@mr.potatoguy4216

Genzey Boss I think these are the main reasons Xz2 compact is better than s9: - Xz2 compact is 250€ cheaper, and this is the key factor. - Faster in use and better performance (watch some speedtests) - Better battery - Literally the only compact sized flagship. - FAR better software with faster software updates than samsung for 2 years quaranteed. - 1080 slow mo. - The screen has to be the best lcd ive ever seen. - Isn't boring like the s9 (but this is just my own personal opinion) Although samsung does have the 3.5mm headphone jack, possibly a better screen and better lowlight camera. Overall Xz2 compact is better for the money in my opinion.

If it had a headphone jack...it would have been perfect. It is a shame how close the Compact nailed it. From build quality, to speakers, to performance and then to ruin it with the lack of the headphone jack.

Everything good with XZ1 Compact? :D I heart a lot that it is good. Any issues that you are aware of with the phone? *being from your own experience, rumors or the support forum? :D

I Still want one of this. Sadly they never sale it on my country.

I saw this in the store yesterday and the polycarbonate back does not feel cheap to me. Personaly I like it better than the shiny back of the normal xz2, which leaves fingerprints as well. Overall I liked the built quality, it felt sturdy and not cheap. The biggest complaint for me is that the battery is quite small, would've loved a 3000mah or bigger battery. Also unfortunate that there's no jack, but in my country it's paired with a Sony wh-1000xm2 if you preordered the phone, which is said to be one of the best bluetooth headphones of today, so I think I won't miss the jack too much.

I have this one and i still admire this compact gaming phone

Been using this phone for over 2 years now! Verizon in the US. took a little bit of time to figure out why i wasnt getting certain stuff to work, but it was Visual Voicemail that was causing some issues, so i turned it off and its good to go. incredible phone and an ABSOLUTE TANK (with case). this phone is DUR-A-BLE as can be. i go swimming with it all the time, i drop it off of my bed onto hardwood ALL the time, i weld too for a living and its survived the hardships of that as well. battery is getting worse, but not horrible. 5am-530pm and using bluetooth headphones and pandora all day from data, before needing a charge up. the camera is fantastic too. MORE SONY COMPACTS PLS!!!!

which is bigger in size xz2 compact or z3compact? i still love the design of z3c🙁

I like that you're wearing your Martenitsa :P Nice reviews!

Thanks for the video! I have an Xperia Z5 Compact since 2016 and it is starting to fail. I'm thinking about this XZ2 Compact as a good candidate to replace it. I love small phones. Would you recommend this one, or would you suggest another option now?

I never comment in any youtube video, but your video is so fucking good Mr. Liu Kang, All the reviews should be like that, talking about everything you need to know about the product before you buy, not only of personal impressions. I decided to buy this cellphone because of it. I was looking for a small flagship for years, thank you very much and keep doing the good work! Already subscribed in your channel, thank you again!

Few questions:Does the Sony XZ2 have that Sony click sound are you use the phone? I always like that sound. Also is there a notification LED light that blinks like the Samsung phones? And you can change the colors? Finally is there a always on display option like the Samsung’s have? Sony XZ2 or iPhone X?

Thnx for the review! Realy helped me a lot! Cool to see ratt's round&round in the review 2! Lol Keep up the cool revs!

It's about time there's a small flagship. I miss having a small phone with some horse power. I love my Note but, it's nice to have a phone that small with just as much potential in mah pocket!

Nice to see someone else using Opera. :) And why does the launcher look a lot like Nova Launcher? Anyway, everything about the phone looks great! I actually only started considering it because it fits into a Boxwave keyboard case (designed for the iPhone 6), but the more I learn about this phone the more I'm certain it's even a good choice on its own.

proprietary dongle?

Release date in US?

are you wearing a martenitsa?

This just might be my next phone. Finally a good small phone which you can use with one hand. With nova louncher this would be great.

yay! more xperia review..

It has LDAC support, which means lossless HD Audio streaming to compatible headphones. It sounds spectacular.

Will always looked stone in his past reviews. Glad he has improved alot.

thanks for reviewing xperia xz2c cause i can buy it

Thank you, feck am reviews for this phone. Great job.

Just used this phone in black in tmobile. I was very sceptic about the design and thickness ( I have z5c) but this phone really does look amazing and it's still very compact. It feels very well made and solid and it's great to hold. Screen is great, and the phone is very fast... I pre-ordered

In my area Verizon wireless is my only option, I've wanted a Sony compact for years and now this one is rumored to be available on Verizon! Can't wait to try it out, wish others made compact flagships. Good job Sony.

1366solar perhaps but for now wired headsets in general are superior to wireless in terms of audio richness and more importantly no need for recharging or need of batteries because it uses the cell phone itself for that , no need to pair it with the cell phone or each other and I already know the pluses for wireless so until the wireless headset's battery life can last as long as a cell phone's battery bank to me its an inconvenience I'd rather not have to deal with

Actually, if these companies had reason to believe that the lack of the 3.5 port was losing sales, they wouldn't be removing it. The "we" in your case is seemingly a minority whether you like it or not.

didn't talk about buggy programs, compatibility with networds, or if bloatwear aps can be fully removed/deleted.

Can't seem to find the headphone jack anywhere. NEXT >>>

Not only did they change the fingerprint sensor from the wonderful side mounted, power button integrated to the rear mounted circle, but also no 3.5mm jack... I guess my Xperia Compact streak is over.

Finally a decent screen resolution. I see it fitting the xzc2 fine.

The 4k video is not smooth at all though. If you look at it frame by frame you'll see it's skipping frames.

ive had mine for 1-2 years and ive loved it, i agree the jack has been the only thing ive missed on mine but it might be part of keeping the phone fully water resistant. only complaint i would like fixed on the next edition is the charging cable, has become unstable and the connection seems loose. it might be a issue caused from dust and dirt, but i would really love a ''smarter solution to the charging. wireless charge would make this phone my life companion except for better spec upgrades =)

I've been wanting to replace my Note 3 for a while, and this phone has been on the top of my list since its initial rumors. The headphone jack getting dropped is a downer, but there really aren't many options for a sub-5.2" phone. I think this is the one for me!

I like the black one😊

I like it. Not bothered by the relative bulk of the phone. I like this kind of back way more than glass. The dongle is fine , that’s really much ado about nothing. I’ll most likely wait a few months for the price to drop a bit, but I have no doubt this phone will replace my iPhone SE.

Cost????

Maybe it is worth mentioning that while the phone supports fast charging, you don’t get a quick charger in the box. It’s a standard 5V, 1.5A plug.
