      In short, it's a bang-for-bucks
      Yet, you should consider a discount period though

      Long answer in my opinion:

      I would say you have to go for the XZ1 Compact instead of X Compact
      because of:
      1: XZ1c is more cost-effective with better packed features including the camera, camera software. On the other hand, the Xc was released in a time where we had... budget-tight Sony. Everything is mid-ranged, not worth an upgrade after Z5. Camera is good yet the software behind the viewfinder is bad, especially looking at HDR quality then, the phone heats to the point Camera has to close after abt 10 mins. The inly premium is the Snapdragon 820 yet, the 600$+ launch price tag is not right. The X (X, X performance, Xc) seems half-assed to me.
      2. This results from the above point as well that due to those components, X is not well optimized. You will experience lags, RAM suffocates (only 3GBs for Nougat above is not enough), heat-ups and battery drained drastically. Dunno why. But even my Z3c does his job better than X Compact.

              How about the battery life. Is it good? And performance, speakers quality and audio quality? Good?

                Getterpry, 25 Mar 2018How was the camera? I planning to buy this phone. ThanksOo the camera question. Well going by what every other owner says, the camera is good, but not going to blow your socks off. I haven't tried it, but with a tripod and manual camera work you can probably take some pretty good low light shots. I stuck a 128gb micro sd card into my xz1 Compact because I enjoy taking lots of pictures and videos. You do lose clarity when you say zoom in on some trees off into the distance. I took the picture for the whole environment, not just the tree haha.

                I bought this phone for battery life, a size, and camera. I take pictures for myself and friends, not for social media.

                If camera is really important to you, I hear Pixel camera is pretty good, or even an s8. If I had to choose other than this phone, I would've gone with Pixel 2 (if it was cheaper) or Lg G6 (for the wide angle lens).

                In short: It's up there, but not #1 in smartphone cameras. Hopefully in future updates it improves. If photographer no, if you like taking pictures perhaps. For me it's great.

                I hope I helped you in your question

                            Hey, so I’m wanting a new phone for my birthday. I currently have a Z5C and recently the battery drain problem has been real. And so I’ve boiled my choices down to the Google Pixel or the XZ1C but not sure which. I really love Sony’s UI but I’m worried battery life is going to be an issue. Any unbiased thoughts? I’m not sure what I want from a phone, decent battery life I suppose and not too large for my tiny hands

                              Excellent reception. At the signal bar it's always 1-2 bar compare to my other phone on the same network which is 2-3-4 bar but somehow it's the same in term of call quality or data

I just read feedbacks on Amazon again and noticed... moreWould be nice for you to link a specific source(s) vs just a general "shipping company's name" (Amazon) else you just are taken as a troll. I've read no reports of this ... Esato.com Forums, XDA Forums, Review on MobileSyrup.com or many other reviews from youtube.

                                you see I've named 3 direct sites (2 being forums which you can isolate via XZ1 Compact, the topic at hand). You're naming a shipping company that has loads of regional sites and sellers to each region posting which reviews as you claim are customer feedback from devices shipped to them We have no idea how far or the condition of the XZ1 Compact shipped to customers from Amazon (dropped from a 3rd party delivery company at their door or handed to them with signature upon arrival or with a building superintendent.

                                again source or it's just trolling.

                                    Hey guys! I just read feedbacks on Amazon again and noticed there are a lot of complaints connected with the poor signal or a complete loss f the signal, as a result missed calls and SMS, in other words the most important function of the phone fails to perform. Those of you who have this phone is it true? Or has it become better with new update? Thnx
