Using it for about 1 year. Battery life is a beast. 2 days with moderate use on a single charge. Works well with japanese sim card (when I travel). Hard to find any fault with the phone.

Went 2 weeks reservist left the phone at home > came back to see > phone battery left 15%. 2 weeks on standby (no simcard, bluetooth, wlan) still alive. The only thing I find it uncomfortable is sometime the screen is glitchy, sometime press the bottom icons something else come out instead, e.g. Call turns into calendar. But like 5% occurrence rate? I am not seeing any point in upgrading to Z2 play.

totally agree! using z play and the batt is supeer good. just wondering how z2 fare?

that's not a valid build number...your set is same as mine...China phone aka XT1653-03 (see the bottom left hand side of the phone to see the actual model number) but someone flashed the official English region ROM on it. Currently there's no way to update to the latest China/English version unless you unlock the bootloader, which will break Moto Mods support, Android Pay and also cause Netflix and some banking apps to not run.

Battery bloated. Sian. Is the service centre located at AMK? Any other location?
