I tried the Xperia Album app too but I like Samsung's Gallery and video player more. Also I'm using Sharp wallpaper and Pixel icons. I even have the HTC camera app in my collection. Android is freedom. I didn't know there was a war.
Should I be salty instead? :-p
Where are the 128GB Sony? come on :(
and I dont want to use SD cards , Android is not good using them for apps.
This phone is a dream but lacks storage :( 108 h stand by in tiny phone is the most important thing here

This Sony surely could use some bezel-trimming to make the "compact"-model even more worthy of the name. Something about those bezels and the word 'compact' simply makes me cringe every time. It's a small phone now, yes - but has big, BIG bezels. It does have a nice battery life, which is a really positive thing.

But better sd cards barely reach 100 of speed.
Ufs 2.1 must be much more than 400.
Apps inside sd is good just for low end phones...
Literally the only interesting phone on the market right now and it would be stupid to suggest making it bigger just to take advantage of the hardware. That defeats the whole purpose of making a "compact" phone. If anything, it can be made smaller still, by shrinking the footprint, i.e. smaller bezels.
If Google made a Pixel the similar in size to Sony's Compact series, I would be all over it, no matter how expensive because it would be the only fish in a sea of phablets.

32gb internal storage "compact flagship"!
64GB should be the bare minimum in 2017 for flagships!
SD cards cannot be used for apps, even if it could apps would be very slow, and SD card life very short!

this is the phone for heavy gamers not apples
Ugly bezels, no buy.
Battery life better than Z3compact, now that successor. Now only to have that eternal camera processing to get better and put there f1.6 or bigger aperture. Wonder if asking for full-infinity-screen and cpu with npu would be impossible for next gen.

Beyond excellence :-)
Hi, thanks for a great review @gsmarena - are you sure there is a dual sim version available?
I don't understand how 720p and no HDR is a "main shortcoming". Is a 4.6 inches screen, you don't want to see shiny full HD movies or whatever on it, is a compact phone for endurance, there's no need for a huge resolution.
Lol, miracle, anti-bezels people didn't appear yet?? Hooray!
That battery life! holy f**k!
Nice phone! Will buy it soon!!!
720p with sd835. This phone should fly.
