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.

Since i am leaning to the smaller more than its big sibling, i consider it the best smartphone until now.

I understand there is a trend towards bigger screens, but 5" is not compact anymore. A few of us want a really small phone, like 4" max. Something you can put in your pocket and still walk naturally. We have tablets and computers where we can watch Game of Thrones, no need to do that on the phone.

Shitty design, poor batery life(compare to XZ1), thick as a brick, not compact anymore (must be under 130mm). No thanks Sony, you just lost one loyal customer. Hope my XZ1 Compact last forever.....

This phone is as convincing if not better than the XZ2.
And the multi-stacking feature is welcome, I wish that it was available since the XZ Premium because I knew the sensor was perfectly capable of doing that!
Talking about build quality or the premium aspect, I remember that my Lumia 830 felt really good with its aluminum chassis ans polycarbonate back.

So glad the back isn't glass and it's not slippery. I dislike cases but I had to put one on my S7 because of slippery back and thin/sharp sides. It looks like XZ2 C addresses exactly that. Only if they had kept the headphone jack...

this is year 2018 yet Sony dare to sell a phone with such thickness? Are they having too much time and money to test consumers' patience?

Ascheron, 17 Mar 2018Was hoping it to have a 5 inch screen on a Z1 Compact body.This one has same size of ZL with smaller screen.
18:9 sucks
