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.

Are there more product codes or only one is available for the enables fingerprint sensor?
*more version = kind of what Z3C had, with a "good version" and a bad one with less updates and more hussle

Anonymous, 24 Apr 2018does z5 compact overheat or battery drain of sd 810 on norm... moreYes it does and I noticed that the battery drain faster when it's hot. I'm thinking of getting the XZ1C or may wait for XZ3C. hope we can still have a 4.6" compact phone not 5". 4.6" with a 18:9 aspect ratio may make the phone's foot print smaller... i think.

Just ordered this beast after long and a bit painful conparoson with xz2c. The price has had its final word tough. Will update after couple of months.
An experienced Sony user here having used Xperia ZR for 4 years, still getting 3-4h sot with a 2300 mah, now hoping for at least 5-6 tough some xz1c users have announced it can last two or even three days with ease. We shall see...

Bought one of these recently and given the professional reviews! was looking forward to the purchase
I wish i had looked at customer reviews first as although this is a lovely phone and very fast it kept rebooting to safe mode when powered off, the only way i could shut it down and this is on the Sony site was to hold the volume button and power button at same time,anyway sent it back
