sportsman, 27 Aug 2018Z3c does not have any physical button for the fingerprint. ... moreOops, sorry, Z5c :-D .
Got mixed up because I was debating which to get. Z3c won out for one reason: rooting without having to unlock the bootloader.
Next phone I get will probably be this XZ1 Compact, as it seems to be the last with a proper headphone jack. I prefer the shape over the newer ones, with rounded corners (yuck!).

The Xperia ZR was the only Xperia to be water-resistant and still have a removable battery and headphone jack. It was also quite compact for its time. Now we live in a time where everything just seems worse.
Big phones
Sealed battery
No headphone jack

I recently bought the XZ1 compact. I think it is a great value compact phone. But there is one aspect that troubles me a lot. The housing and screen of the phone strongly resonates at some (mid) frequency’s in music and speech. I am surprised how well I can feel the vibrations when I hold the phone in my hands. I also regularly have the listening experience that the sound is distorted by the resonating housing which adds an unpleasant vibration to the sound. Surprisingly none of the reviews I have seen mention this aspect. Is this normal for this phone or should I return this one and buy another one hoping that one does not have that resonating problem.

Had xperia xz 5.2 inch for 2 years, which served me perfectly, but i did damage the phone a lot as i am working on the building, so i bought xperia xz1 compact few days ago, what beautiful solid phone, couple days was strange for me because of the 4.6 inch screen, got used now, i love this phone, is fast smooth great camera, great great battery, headphones jack, what more u want. I could gone for xperia xz2 compact, but 5 inch phone i can't call compact phone , thick curved back not for my test, i like xperia z5 XZ xz1 design.Sony u should make compact phones similar to xperia xz xz1 series with fully screen, xperia xz1 compact fully screen 4.8 inch would be a perfect compact phone.

sportsman, 13 Aug 2018Are there more product codes or only one is available for t... moreWith Z3c, the fingerprint hardware was disabled in the software, so all you had to do was get Flashtool and install a ROM that had it enabled. I think it is only the US and Canada that disabled the fingerprint reader, so install the UK or wherever ROM, and you are good.
Flashtool has the Xperifirm tool built-in, so it has everything you need to download the latest official ROMs and flash your phone. If you want an older ROM, you will have to check XDA forums.

Anonymous, 19 Aug 2018Your options are very limited if small is key factor in you... moreThe only other option is a Samsung Galaxy A3. Much cheaper than XZ1 Compact and with a much better camera but only has 2GB RAM and 16GB storage.

Just got this phone this week. Great hardware, but Sony have decided that you mustn't put Apps on the SD card (they say they're slower and less reliable on the card).
You can't format your SD card as internal storage, and you can't even transfer any apps at all onto the SD card the old way. This means that you're stuck with the 32Gb for apps.
Some apps struggle to see the SD card (but on the Sony support forums they say to format the card, do a factory reset and then format it again to fix this issue, and make sure all the apps that you want to use SD card for storage have the Storage permission.)
I couldn't finish the transfer from my old phone and have had to delete a bunch of apps. :(
Honestly, Sony, it's 2018 and you should at least allow us to put at least some apps on the card.

This phone doesn't and so a lot of pics look cartoony. It's a fast camera don't get me wrong, but the pics are average. I don't mind that since I am not an avid pic taker for social media. I do appreciate the good battery life. I haven't charged in 2 days.
