Description

As the name implies, the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact is the smaller counterpart of the XZ2. But don't let its size fool you: the phone packs the latest Snapdragon 845 SoC for flagship-grade performance. The camera at the back is the powerful 19MP module from the XZ2, with 960fps slow-mo support and 4K HDR recording at 60 fps. All of this you get out of a 5-inch phone made of metal, glass, and polycarbonate.

This device is also known as Sony H8314, Sony H8324

Not great

Posted: Aug 10, 2021, 1:41 PM

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I switched from a iPhone 8 Plus because I wanted a smaller phone but I didn’t find the XZ2 Compact good at all. The battery was a HUGE disappointment and the screen wasn’t bright at all. When it was bright outside I couldn’t see the screen.
Overall pretty bad phone, I would recommend the Galaxy S10 or the smaller S10e.

Not Compact

At 168 grams and 106 cubic centimeters, this phone can hardly be considered "compact". It's bigger than an iPhone 8. It's roughly the same as a 2010 HTC EVO 4G! The XZ1c was better at 104g/77cc. However, the old Z3c was 129g/71cc and even that is larger than the huge iPhone 6.

Sony used to make some amazing compact phones like the diminutive Xperia SX MT28 weighing in at just 95 grams and making the iPhone 5 seem heavy. Where are the compact phones?! Even Sony has lost their way.
