This is a very nice phone, even 2 years after it was released. I have had this phone for about 18 months. I like a smaller phone and the X compact fits anywhere I want to carry it. Some of the better features that I like are Quickcharge 3.0 (charges from 0 to 100% in about an hour); 23 MP camera - very sweet (stock camera app...not so great, I use an app called Premium Camera); Battery life - I get 4-5 days after a charge, I charge when I drop below 5% because I still have about 8 hours of moderate use at that point. I am not a superuser: I make lots of phone calls, maybe 2 hrs per day, I stream HD video maybe 30-60 minutes a day, use Google maps a lot, and waste time on the internet. I was impressed with the specs of this non-flagship phone in 2016 and it has never let me down. Sony has a good bit of bloatware on the phone but most of it can be disabled. I haven't had a need for the SD card but it is there if I need it. Currently this phone is updated to Android 8.0.0 (Oreo) and runs nicely, no glitches. If you like a compact phone, even in 2018 I don't think this can be beat.

      U buy a lot unnecesary Problems with this Phone.
      It s my first Sony, and i deeply regret it, i had to fix so much, the Software is HORROR, like on an Phone of 2011. The same old fashioned Problems, i think it s a Xperia thing so i WONT BUY EVER AGAIN !!!
      ...it writes messages in my pocket, its hard to find Apps in the Menue, ...TEST THE MENUE IF YOU LIKE IT ...I Hate it ! IT S NOT INTUITIVE AT ALL... Right now my Ringtone is very quiet so i cant hear it .... I MISS A LOT OF CALLS FROM CUSTOMERS.... so it is not at all a good choice for business. The Music Player is completly stupid, also dont play all my songs now and then, ...it will distract you a lot while outside/on the road / ...your cant set buttons on your own, ...the buttons dont react properly... and so on and so on.... as you can se it acts like a smartphone of the first batch.... not tested.... not finished....

      It looks nice but works worse than lousy. So do yourself a favor and choose another company. It s not at all worth the money, TO EXPENSIVE ...and the Problems are a Joke - But real ...It s so hard to find a small smartphone (4.6") with good specs that s why i choose it. But it bothers me to much, so i will sell it.

                        Nice phone but with a truly terrible camera. So bad in fact that I thought my phone had a fault but the replacement was exactly the same, it's incapable of taking any decent shots on auto mode.

                          Please check hardware is ok. For battery is not issue just go to sony centre to change new only cost you rm 113. This phone battery life is good.

                          I use x compact oreo update

                              Another one thing,

                              I'm using LG V30+ and also Google Pixel 2 XL before, Internet quite slow and even I testing using fast.com just enough to get around 1 - 2 mbps connectivity (using band 40)

                              But when I'm using Xperia X compact internet more faster and when I test connection speed on x compact I can get around 8 - 14 mbps (using band 40)

                              Same explorer which is google chrome. Its weird, someone notice this? but connectivity faster on xperia x compact.

                                AnonD-743582, 25 May 2018dude, what if I play 3d game like er...chaos ring 3 for 2 h... moreHi just bought yesterday since now is super cheap for 2nd phone in Malaysia, just rm350 only, but after that I immediately change ory battery at sony centre.

                                last night at 82% battery level give to my son to play game/installing non stop/watch youtube from 9.30 pm - 12.20 pm battery down to 8%.
                                But if for normal usage battery life is very-very good.

                                I letgo my Google Pixel 2 XL and LG V30+ to keep some money in my pocket, surprisingly this phone can use as my primary for daily use, after upgrade to oreo.
                                this phone have nice camera (not selfie). Sony UI here faster that asus 5z.
                                handle in one hand very convenience and I love this phone even this old model.

                                Since it very cheap I don't bother to use case and only put screen protector to avoid scratch on screen.

                                What I like the most and suprise me is the audio, speaker is clear and DSEE HX setting in the audio for wired headphone setting make listen to music feel superb--soo much different that others brand phone. you will not regret to let your V30 go (because if you want to be audiphile in V30 you also need hi res music to get the benefit but sony DSEE HX is different that improve normal /song/music to sound better)

                                This is only my own opinion. It may different from others.

                                  Anonymous, 23 Aug 2018Thanks for sharing. Samsung software is the worst full with ads, glitches and illogical layouts. Usually those which praise Samsung are very non technical, oriented by high prices when buy something and of course they cannot afford a more expensive and secretly dreamed iPhone.

                                      Xperia X Compact still getting monthly security updates (including July 2018). Not bad for an almost two-year-old phone. Presumably that will continue through autumn of this year.

                                        You could try clearing the app cache (NOT the User data) of the Contacts app:
                                        Settings->Apps & Notifications->App info->Contacts->Storage->Clear Cache
