41 Comments

1. ey thanks for this review back in 2016 it helped me decide on buying the phone.
   I recently made a video on my experience with it after 2 years of use.

2. Fingerprint not working yet charging so much money? Forget it Sony…

3. it's shit in hands

4. No, no no!
   The X Compact is NOT meant to be a successor to the Z5 Compact!
   The X range is slightly less "high end" than the Z. (Look at the Xperia X and XA)

   The X compact is meant to be a budget compact phone with good specs, and is not meant to be a variant of the Z5 Compact!

   Jesus.

5. ugly finger/nails

6. sony should modernise their xperia layout it is look old

7. is this phone have back glass on back side like the z3 compact ??

8. I'm just gonna say, Sony made all the right choices with this phone. The Z5 Compact was pretty cool when it came out, but after using the X Compact, it's definitely the better device. My biggest complaint with the Z5 is the 810. It just runs too hot, and I think that's why the battery seems to drain so much faster than the X Compact. While I do prefer the slightly smaller size of the Z5 Compact, the X is still very acceptable. I think the 650 is a much better fit, as it runs cool (always) and it's faster in my opinion (although the extra gig of ram probably helps). If you're deciding between the X and the Z5, I'd recommend the X

9. you failed to mention something very important. this phone does NOT play all videos. many videos have no audio or don't play at all. this compared to iphones that play every single video. this seems to be a copyright issue with sony phones because the htc phones do play all music videos whereas sony does not which is a terrible flaw.

10. Reading comments and the average consumer is a moron. You really think anything more than 720p is needed on a sub 4" phone? 😂 I have a Galaxy S6 with a quad HD display which kills the battery and is unnoticeably better than other devices with a 720p display. People are so caught up on the best processor and display when on a phone it's plain unnecessary.

11. It's funny how everyone started crying about the processor, yet videos are posted the last days showing how the X compact (which is like $ 200 cheaper?) outperformed the galaxy S7 and the iPhone 7. Two words guys: software optimization! It's not only about specs!

12. I plan to purchase this phone but IM not sure on thé internal space and if this were to be compared with a Xperia U what is thé difference

14. I've read no fingerprint sensor??

15. How much this cost

16. looks like a power bank with a screen on it.

17. the smartphone so thick like the face of leaders Sony

18. waste of money, worst phone

19. I have been looking for a new phone for years now. I bought the iPhone 4 when it was first released but have not bought another since-I don't think any company seems to be offering the wow factor these days. I'm disappointed in Sony as I have been ready to buy a Sony phone for a while but only if I feel it is worth it- I liked the look of the Z5 compact but it was too expensive for me at the time, so I decided to wait yet another year only to see that THIS is the latest offering? I want a small phone as I hate the massive ones but come on Sony, my iPhone 4 is 6 years old now and this is still not a good enough upgrade for me to consider. Looks like I'm not getting a new phone any time soon!! I don't care if it's a bit fat, all I want is oled–not too much to ask!! Not happy!!

20. i like the phone but hat the review😭

21. Why does everybody keep calling this phone a flagship? It's no more but a mid-ranger with pretty average specs from last year.

22. fuck sony I was hoping for 820 processor and water resistance
    I will think about Z5 compact

23. the phone is very beautiful !!!

24. Utterly disappointing.

25. It's funny how everyone is crying about the processor, yet you can already see the X compact is very snappy and still has a great screen.

26. we want xz compact.. noob you sony downgrade

27. bet it will be cost more then Z5C now

28. dont like this design

29. so freakin fast

30. it's like an old iPod especially the white one

31. i use z1 compact. still a very good phone with antutu score of over 50k. the z series are more sexy than x.

32. Disappointing CPU !

33. It will be a hit if its $200.00 US. But knowing Sony they will price it at $450.00 for the compact and $590.00 for the other.And they will sit in a warehouse somewhere unsold. While Oneplus and and ZTE eat there lunch with $400.00 phones with flagship specs…..SONY is now Blackberry.

34. Toooo thick. What are they smoking at Sony to make 9.5 mm thick phone in 2016??? It looks outdated out of box! 🙁

35. come on sony, I want to upgrade from my GT-I9190 , but i can not find a great well priced phone

36. wtf?
    they still live 10 years back
    when it was Nokia vs Sony Ericsson and the most important thing was who has the best camera!!!!
    They talk only about the camera like the rest doesn't matter
    They downgrade the cpu!!!!! OMFG , seriously Sony?????

    i already own a Z5C and before that i had Z3C(that now my wife has it)
    and for sure i wont buy this piece of crap this year…..

37. Sony Xperia Walkman

38. Damn its fat

39. chinese market ftw zuk z2 > sony x compact bros

40. And sony releases the ugliest phone I think i've ever seen, it looks like something a child would make out of playdough, that plastic, just ewww. Not to mention its the size of a 20k mah portable charger. Get your stuff together ffs.

41. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT XPERIA X COMPACT IS THE COMPACT VERSION OF THE STANDARD XPERIA X. THAT IS WHY THEY SHARE THE SAME SPECS. USE YOUR BRAINS PLEASE. NOT A XZ COMPACT BUT X COMPACT.
