If the battery size between 1700 mAh and 2000 mAh, I advise you to get it.
If more than 2000, no.

Consider that charging period will increase as well.

A 3600 mAh battery like the Mugen one does really give you an extra day. Smaller batteries don't guarantee that.

Weight and size.

as netizenmt mentioned, weight and size are factors to consider. a buddy of mine has the extended batteries and they're thick. if you have a leather case it'll be quite a challenge to close it...let alone use the case snaps to clamp on the sides of the phone. given that the play is slightly thicker already, the thick batts really make it bigger. just be careful if you do order the batts. i read somewhere in the forum about them being sold through ebay...only to find out that some aren't "compatible". can't remember if that meant function-wise.

Please be minded that we might also need to edit build.prop when using bigger batteries for compatibility issues..

Do you think the mugen will fit inside the Trident case? Perhaps without the battery cover. Or maybe modifying original battery cover along with the case?

If the case requires the PLAY's original dimensions, then no. The MUGEN battery protrudes further than the stock battery
the MUGEN battery is bigger and heavier, but you would have to really work your phone to get through it in a day, ive left my phone running castlevania sotn at 180fps for about 8+ hours with a 1.5ghz oc and i still had power to spare..
essentially the great thing about these batteries is that battery life doesnt become a concern anymore, i get about 3 days battery life with standard use, if i turned off data, god knows how much i would get.
iphone users jaws drop when i tell them i get 3 days battery, i love it.

Yeah but you carry a behemoth around with you
i dont think about the weight, in fact i usually still have trouble feeling it vibrate and i have to touch my pocket every now and then to make sure i still have it.
ive had a comment off a teenage girl before who seemed rather offended at the prospect of trading size for battery life.. but she probably also doesnt understand why i want a gamepad.. noone else, or me cares.
the part i care about is being able to use my phone, for anything, whenever i want and never having battery be a factor. its completely worry free. my ultimate device in my pocket that can always be relied upon. i quite like the feel of the gamepad with the thicker back cover, and i honestly dont think the replacement cover is anywhere near as visually offensive as many slab phone back covers which jut out in crazy places, im 100% happy with it.
you have already decided to sacrifice some form for having a gamepad, why not sacrifice a bit more form to be able to use it to its fullest extent?
hi.. do someone here know if there is a better battery for the xperia play that doesn't change its size?

I have a fat 3600 and the stock. Just a word of caution. If you buy a battery that's listed as a higher rating then then stock battery but its the same size. Be warned the battery can give you issues as they cram more juice into the same size the following things can occur. I bought a battery same size as stock and it listed it as 1800. I had excessive heat issues the batteries output to the phone was not a consistent steady flow of power and caused games and my phone to glitch to the point using the phone was almost unbearable. But when I switch to stock or to the fat 3600 battery everything was golden. So just be careful. I would never get another battery that was more power but same size. I lost $20 on that battery. Not saying I don't buy aftermarket barriers. My 3600 is not a mughen but one of those batteries for $17-20 on Amazon from Hong Kong and of works great. I also have a 2600 battery as well. Anyways again be careful of what you and for me never buy a larger capacity battery shoved into the same form factor as stock. Too many issues.

i want a better battery , i have no problems with increased size , its the no cover thing that bothers me.
I dont drop my phone a lot but if i ever did , i would like some protection .
I think that way too. I don't want my phone to be without a cover, I have a great cover now that costs a lot and I don't want to throw it...

I love my gigantic eBay battery and huge cover, but only once my original battery is pretty much dead.
I would never use the thing full time, though.. it's just way too big and unsightly.
Does anyone know if the 3600mah extended batteries will still allow the Xperia Play to fit in the DK300 Sony dock? There's a lip on the back but I think it only covers the silver side part, so it might still fit.
If anyone has both an extended battery and the dock and could clear this up for me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

It looks like it might fit - it'll be close, that's why I'm asking, I'd like to hear from someone who has actually tried both, rather than just conjecture.
I already have the dock, but not the extended battery.
No, it does not look like it will fit. Go ahead and buy it, let us know!
una decilucion
would be excellent to take out a battery with greater capasidad and that is the same size but the manufacturer is not the idea occurred to them yet .. such as the Motorola Razr has 3300 mAh and Maxxx is so thin .. : (
Success!!

Hi.
I want to get a new phone and one of the contenders is the Xperia Z1 compact.
I usually read a lot before buying a new phone about possible problems the phone might have.I did read a lot this time too.
So my question for all of you is:
Is this a good phone, is it worth my money or should i go with something else?
I read about water damaged phones, screen cracking by itself, usb flap giving up after 3 weeks and other minor problems.
I would like a waterproof phone to be waterproof, and now i am not sure what to do.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you.
I've had it for just over two months, and I constantly use the USB port to charge it. The flap is a little more difficult to close now, but still looks to be sealed. I haven't dropped it in water, but I've spilled on it a couple times and cleaned it and there are no issues whatsoever. It's an excellent phone, after installing a custom ROM everything works extremely well. Before that it worked wonderfully as well, but I wanted to customize it a little more. I would maybe recommend waiting for the Z3 Compact since that's coming out in a little while, and it looks to be strictly better than the Z1C.
The Z3 compact will probably cost much more than the Z1.The Z1 is now approx. 200 euro and I guess the Z3 will cost somewhere around 500, so the difference is too big for me .
the new z3 compact will not be so compact anymore, so keep that in mind
Personally I bought this phone because it is the best hardware packed in a screen less than 4.5
And now they decided to give it more screen space which can compete with s4 and all those kinda tablet phones.
If I had to buy a small phone now I wouldn't buy z3c for any reason. Maybe a moto e but not this giant 'compact'

If you can buy the Z1c for about 200, do it! IPersonally I haven´t seen it that cheap anywhere! its an excellent phone, fast, good battery life.
Don´t trust it to be waterproof, read too many accidents.
I bought de DK32 dock to avoid stressing the usb flap with opening it for every charge.

I could have sworn the Z3C was the same size, or very close, just with thinner bezels? I'm pretty sure I saw them side by side and they looked like they had the same dimensions.
I was going to touch on the price as well, but I didn't think it would be that much higher. I bought my Z1C for 389 USD unlocked, and that was a great price for me. 500 Euros does sound really steep though.
Go for it if you're OK with screen size. I am a new user, bought the phone brand new for 350 euros just a few days ago.
The only thing - and I mean THE only thing - I am not happy about is the rather small screen. I was deciding between various screen sizes and given that my eyesight is rather weak with growing age, I kinda wonder if a 5+-inches screen wouldn't be better for me.
I still have the option of returning the phone, but of course in the meantime I fell in love with it Almost everything about it suits me. I especially appreciate the microSD slot. I wonder if I went for a Galaxy Note device how would I feel then...Never had a 'phablet' in my hands...
Happy
I bought the Z1C unlocked about a month ago for $350 (!) US. Best purchase I've made on a phone or PDA going back to the first Compac PDA. And $400 LESS than I paid for my last phone. I suggest you look around for bargains. The source for my Z1C sold out in 24 hours. But with the Z3C having been announced, the Z1C may drop in price quickly.
I'm extremely happy with this phone. Very fast; no real bugs in the software. And, unlike my last phone, I am using it without any modifications to the OS (that will come after the warranty period and after Sony stops updating the OS ). My only complaint, and it is based only on the warnings I've read here, is the supposed susceptibility to scratches on both the front and back. For that reason, I added an applique to the back and a glass screen protector to the front. Never used either (or a case) on my last phone over a 3-1/2 year period. That phone had no scratches on the front when I gave it away. But that issue is not great enough to warn you off this phone, especially if you can find it for under $400US.
Good luck with your search.
Here is a comparison between them. I would say paying extra 300$ just for the thinner design and a 801 proc instead of 800 is not worth it.
No Brainer
So far I can't fault it.
Smaller footprint than my Xperia T I feel more comfortable with it in my pocket.
I just got me a bargain on Z1 Compact £18 /month Free handset 500 mins X network unlimited texts and 500MB Data on O2 for 2 years.
Mrs Got the Z1 not too long after release date and I liked the specs but not the size. When compact was released I knew this would be the next phone.
This is my personal preference but I find all the larger phones to be just too big.
If I go with it I have to pay 13 Euros a month(I am doing it anyway ) and the phone would be around 190 Euros.
I very much want to increase the battery of my Z3 Compact as much as possible, I don't care if I double its size in the process
Although the battery time is tolerable, I think a nice 4000mAh battery or two would work great with the energy saving algorithms of the Z3.
Does anyone know if there is any cases available that let me do that yet? If not , would it be possible to adapt another readily available case for my personal use?
I've not seen any power cases for the Z3c and I doubt any will be released considering the niche status of the phone. Best option is probably a portable USB power pack.
Same here. I always have some juice in my backpack in form of a usb power pack. Charges pretty quick and also usable as a ac charger. For outdoors there are solarchargers. Much more comfortable as a powercase.

I also think it is a little strange that there is no pictures of it. There is pictures of the Z3 power case though. If that is in any way an indication of how the Z3C case will look I think is a bad decision not to make the case cover more of the phone for protection purposes. The phone will end up being bulky anyway with the battery case on, so why not extend the battery case so it offers proper protection against the phone being dropped?

It looks like the Mugen one does not have any addon/swappable parts to fit Z1C/Z3C. To me, this would suggest that the above brando case would fit Z3C too. And that would suggest that the cheap chinese Z1C battery cases would also fit.
Have you done any research?

I'm currently shopping for a new smartphone, and the availability of a battery case is a deciding factor for me. Your post is the only thing I could find on the internet about the Mugen Z3 compact battery case, so I was wondering if I could ask a few things to help me decide.
Does the case fit on snugly? Does it clasp on properly or does it fall off? It charges using the magnetic terminals on the middle of the phone's side, and not the micro USB port, correct? Presumably the flaps that cover the microusb don't get in the way of the case?
Has the actual performance of the backup battery been up to scratch?
Thanks for your feedback about the thickness but I don't really mind about that as I'd be using the battery case for travelling and situations like that.
Some extra photos from different angles would be very much appreciated. Feel free to email me at mark a h 9999 at gmail if that's easier for you than replying here. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Here is a review by one of the users, i hope it will be helpful for You:
Better than the one I had for my z2. Very precise fit with no movement in the battery case. I view this as a clip on extra battery rather than a protective case.
When I need charging I don't want to be connected to a battery pack with a cord...been there, press and hold on switch means no accidental turning off.
I use my z3 for shallow underwater photos and couldn't have a phone with removable battery and leaking battery doors. Double cost of other brand but you get what you pay for!

Sorry, I don't have the case anymore. I decided to get a Xiaomi power bank and sold the case for 2/3 the price since I wanted to use Devilcase. The Mugen was worth the money. All 3200mAh are there. The feel is pretty good as well with a rubbery matte finish and heavier overall weight that's definitely gonna prevent you from dropping the phone anytime soon.
That's the only reason I can find... Some manufacturers justified that they sealed the battery so that they can have slimmer body but it's not really the case on the zenfone 2 (sidenote... I don't understand why the power is on top and vol keys on the side if the purpose was not to make the bezel slimmer... LG said they put the buttons at the back on the G2 and G2 to have slimmer bezels and they do have slimmer bezels but zenfone 2 bezels are not thin at all). You can see they could easily have made the battery removable... there's room in this big body.

I think the answer is an obvious yes, since it's pretty much only for marketing purposes. It's evident that the battery is only partially sealed in and a very slight design change would have made the battery removable.
However, from the first day I saw the back panel setup, it seems relatively more manageable to get to the battery than most other non-removable battery phones. So I wouldn't be surprised if 3rd party battery makers still make higher mA-h batteries as long as they keep them the same dimensions as the OEM.

they are using the same strategy as xiaomi who also seals battery on its phones (and do not even put an sd card slot) to encourage their power bank sales... and I will go a bit far by saying they probably do not put a lot of efforts on battery life on purpose so that uses will need a power bank...
