32.

The rear panel is made out of glass.
The rear panel is made of rigid plastic.

Interested in the moment with displays. Two sources talk about the various displays Z1 f and put the image. Here is one source - xperiablog.net , and the second one -

Z1 f black and white

Tell me please, why in one model of phone are 2 different panels from different manufacturers? And will there be any difference in the displays of Z1 Compact?

Hello Johan and other managers,

I would like to know the following:

Is it possible to use the microUSB port WHILE the phone is charging with the dock DK32?

I want to know this, because I use my current Acro S plugged to the TV a lot, and the HDMI port can be accessed while docked. Also the microUSB serves for USB OTG and MHL... and having those features while connected to a TV is a big plus, since it turns the phone more like a computer...

- Is this phone compatible with PS Controllers?

- Is there support for .srt or other subtitle files in the Movies app (current version of my Acro S does not support subtitle)?

- Does the Z1 also brings the nice Anti-Shatter film on the screen (and on the back)?

Great post Johan, I know there are certain aspects that Sony won't reveal but

  1. Are both pannels made of the same glass?
  2. Is it tempered glass or dragontrail or gorilla glass (1, 2 ,3)?
  3. Does it has an ASF (anti-shatter film)?
  4. If yes to ASF, is it the same film as the Z1, Z, etc or is it scratch resistant?

Hi,

All the previews mentioned QI wireless charging, but it isn't on the product specs - does it support wireless charging?

If not, will an official magnetic charge cable be included in the box or available seperately? (without having to buy and dismantle the dock as people have done for the z1).

Thanks!
