      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)

                  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.

                        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

                                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.

                                    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!

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
