Mr Grumpy, 01 Aug 2017The only two things that make the X Compact a "better" comp... moreMy choices of a bigger phone is started to wane slowly. The A5 2017 is too expensive for its specs. The disappointment of the Moto G5 Plus having no compass was a deal breaker for me. The J5 2017 is again expensive for its specs and the camera is a disappointment (same as the Nokia 5) and the UK-made Wileyfox Swift 2X has questionable video recording audio, no image stabilisation though price is affordable for its specs. So, I'm stuck with the X Compact, Galaxy A3 2017 and iPhone 6S.

Gino76, 30 Jul 2017Might sound like a stupid question but what makes the X Com... moreThe only two things that make the X Compact a "better" compact than any of those alternatives is the battery life and the 3GB RAM. If those are not too important to you then the the iPhone SE is smaller, the Z5 Compact has IP68 certification and is fractionally smaller and the iPhone 6s is a different class of phone altogether so not even a proper alternative.

Might sound like a stupid question but what makes the X Compact a better "compact" phone than say the Z5 Compact, iPhone SE or the 6S?

Kat, 17 Jul 2017Try kimstore.. They have it thereYeah. But it's out of stock there. Plus there's no official warranty from Sony, so if it has a defect you're screwed.

AnonD-683892, 11 Jul 2017yes its true, z1 compact more durable, about 3 meters drop ... moreAlso less surface area for a virtually thicker ratio of the front panel glass. Assuming that all glass panels for these phones are cut from the same sheet, then the thickness ratio thins out the bigger the display. My Z3 compact for example has fallen a few times (1 fall was kinda scary) and the screen still looks good as new! So yes, I'm a huge fan of compact devices for this reason!

Samsung is not worth paying - not for the value which you're paying; quality is not as superior as Sony Xperia series. Ever used Samsung prior to Sony's development on smartphones. But never like Samsung any more once I had purchased and used Sony Xperia ZXs and Premium phones.

None of your claims are true: the batery life is long, about 48 hours using ocasionally web browsing. The image is with high contrast, sharp, vivid colors, natural. But for some people it will never be anything else better than iPhone and Samsung Galaxy so please never buy anything else ghus live your life happy. The same happens with BMW M and Mercedes AMG, it does not matter other cars for some.
