Aluminum frame

[MevoX]

The aluminum frame is bend on the back side where magnetic charging and power button are. If I press it a bit, the gap between the frame and plastic back side disappears. Is this little gap enough so the phone would sieze to be waterproof?

Hi,

Don't worry. My phone has the same gap. It acts the same and the gab has 0,2 mm. I'had noticed this on many detailed pictures on some www sites in their test and reviev about superb quality build. I think this doesnt affect the waterproffness.

If you want i can upload few pictures, but unfortunatly tomorrow.

Btw, this is my 4th z1 compact - 3rd replacement. 1st - screen crackling, 2nd - wrong flaps, not matching the aluminium frame, 3rd - vibration issue :). So, as you see, you should be happy. It alway may be worse then that. This superb build quality and SONY's way of anderstanding "premium devices"

I have the same gap. I tested it and it is still waterproof. I hope it wont be a problem in the following days.

By the way, can you take a picture of it? I think this gap is a very bad problem.

HI Harveyj88,
I got the replacement becouse I had 14 days to do it without giving a reason (sony store online preorder - 1st phone. Btw. It was screen crackling, not cracking. (strange old-phone like noise).
My pics of the gap will be uploaded tomorow. Becouse of the gap phone looks like 6 months old - it's hard to clean and it gathers dust and skin pieces easly in there. Premium build quality...
I'm tired asking for replacements. It is April now, and I still have to worry about January preorder purchase. This is pathetic...
