I own one and it's the best touch phone i've ever owned. My buddy works in an electronics store and sell phones, he hooked me up with this phone when i was low on cash, it was a display phone touched by 1000 filthy hands, but he wiped it down with alcohol wipes and it has served me well, use it as a router etc and has never let me down. I just need to replace the screen seal as i was dumb today and cleaned the phone with soap and cold running water. haha..

I'm glad I discovered this channel, you cover a lot of affordable items that I really like. Old lg, Sony phones at 20 cents on dollar, usbc hubs with unique functionality, earbuds/audio solutions that tend to get ignored by most (1more neckbamd, aukey key series, bludio 2 in 1, govee lamps. Some of the stuff it's almost impossible to find a reasonable review.

This phone would've been perfect and I'd probably still be using one to this day if it had the headphone jack... Such a shame. Really hope Sony makes a return to the compact line of devices.

Great revisit of XZ2 Compact! Though I'd argue it's tough to find it at the price you mentioned; currently it starts around 120-130 EUR/USD on most marketplaces

This phone might be dated, but the battery life is really excellent. The standby time is pretty impressive, and with normal usage, you can squeeze a day or two with the XZ2c.

Not dated man,still a better then notch or hole in the display 😂 i'll think this is an upgrade

I've had this phone for nearly 5 years. I even got it as used one off ebay. Can still take some really amazing photos in bright conditions. Battery life after 5 years is still astounding, don't see any difference. The problem is the updates stopped in 2020 so it's significantly outdated and on technical side many of the devices screens, including mine, suffer from ghost touches and screen freezing, which is very annoying having to constantly lock and unlock the screen. Apart from that I really enjoyed the phone, took 10k photos with it over the years, traveled with it all over Scotland. I was planning to keep using it for few more years or until it dies, but got caught off guard by a new phone as Christmas gift. I will definitely miss the small size of this phone.

Bro how is the battery life?

Although there's no 3.5mm jack, the USB-C port does however support analog headsets unlike other phone brands without a 3.5mm jack.

The phone’s biggest problem was the Sony firmware. Flashed lineageOS on it and is perfect!

I technically prefer the xz1c. Ive had some digitizer issues with my xz2c: ghost touch and another issue with it saying sim removed randomly. Ghost touch issue is annoying and basically you go to press one area and an entirely different area of the phone gets touched, sometime repeatedly and the phantom touch will loop for upwards of 10 seconds and sometimes migrate. Sim issue was fixed with a piece of paper XD
