        For the price and compactness, this phone is a winner. I've always love Sony's UI...even now i'm a huawei user. Great camera improvement, hurm I thought it'll be better if they stick to 720p res screen, easily can get 100+ hour battery endurance, its a compact phone anyway. Still not liking these new Ambient Flow design....looks weird and unergonomic.

              finally improved camera from previous generation and reduced bezels. now it's 5" with 135mm height which is still good for me (my limit is 140mm high). i only miss fm radio, but no compact phones around with radio..

              and no notch, thanks God! ok is a bit thick in the center, and fps was better on the side, no jack etc etc, but much better this one than all those awful new phones with tremendous notch, lol

              look "latest devices" in gsma website.. all new announced phones will be 6" phones with notch.. are you kidding? all copying apple even when they do something awful.. looool! so sad... let me get this one, maybe the last of the compact phones :p

              and I'm in Italy, so I'm getting also the nice headphones.. if i can sell them for about 200€, I'll get a new flagship for around 400€ in the end.. not bad!

                  It's taller so you cannot reach the corners anymore. I'll go with S8/S9 instead.

                      With XZ2/XZ2C Sony once again confirmed that it makes the best Android smartphones. Bravo Sony.

It's pushing a display with almost 2.5x more pixels (1080x2160 vs 720x1280). I knew once they finally made the upgrade to 1080p, endurance would take a hit, but that was a tradeoff I was willing to accept for an upgrade to higher pixel density. Considering the battery capacity of the handheld, they did pretty well. There aren't really any other sub-3000mAh battery phones you can name that pack an 88h endurance.

                              It's a shame that Sony decided to ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack. It would be a great overall device.

                                      Why did you guys replace the "Key test findings" with "Pros and cons" ? It was really nice for people who prefer to read the summarized version rather than the full review.

                                        First, the quality of the camera in low light is a clear improvement over XZ1, but: "We can only assume that's the Multi Frame noise reduction, asking for six 1 second, or so, shots to work with."

                                        This is ridiculous, six second to take a shot? "Ridiculous" because the one that took only one second using Manual seems better. The other in Auto is brighter, but not necessary "better". Were we could already see became blown out.
