LOL. Curious what you think of my take on this phone. You mind checking the video on my channel out? I have some good and bad things to say. Mostly, I wish there were more options.

Not to contradict the reviewer, but just want to put my two cents out there - my XZ2 Compact runs almost perfectly, with no lag or unexpected crashes. The only exception, a malfunctioning camera app, was fixed with a recent patch. Just FYI, the frame is aluminum, not plastic - only the back is plastic - and it doesn't have wireless charging, unless Sony forgot to mention it.

Does your XZ2c overheat like some of its predecessors? I'm willing to upgrade from my Z5c and I'm considering XZ2c since it's the only small and good handset nowadays, otherwise i'll go for One+ 6 or Galaxy S9.

The best compact smartphone in the market!! The software is percect! No lag and super fluid!

Great review!!!! I'm quite late but I loved how you covered USABILITY - such an important aspect, yet not talked about by most reviewers!!!? I'm excited for the 5.4inch 2020 iPhone, which should be similar in size to this and so hopefully in ergonomics too. Keep it up :)

Subbed. Best buy rep mentioned this phone and I fell in love with the size of the little guy!

Is there any improvement with the latest updates? I see that Sony is realising Android 9 soon. They have this compact on sale now for less than about $350 in Sweden at the Tele 2 operator

What about call quality? No one ever mentions this in phone reviews these days, but how does this phone work as a....phone? I need a phone this size and can’t use the iPhone 7 or 8 for various reasons. But I’ve heard anecdotally from some Amazon reviews and stuff that calls are muffled or drop a lot. Can you tell me how you found the call quality please (anyone)?

It possibly must be some app you are using is creating the issue

I want to buy this phone and I have a question: do you have (black or grey) side bars when watching youtube or when playing games?

Im wondering if this still is the best option for a compact smartphone?

outstanding review !!

I heard the xz2 compact didn't have wireless charging?

how do you know that they could have fit a larger battery?

Only mine runs very hot after 10/15 min of use?

I have a little issue with Spotify not showing a notification from time to time, but I'm not sure if it's Sony's issue or Sportify's. Other than that, this device is lightning fast, if not the fastest one on the market. I can't understand how you can say it lags!?

That's honest review, thanks man

Same story for me. But it can't replace. It's still too big even though Darius K claims it's small and can be used with one hand. I've tried and I couldn't. So iPhone SE is still the last really compact smartphone with flagship-ish parameters. I don't know what to do if Apple really cuts off compact phones. Probably I'll gonna use my SE until it dies in some 5... 10 years and then we'll see.

Hello, now that we are in 2020, I was wondering if they fix the app crashes and the warm heat issues that you mentioned in the video? I'm looking for a compact smartphone in the US and seems like my choices are either this phone or the new iPhone SE. Also, would be great to make a camera battle between that compact phone and the budget Google Pixel 3a, Thanks!

@@Moneybussinez Thanks. I actually got the Pixel 3a, very happy with it. I just wished it was a bit more compact and the screen didn't suffer from the "yellowish white" issue (which I fixed partially so it's OK now). I chose it over the SE and sacrificed compactness because battery and photo quality was more important to me and the new SE, according to many reviews, suffers from 2 problems: the unnatural colors in photos that are over saturated and the lack of night mode.

jsut bought one today best phone ever used smal powerfull great screen

I highly believe in the fact you got 2 faulty units... My XZ 2 Compact runs extremly smooth, the only issue I have is about the camera that refuses to launch sometimes... Other than that this is by far the smoothest smartphone I ever see/use. Even in a country like mine, in summer (I live under the equator), the phone barely heats up and only when playing heavy games.

Di u had any ghost touch issues. I am reading plenty of complains. Maybe they got refrubished phones.

Generally a good review. However I have to pick you up on a couple of points. You say that the battery could have been larger because of the size of the phone. How can you possibly say that - did you take it apart and check all that spare room inside that Sony didn't make use of? I don't think so. Secondly you have nothing but praise for the glass back on the larger model. I have owned a phone with a glass back, never again, that would be a total no no for me. One thump on the ground and it broke. And this one protrudes, making it especially vulnerable. Cheers.

i had lots of lagging and problems with sony before

Nice...Bro

"it's easy to pick up from flat surfaces"??

My battery drained over 30 procent over night with Pie 9! Hm....

Well basically you want the same thing that others use huh?

um pretty much all the compacts have the same specs as their larger siblings - always been the case.

Plastic back is better than glass. Ask iPhone 8 users how much it costs to replace. The only thing is XZ1 compact come at half price and headphone jack.

@ReturnoftheMus

5 жыл бұрын

Glass backs enable wireless charging, of which the XZ2 Compact is not capable. I too refuse to pay crazy Apple iPhone prices, but at the same time refuse to carry round a phone the size of a tablet. Here's hoping there is XZ3 Compact in works that is wireless charging enabled, until such time I can't justify moving from my trusty XZ1 Compact.

They give a very good in depth comparison with other flagships, and Sony wipes the floor with all of them. The XZ2 Premium will be even better.

Please speak English the proper way. Zed, not zee (not Sie ;-)). Route is originally a French word. Rooooot. It is not the same as rout. Thank you. I would have preferred if Sony kept the same shape as the XZ1 Compact: rectangle with rounded side edges. Agree tha the fingerprint reader is a bit low, but probably intentional, to avoid fingers accidently overshooting and touching the camera lens. Again, I prefer XZ1c's placement on the power button. Xperia Compacts were never a specced down version, unlike the others with their Minis.
