Sony Xperia Z1has sufficient features and specs that is more than enough for the daily use. Its price is also less that the Xperia Z3. According to me, most of the people will go for Z1, including me.
Yeah i agree but Z1 is already 1 year old and Sony will soon abandon it once they are done with Xperia Z
