        Stay away from this phone !!!! bought it a year ago "2015".. Stopped charging after a year..because its not charging at all ..When I opened it i saw Humidity everywhere inside... on the battery and all stuff inside was Humidity and some water. All this without a reason... "be careful its looks like no waterproof or waterresist"
        camera is just fine not very good like the Galaxy s7 especially in the dark.. battery is very good!! gets very hot when use.. the phone is not fast stuck sometimes without a reason..
        I bought galaxy s7 after 1 year and its Better in everything
        except that the Battery runs out faster and its weigh more and bigger

          Xperia x compact is much better, in everything, both cameras, display design, no overheat... Battery life, yes i say battery life, once gsm make the new battery test with 200nits brightness for this phone, the endurance rating will drop very much then you will see. The only con is the lack of water resistance, everything else it is much better.

              I loved it for so long but since moving to Marshmallow the battery life is a joke, I use it to listen music, check chrome and whatsapp while work and the battery lasts from 9 am till maximum 5-6 pm, it's not worth it

                This phone gets veeery hot when using certain apps. Will be so hot that eventually the glass back will crack, like mine did.
                The crack happened in my hands after 10 months of use, with no apparent reason other than material fatigue from everyday dilation/contraction caused by heat.
                It's not covered by warranty. You will get a cracked back phone that's no more water proof.
                For me? Time to change the phone maker.

The options button is hard to find, the OS is horribly designed. Android is much user friendly. Poor camera quality. Battery time is absolutely horrible. If i use the iphone a bit more during the day, then i have to recharge it around 9 pm before the juice runs out each day. The positive of Iphone 5s is the slim metallic body and no jerks.

                              the phone is excellent, but the screen and camera lens can be scratched easily, unlike the CG before, just installed tempered glass and camera lens protector last night and noticed the disappointing marks :( should've put tempered glassed when its still brand new.

                              Never doubted to purchase 2nd z5c for my GF :)

                                  Im a former iphone user (3g to 6 models) aswell as former sony z3 owner so fair experience. The z5 compact is up there with the best. Pretty heavy user, music, video etc and have always found the z5c able to cope. Occasionally the phone will get quite warm if i am multitasking and has once or twice reset itself - this is a year of usage. Battery is good and the phone is very quick. After using samsung, motorola etc android versions i also have found Sonys customisation of android IMO the easiest to use.

                                    I have had this phone for about six months now. I would have thought by now that Sony would have released a successor and that I would be experiencing some FOMO. This, however, is not the case with the X Compact getting the 650 SoC instead of the 820. Therefore, hands down, this is still the best compact phone on the market. There are a lot of stupid comments on here complaining about how hot the phone gets. GET RID OF THE BULKY CASE and BUY A TEMPERED GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR. This will not only solve a lot of the overheating issues but will look great too!

                                    Also, do yourself a favor and buy an unlocked version. It really is worth it. The software updates are much faster (if your carrier even pushes one at all). I have been running Android 6.0.1 for a while now. And Sony has already announced the Z5c will get Nougat, so this phone is still a flagship device despite being a year old.

All the problems you say never happened to me, only the "heating problem" which is expected if you are recording at 4K in the Summer. Even then it doesn't get that hot.
