Perfect size and weight for my purposes, solid build, demonstrably waterproof, crisp and sharp display, lightning-fast processor, great camera (I prefer using SLR for anything important), cleanly moderate features and installed apps,
What makes it work , size wise it that it is not as wide , so holds in the hand comfortably
The compact size is ok though a bit smaller would have been preferable
After extensive research, I've decided to go with the XZ2 Compact
With the XZ2 Compact I once again get to experience missed calls that go straight to voicemail, text messages that arrive several minutes late and out of order, and MMS receive errors.
For those of you who like small phones, the XZ2 Compact is definitely a nice phone, but make sure to get a case for it.
So in order to perform one-handed operations on the XZ2 Compact, your pinky must move out of position.
My review of the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact will focus on my experience using it and my take on this powerful but smaller phone
The Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact gives me all I look forward in a phone; great performance, beautiful small phone design that easily fits in one hand, great 4G LTE service from my provider and finally great battery life.
Performance is excellent, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor
Performance wises, this phone is amazing, I've played games, watch videos, and streamed live shows all without the phone even heating up, which was an issue on my previews Xperia z3 compact
This phone works on Verizon, as well as AT&T and T-Mobile

The display is super crisp, it has good sound (I tend to use a phone for watching movies way more than I should, so audio level is key), and it is blazing fast
The display is beautiful, the fingerprint sensor works great and the camera is good enough
The display is beautiful, the fingerprint sensor works great and the camera is good enough
However, using the fingerprint scanner on the XZ2 Compact does require your fingers to move out of position, which in turn requires your other hand to support the phone.
a bit highDESIGNThe Xperia XZ2 Compact is a 5” phone with some updated, yet familiar Sony design aesthetics
So while the previous XZ1 Compact works exceptionally well as a phone in my house due to WiFi calling, the XZ2 Compact fluctuates between 1 bar of reception to no reception at all, depending on what room I am in.
I believe the Compact XZ2 is for the specific consumers who want both a smaller phone to put in your pocket and have the great specs of a 5.7 – 6” phone
The Xperia XZ2 Compact is also heavier than the XZ1 Compact, which combined with the ergonomic problems makes a drop much more likely
The pictures are crystal clear and the sound quality is great
This phone works on Verizon, as well as AT&T and T-Mobile
Figured this phone would be high quality, but it exceeded my expectations
I confirmed that the unlocked version works on Verizon as well as T-Mobile
Incredibly fast hardware, excellent and sturdy build quality, fantastic shape for one-handed use, great audio, and the Sony UI is lightweight and snappy
In practice, I'm usually using taking photographs rather than video though - and the previous XZ1 Compact supports 4K video and HDR photography already.

ERGONOMICSThe ergonomics are also a major step in the wrong direction when compared to the XZ1 Compact predecessor.
Unlike the XZ2 Compact, the previous XZ1 Compact works with VoLTE/WiFi Calling technology, has an auxiliary audio port, and proper ergonomics for one-handed operation.

If you prefer the larger screens, the XZ2 would be a better option with it's 5.7” screen
" Screen - 64GB - Deep Green (US Warranty) is a superior product to the XZ2 Compact - the screen is better, the dynamic ambient light works better, and the audio is better.
It also lacks an OLED screen for the deep blacks
I'm using a flip case just to protect the screen until I can find a good protector
Please understand that I spent much more on the XZ2 and only upgraded from the Z5 because the (then impeccable) screen shattered
This is a great second phone for me since I am not willing to give up my Google Nexus 6P just yet, but when I decide to go smaller, the Sony Xperia XZ compact would be a great choice.
I was also told by Sony that this is the ONLY Sony phone that will work on Verizon
Although at range, with 5G, the Sony would frequently lose signal several feet before my Samsung did
As more phone companies aim for a bigger screen, Sony has taken their top of the line Xperia phone and made it smaller.
Incredibly fast hardware, excellent and sturdy build quality, fantastic shape for one-handed use, great audio, and the Sony UI is lightweight and snappy
Overall, if you care about having a good camera, this one would not disappoint you
Other brands offers smartphones with the name of the big brother but with half the characteristics, not just the screen size and the battery, but less capable processor, less ram, less storage, worst camera
Speakers can get pretty loud and the camera is very good as well.
The camera is pretty good (but lacks optical stabilization)
It could be because of the good camera and good battery
