Xperia Z1 broken after bikeride

Hi Sony Team,

I was very happy with sony when i was using one of my favorite phone sony Z ultra after 8 month my phone started giving proxy problem i visit to vashi service center and they had replace me an anther z ultra after 15 days then again on the same day i note that i am not getting rang on my phone agent they ask me to replace the phone but they don't have the z ultra in stock so they offer my Z1 but i reject the office because z ultra is one of my favorite phone then after 1 month they convince me and i get ready to take Z1 after 1 day the display of left side was blank and i visit again and they change some of the parts that time i was unhappy then also i get ready to receive that repaired phone.

Now my Z1 body has been band when i was on my bike its a sport bike and my phone is in my back pocket i had travel for 5 Hrs and when is saw my phone it was damage i visit to one of the service center in Bangalore they told me we cant provide you any service and you have to pay 12000 because it is a physical damage

Is it my fault??? its not the first time i had kept my phone in back pocket

Dude I have z1 and its never bend. And my friends Samsung s5 was bend because his riding bicycle. Dude I never keep my phone my back pocket. Thats your fault. Who told you to use it in correct way? just chat with Samsung and ask Is it correct or not. First you must correct to use a phone. If you use your phone correctly and if its get bend then you can write here. Otherwise you use it incorrect way and just telling phone is not good no one can't believe. Even my office friend he used iPhone 6. He also keep his phone back pocket. And its bend. Then apple service center didn't change his phone. They said because he used his phone wrong way.

Hi @Sanks777,

Sorry to hear about your phone and what happened. In this case however I suggest you contact your Local support to have your device sent to and examined by one of our authorized service centers. The repair and warranty process may differ between markets and regions.

Yes, bending your phone whilst in your rear pocket while cycling, is physical damage, and I'll define below.
The handset, is physically damaged as in, it is damaged.... Physically.
I'm afraid no manufacturer on earth will honour warranty in cases where a phone is bent in rear pocket.

Aluminium bends, on any phone, if given enough force.
As a cyclist I would never keep my thin aluminium phone in the rear pocket, as I'm sure you're aware,this area comes under most tension whilst cycling, especially on a sports bike
