If only Sony remake the z3c with metal body and more powerful processor.

"the ergonomic curve was shaped to fit nicely in hand" -> of course. remember holding nokia 3310? the bulk is always ergonomic.
but this is such a lazy design for sony. trimming bezels while adding thickness. poor Sony.
if you want ergonomic, buy cheap phones, it is thick, using less slippery plastic, also tougher. yes, just like this one, expensive yet feels cheap.

Its a new phone but with more than double the pixel count. Do you really expect 1080/2160 to consume equal to 720/1280? That's 2.3 million light bulbs vs 0.9 million light bulbs.

For all people who are complaining about size of display (that is not compact anymore because it has 5 inches) I would like to inform you that XZ2 compact is still smaller than iPhone 8, and if you don't consider iPhone 8 to be a compact phone then you're really special snowflake.
Btw here is visual size comparison between iPhone 8, XZ2 compact and phone of todays "standard" size Samsung S9 https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size#/phones/size/Samsung-Galaxy-S9,Sony-Xperia-XZ2-Compact,Apple-iPhone-8/phones/10716,10834,10408

sm4rt4ss, 18 Mar 2018I currently own Z3 Compact and this is my next phone. Or maybe XZ1C. I love them both. To thic... moreAlso a Z3 compact user here.
With all these love/hate situations where my Sony disappointed me and then make me love it again, I still have second thoughts about going with the XZ2C...
Really liked the 720p for the small screen and also the low impact on the battery side.
This XZ2C really made me reconsider the XZ1C... Only if it had a better design(smaller bezels).
I you think about it, the Z3C has very small bezels, especially for it's time,.. Too bad my screen comes loose and unglue by itsel too often,..
But, hey!
MAYBE there will, hopefully, be a better XZ3C this autumn. :))
From Z3 to XZ3, maybe the Z6 that never came out, but undercover. :))

Josephkarthic, 18 Mar 2018Hi Everyone,
Im looking for a mobile phone camera with the BEST low light shooting...Can so... moreI assume you want to take pictures in entertainment venues or such. Unfortunately they are all crap in low light situations, I'm not aware what you intend to do with the pictures but if you want to print them or use them physically then forget about the cellphone camera.
I cannot recommend you any phone for low light as none of them do it all, some have better color reproduction at dark, some like Pixel completely kill the environment lighting in order to make object more neutral and so on. It's a game full of compromise.

The nearest equivalent is actually the Huawei P10. A tiny bit bigger but lighter, slightly slower, like an upgrade to the X compact, and somewhat cheaper.
(I also happen to think the iPhone 5-8 design is a bit too much like something in a mid-range jewellers, so I disagree with the reviewer - both the Sony and the Huawei look better to me.)

As usual, very difficult to believe in these battery life ratings used. My samsung s6 (2550ma) and honor 8 pro (4000ma) have similar battery rating in hours, however in real word usage the honor 8 pro is not far from twice as good. 2780ma is small, period.

But at least now people will simply choose based on size rather than battery life, i.e simpler options, no downgrade/power trading should be considered.
