11.2 and 12.2 mm thickness? Sony, are you kidding with us?
Still large up and bottom bezels...

    AnonD-98144, 26 Feb 2018First of all, I apologize to the fans of Sony phones. What ... more So?
    You think they ll survive the year?
    Maybe come back to their senses in a years time?
    They just lost about 80% of potential fan based buyers with this no jack, no sided fp scanner, just 5 mpx front cam, etc....
    Maybe they gain about 10% of new buyers in merica with now working fp scanner?
    Thats already 50 to 80% potential loss of consumers.
    If they sell 2 mill of these in next quarter, Id be certainly surprised.
    Expecting serious "in red" quarterly reports now.

    Oh, Sony, why you do this?

      Sony looks like playing catch up with these phones. These phones look amateur and unpolished compared to the S9. Even the S8 looks and feels current than these phones.

          SocalTeknique, 26 Feb 2018Sony put the camera where the fingerprint scanner usually i... morei feel their approach to that was holding the phone at the bottom (the natural phone holding position) and just extending your index finger. if you compare the location on both the xz2 and compact, its pretty much at the same distance from the bottom with xz2 being a lil bit lower due to the angle difference as the phone is wider than compact.

          but thats just my thought lol. god knows what R&D used as basis lol.

            The XZ1 is only 6 months old and there's already a successor.

                  in my dream "year 2020. sony launches new bezeless xz6yzx pro with 5.6inch LED display 4500 mah battery and dual camera and 3.5mm jack!"

                    Alien , 26 Feb 2018 I don't like the new design. Sony, I buy your products sp... moreLol a pregnant soup. To be fair the XPERIA XZ2 COMPACT looks way better, the design for XPERIA XZ2 COMPACT just feel nostalgic, it looks just like my antique XPERIA SP. Right now the XPERIA XZ2 is just like Google with their high-end flagship, weird design but decent hardware. I am looking forward to the vibration stabilization though, and the BIONZ image processor

                      New design sucks, totally unnecessary 18:9 screen ratio and no 3.5 mm headphone jack??!! Jeez...

                        I loved sony design since Xperia Z, had Xperia S back then
                        I gave up with sony till now
                        This Xperia XZ2 has 11mm thick but with 3100mah battery ?

                        I dont mind a lil bit thick on phone as long it give more battery,at least give 5000mah for that thick compensation !!

                        And they leave 3.5mm behind ? What a JOKE !!
                        i still remember when they create water resistant 3.5mm
                        And they still create good iem or headphone with cable.. i still have one XBA A3 and 1R , i dont see any reason for this.

                        Apple did this because they want more money from their port.
                        RIP Sony

                          11mm and 12mm of thickness? Why sony, why? Always almost perfect. I could even live with fingerprint on the back.

                            there should have been no diff between zx2 & compact except for display, but hey you dont get wireless charging, no dynamic vibration system, but price will def be $700+

                              Same camera, anonymous design, no audio jack. Sony, are you kidding us?!? Very disappointed, i think i'll buy a Nokia phone.

                                The back panel is soooo much like HTC U11 series. Like or dislike is personal thing and taste, but I really don't like it. Anyway, sales numbers will tell and I do hope that Sony can give me something which can surprises me. I bought almost every Sony flagship since Z debut. Hey, I still have faith in you, Sony.

                                  I mean, I bought the MDR ZX770BN for cheap ($140 equivalent in my country; it used to be $220), so the loss of the headphone port doesn't hurt me too much. But man, does it suck. Same deal with the Nokia 8 Sirocco (Scirocco? not sure).

                                    Is this feminine design aimed to attract Apple users to buy Sony products again? Smh

                                      The guy that presented wanted to say XZ2 but he said XZ2 Premium.

                                      The phone is real.
