Having said that, I almost always find it easy to hear the other person on a call. Volume is average but the actual sound quality is excellent.

Nope, with a 5" screen, even if height is OK with 3mm top and 3mm bottom, width is beyond what can be called compact.
So 4.6" or max 4.7 is the limit.
But 3mm top and 6mm bottom with a 4.6-4.7" screen will be the first true compact.

Camera is actually quite good, i used a lot of phones with great potential like 1020,808 but this phone is amazing. It's not blurry, very detail and has good color balance also autofocus is excellent, very fast and accurately working.
Performance is very good, my last phone was iphone se, but this phone is working well. No lag, no waiting. Scrolling performance also good.
Gaming performance quite good, it runs every game like telltale games batman, gta san andreas, asphalt extreme etc.
Screen is amazingly good. Very bright and it's visible under sunlight. Colors good, pixels density is enough and screen's black borders very tiny. I checked xz1 yesterday and x compact's screen very similar with xz1.
Battery performance is good. With wifi it takes approximately 7 hours sot, with cellular i played 1 hours batman, 1 hours google navigation and it took 4 hours30 minutes sot. It's actually pretty good with gaming and running navigation.

After you unlock the phone you can bring in heavy customization to the system using operating system level modules, code. Sony offer waranty per system (hardware and software) and a heavy operating system modification after rooting, unlocking makes impossible for them to evaluate a complaint during the warranty. Thus they provide through a registration process the unlock code and procedure only if you reveal the owner and waive the owner's warranty. Sony website explains how to unlock any Sony phone free of charge but with the consent to renounce its manufacturer warranty.

Surficial, 10 Sep 2017It shouldn't, try out a different music player.At first I thought the problem might be with the SD card. I bought a 64Gb card but items/tracks/albums that I loaded kept on disappearing. And then the music skipped a lot. I have now tried a different flac encoder (flac instead of cdex) and have had no problems since. I'm still monitoring

Anonymous, 21 Sep 2017I have the X Compact but I'm quite disappointed in the perf... moreI can only agree - and what do you think of the camera? (I was used to a LG-G2 with OIS & HDR), and I am very disappointed (because of lots of shaken/blurred out pictures, because of "only-if-hold-extremely-steady" the pictures will become sharp).
And, have you tried to "customize" - that is, install apk's, mess with other apk's that control Battery-life etc. I have, and Sony won't let me (they seem to be ignorant to the fact, that many customers buy an Android-smartphone, in order to be able to change settings etc - instead of buying an "iPhone wash-n-go not-customisable unit") [Sony have "grayed-out the buttons", making this a no-go - and when trying to Root, one is met with (after following Sony's! own developer-walk-through) an "end stop", where it shows up, that the unit cannot be Rooted - and they refuse to help, regarding this problem (of course / maybe! - still it makes the Sony suck compared to other Android-units!)]

I cannot recommend this phone !!! ...Because of lots of annoyances etc:
First: User is blocked by Sony, from customisation, unlocking, etc - for instance I am only allowed to install from Google-Play (no matter if "install from unknown sources is selected") - forget about apk-installs etc.
Sony's "on behalf of the end-user protection" keeps the phone from being fully operational.
Unlocking the phone and installing screen-level programs is also blocked - and sony-support will not help.
Camera: Unfortunately, it takes Shaky and often blurred pictures (the EIS stinks!). They have good colours, though. But HDR is also not very effective (only helps a tiny bit). The camera cannot compete with for instance the LG G2's (with OIS, which I did own before this laugh of a smartphone!) - the G2 took not-shaken pictures, even in night-time, with great HDR-contrast.
Reviews: I believed the reviews writing & saying this phone had a "superp camera" (with EIS etc) - but in real life situations, I have now so many blurred pictures with the "X compact", that I regret switching from the LG G2 (which in my case showed up to be a "not used, but repaired / refurbished unit", that had some other issues because of this, and went dead - and I thought I would "upgrade" to a never unit).
Sad story, because the "Upgrade" turned out to be a big DOWNGRADE !!

I have the X Compact but I'm quite disappointed in the performance of the Snapdragon 650 when viewing a hi-res photo. Please do this test yourself if you have this phone: tap the album app and select a hi-res photo, then double tap to zoom. It takes anywhere anywhere from 7 seconds to much higher duration for the image to sharpen up. Some say it's great for day to day use, but it becomes quite tedious to wait for each image to load properly. It seems underpowered at least for viewing hi-res images
