this phone looks like a 2014 model
The XZ1C was bigger than the Z5C this thing is bigger than the XZ1C, I don't like this trend and surely neither does anyone else they're aiming "compact" phones at. Sony should be reducing the bezel size, yes - but only to make the phones smaller; screen size is fine!
I only bought an XZ1C 6 months ago so when this was announced I felt maybe I should have waited - but actually I'm pretty glad I didn't. I use my headphone socket, and I appreciate being able to unlock my phone without picking it up. 1080p is pointless on a screen this size too.

AnonD-699987, 20 Mar 2018Sony losing on the ground, can't keep on other rival. Try to lower your price point.or keep the current price but increase the hardware and software quality (like using oled, put back the hp jack, redesign the old boring ui, etc)

The comments here outnumber those for the Samsung S9+ review (63 comments). The Sony XZ2 review has 334 comments so far.
What are the reasons Sony phones have so many comments whenever they are reviewed?

No other flagship can manage that endurance with a battery under 3000mAh.
This compact fails at being compact and has poor battery life to show for all its small improvements. Biggest disappointment of the year so far. How low sony has fallen.
Kiyasuriin, 19 Mar 2018Haha yes. It is ironic. Technically Sony invented the 3.5mm jack (but not the audio jack. This... moreAt least their bold move to wireless connection makes a lot more sense than how others did it.
With the lack of headphone jack, they have LDAC; a wireless connection that is superior to BT5.0 and aptx HD in terms of pure quality (990Kbps, to be exact).
Also, among the manufacturers that removed the jack, they were the only one to offer USB C charging/data transfer and 3.5mm jack simultaneously. Sad, but I guess it is what it is. Nonetheless, their audio quality has improved since this XZ2 genera tion
Kiyasuriin, 19 Mar 2018Well said. XD (wow. Twins on the internet!?)Hahahaha XD
My next Sony cell 2018
vrvly, 19 Mar 2018actually nothings on web rivals cd's. everything's compressed (mind you, even flac is). Not ha... moreOf course flac doesn't rival CD quality . It is above that .
Love the old sharp edges and the audio jack 3,5mm, it is a shame that Sony abandoned them.
I appreciate the bezels, (in fact, I hate bezelless phones) and the absence of notch . But the new chubby design is a major let down to me.

They want to settle the rivals
Also sony bundled converter usb C to 3.5mm jack in a box..
Still we can connect the non wireless headphones or headset..
Anonymous, 19 Mar 20185 inch and thick bezel is compact? And no headphone jack? As a fan of the Z Compact series si... moreyes, compared to all other flagships being released nowadays! all of them are 6" or more...
you shouldn't really compare this compact phone with its predecessors, IMHO, but rather with the current market situation and all other phone makers! time is passing my friend... and today a 5" phone flagship IS compact!
xperianced, 19 Mar 2018"...also waves goodbye to the analogue audio jack." Isn't it strange that the company that ... moreHaha yes. It is ironic. Technically Sony invented the 3.5mm jack (but not the audio jack. This dates all the way back to like 104 years ago) so it IS funny they are joining this infantile trend
xXENDER FREAKXx, 19 Mar 2018Didn't want them to remove the 3.5mm headphone jack though, but they removed it, and probably ... moreWell said. XD (wow. Twins on the internet!?)
