The editors didn't like
Small size may not be for everyone
Battery may not last long
The Xperia XZ2 Compact is fatter and heavier than the XZ1 Compact - noticeably and uncomfortably so. In addition
If you're into taking selfies
You'll be disappointed with the front-camera downgrade
But it's still a decent unit
Rating
Some bloatware
Software and camera bugs
Fingerprint placement not ideal
Feels cheaper than it is
No headphone jack
Selfie camera isn't great
Look may not be for everyone
Camera can be slow to focus
Software a little buggy - sometimes unresponsive
Chunky design is contrary to Compact name
A bit fat
Mostly-plastic back
Could go on a diet
It's thick and chunky
Plastic backed
The design is dull as a paving slab
There's no headphone jack and the front-facing camera isn't anything to get excited about
Unfortunately
The camera lacks any form of beautification for selfies
The battery life is only satisfactory
Lasting eight hours and 20 minutes in our video playback tests
There's no 3.5mm headphone socket
You need to use Bluetooth headphones or wired ones that come

Abstract: Whether its because youve got small hands, prefer a more pocketable device, or simply dont care about having a giant display, when it comes to truly small phones, there just arent a lot of options. Your choices are essentially the iPhone SE, the stand...
Underwhelming selfie cam, Small on-screen keyboard
It's hard to pinpoint why I'm smitten with the XZ2 Compact. Sure, it offers great performance and solid battery life, and it takes nice photos. But that's not unusual for a premium phone.What really appeals to me is the way it feels. Today, too many smart...

The XZ2 Compact represents a wholly different value for mobile phone shoppers. There are very few — if any — premium flagship phones that are also compact and truly one-handed. That makes the XZ2 Compact stand out in a sea of thin slates that seem super-s...

Incredible form factor, Improved design over previous Xperias, Good build quality, Quality photos in almost all conditions, Fingerprint sensor! In the U.S
I missed the glass back of its Xperia XZ2 sibling, Lacks optical stabilization, which affects video more than stills, No carrier partners, or Sprint compatibility, Screen quality lags behind the similarly-priced competition
Rare in its small size, Easy to use one-handed, Great 5-inch display, Flagship power without trade-offs
All-plastic body may be off-putting for some, Average battery life, Poor-quality stereo speakers
Sony's Xperia XZ2 Compact is in a class of its own, packing every meaningful feature and component of the XZ2 into a petite, translucent body. I'd even say the device's 5-inch full HD+ display is better than the 5.7-inch equivalent on the XZ2. What's more...

Excellent performance, Impressive battery life, Beautiful HDR display, Fantastic camera
Chunky design
For those who've ever wanted an Xperia Compact but thought they compromised too heavily over their standard siblings, this generation might be the one to jump for.This year's Compact is an almost perfect recreation of the larger XZ2 in terms of form and f...
Compact body that is easily pocketable, Very good battery life, Clean interface, Loudspeaker is much improved
Chubby design, a bit too heavy
The Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact tries to win the hearts of those looking for a smaller phone, one that is easier to handle with just one hand and one that fits in every pocket easily.But thinking that the Xperia XZ2 Compact is special amongst all others and n...
