I have this phone for 1 1/2 year and works just fine, no lag, battery keeps me for two days.
The only downside, in my opinion, is the low quality of night photos.
The screen also seem rather small these days, I plan to update to a 5-5.2 inch compact from Sony - hope they'll make one this year.

Worst phone I've ever owned. Buggy since day 1. A simple task like opening Spotify can take up to two min.

Apple Is Just Right But Not Too Small Screen Size Like SE (4.0inches), U Could Try Bigger Screen For Better PPI Display.

Trade-In With A3 (16) Worth It! Very Snappy Second Time Using Sony Device ! Z5 Compact Is A Beast & Excellent Battery Life! Previously Used C3 For Sony, Mostly Samsung Device Used Before. Support Both Samsung & Sony (Double S)!

I bought this phone 2 years ago. At first, I liked it because I had the worst phone before this one. The battery life of the phone was so good in the first year. Almost 2 days of usage. After a few updates, the battery only lasted a day, but still fine with it. Loved the fingerprint scanner. It was so fast and always read my fingerprint. The phone was and is still very fast. No lag whatsoever.

And now for the NEGATIVE parts of this phone....
The back cracked out of nowhere, twice, within the first half year. Secondly, the headphone jack port didn't work after a year. I had to get Bluetooth headphones. And just recently, the option of the fingerprint-scanner just disappeared.... yes, it disappeared after the update to 7.1.1.

The camera is good when there is enough light but when you take pictures or video in low light, it's the worst. So much noise and not sharp. The Xperia XZ1 Compact is out and I am not going to get that phone. I like small phones but these are just too many annoyances which I expect will return on the XZ1 compact also.

My advice, If you don't listen to music much and don't care about photos also, this phone is good. Otherwise, don't get it. Very disappointed.
