It took 4 months, lots of emails and the threat of legal action before they gave in.

I took my phone out my pocket one d...ay and the screen was cracked and unresponsive, no obvious cause as it was in a rubber case and hasn't been dropped. See my legal Letter Before Action below - maybe the arguments can help you too Note - I am not a lawyer! I am not responsible for your outcome, etc. On June xxth 2014 I bought a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact smartphone. In March xxth 2016 I removed my phone from my pocket to find the screen had cracked across its width. The phone was now inoperable as the touch screen no longer functioned sufficiently to unlock the phone and make any use of the phone. The phone must therefore be repaired or is worthless. The phone was not subject to any dropping or impacts – it has a rubber protector to protect the edges all round, and there is no visible damage to the frame of the phone to support an impact on the edge. It had been in my trousers side pocket under everyday conditions. I have submitted my phone for repair under warranty on March xxth, order number xxxxxxxxx, and you confirmed you received it on xxth April.

On April xxth you contacted me to say that you would not repair it under warranty, and I would have to pay £90.10 to have the phone repaired and return. Since that date I have emailed you three times and contacted you by phone once to state that I believe the phone should be repaired under warranty. You stated that the cause was impact/stress damage. I have reminded you that the phone was not subject to impact and was in my trousers side pocket under everyday conditions immediately before I noticed the damage. I have provided a public statement from Sony to the BBC’s Watchdog programme, saying that Xperia phones have cracked with no identifiable cause, and Sony has provided free repairs. You have not responded to this. The damage on my phone has no identifiable cause. I have asked you to provide evidence of how you have assessed the damage observed on my phone, and how this compares to limits for what damage is acceptable within warranty – so that I can be confident you have correctly determined the cause of the damage and the responsibility under warranty.

However you have declined to provide any evidence and only given me photos of my own phone. Sony provides a 2 year warranty on the Xperia Z1 Compact. My phone was approximately 1 year and 9 months old when the damage occurred. Your warranty statement is below: Subject to the conditions of this Limited Warranty, Sony warrants this Product to be free from defects in design, material and workmanship at the time of its original purchase by a consumer. This Limited Warranty will last for a period of two (2) years as from the original date of purchase of the Product for your mobile device Your warranty recommendations for care and safe use of your products states: • Do not drop, throw or try to bend the product. • Handle with care and keep in a clean and dust-free place. I have not dropped, thrown, caused other impact to the phone or tried to bend it. Further, I have used a rubber phone protector to protect the phone from impacts, particularly at the edges which would be a weak point for screen damage.

Further your warranty states that: This warranty does not cover any failure of the Product that is due to: • Normal wear and tear. • Use in environments where relevant IP rating limitations, if applicable, are exceeded (including liquid damage or the detection of liquid inside the device resulting from such use). • Misuse or failure to use in accordance with the Sony instructions for use and maintenance of the Product. Nor does this warranty cover any failure of the Product due to accident, software or hardware modification or adjustment, or acts of God. I have complied with your instructions for use in the paragraph recommendations for care. Yet the screen has cracked without identifiable cause. A mobile phone is by definition portable, and so a satisfactory design would ensure sufficient robustness for everyday use in pockets, handbags etc. If your phone has failed under these conditions, whilst being used within the care recommendations you set, then your design, materials, or workmanship must be faulty.

You are therefore liable for repair under warranty. Indeed, you have admitted this by stating phones have failed without identifiable cause. In your three replies to my communication you have not provided a sufficient justification as to why my phone is not repairable under warranty. You have stated impact/stress damage but this is not consistent with how I have used the phone. You have not recognised a statement by Sony that phones have cracked without identifiable cause and have been repaired under warranty in these conditions. I believe you are simply trying to avoid a repair for cost reasons, and are not willing to engage in finding a suitable resolution for the case presented. Unfortunately I do not feel further communication with you will be effective. To avoid legal action, you must now provide: • A free repair to the phone under warranty Or • Evidence which demonstrates that the damage to the phone is resulting from impact or bending. This evidence will consist of: - The damage observed on my phone in photographic form (I recognise you have provided this in email, but you should consider this as part of a complete defence of your position) - Examples of damage with a known cause (impact or bending) which correlate to the damage observed on my phone.
