duphii, 02 Apr 2019Big disappointment with this phone. Don't get me wrong, the... moreHi,

I'm so thankful to read this comment. Exactly what I was looking for. I'm having the same issues with the phone, the thing with the apps and locked screen and the GPS problems...And I've been using the phone for over 1 year now and its getting worse and worse.
That sucks, because I've also wanted this to be my long term device. Always had it with the case on and it still looks like new and the battery is a banger.
The camera sucks. I can't rely on this thing to take a decent photo. Video shots are quite fine tho.

Regards.

      It IS convenient, but it does put additional wear on the battery (battery is subjected to higher than normal/recommended temp during wireless charging)

        Overall a decent phone with a couple of flaws.
        The phone is smooth, with a somewhat decent camera with pretty subpar night shots. It unfortunately crushes the blacks during night shots. It has a decent slow-mo camera shot, but outside of that it isn't any useful.

        I want to point out the biggest flaw of this phone.
        GPS problems. If you go on the internet, you will see the most common complaint about this phone is the GPS.
        It has the weakest GPS, often times dropping signal and has made me get lost in unfamiliar areas many times.

And already drop for a few time but glass still not broken. Compared to my previous z ultra just fall once already broke. I think the plastic body and wearing case make big different because sony phone is fragile but this one is different due to polycarbonate body

                  Don't buy this phone.
                  Glass will brake by its own, warrany service will decline free repair. You will have to pay extra 100eur to replace display! yes, display! because protective screen iz glued directly to the display.

                  @sony nxet time most fragile part glue to the main board, it will be win-win: no warrany services needed and income will raise miltiple times!

                      JC, 18 May 2019Anyone else having selfie cam issues with the xz1 compact? ... moreNot sure if it's of any help but I had a problem with a camera on a z3 compact. For this it helped to: both clear the cache of the camera app and all cache in general (there it was in settings > storage > internal). Then restart the phone but not in a normal way: hold the power and volume UP button until it turns off. Then turn on by power and button down until Sony sign comes on. Maybe it works for you too..

                              I have this phone since it was released and I think it's the last good phone made by Sony. It's the best small high-end android phone in my opinion. It has everything I need. Stereo speakers, 3.5mm audio jack, good battery life, nice form factor, smooth performance, etc. The only drawback I had when I purchased it was sharp phone corners but after a month I got used to it and it's not a drawback anymore. Believe me, it's nothing compared to all the good things. I recommend this phone to anyone and I'm sad they don't make phones like this anymore because I have no idea what to buy next when my current phone becomes obsolete.

                                The down sides for me are:

                                -The sharp corners on the phone make it a bit uncomfortable in the pocket,
                                -Storage seems a bit small. I'm always running out of space (it's always full of pictures)

                                  Reknilador, 21 May 2019Has anyone used this phone for an extended period of time ?... moreSee my post below, I got this phone for about 2 years now, and I started having the issue with the front cam about 8 months ago.

                                    Has anyone used this phone for an extended period of time ? Is it worth it? Are there any issues? I'm looking for a small phone with high end specs and this one checks all the marks at least on paper.

                                      The back camera works, but whenever I switch to the front/selfie cam, I keep getting Error "cannot start camera. restart camera or device"

                                      I've already tried the following but no luck
                                      - restarting the camera
                                      - restarting the device
                                      - clearing camera cache/data
                                      - factory reset the phone
                                      - installed latest updates

                                        This is the first mobile phone I don't treat like a fragile art piece. I don't even have a cover for it. No screen protector. I dropped it numerous times and it gets a bit of paint come off its metal frame but that's about it. Now onto the main reason why I bought it:, battery life. AMAZING. I use both earphones and Bluetooth earphones. I was in 2 minds over to get this or new compact which has slightly increased dimensions but got this for half the price.

                                        The only slight niggle although it's not a biggie is the microphone button on keyboard for talk typing.
