    I have this phone more than 1 month, the battery life is lower than I see here on other posts.
    I have the latest update of android, but the battery lasts max 1 day, with 4G all the time.
    The screen time is around 2 1/2 - 3 hours. What should I do, the increase the battery life time ?

      Langton , 03 Jan 2018I have Z5 compact and wanted to replace it with the new XZ1... moreWhen i bought my XZ1 Compact, i thought the same as you - FM radio must be really necessarry. Now i can say - it's definately not the real problem, cause I have unlimited data plan, so i can listen radio on the internet. And in the future costs of data will fall down, so it will not be necessary to build FM radio modules in smartphones. But there is other problem with this phone model: if you have been used Z series, you will not be satisfied to replace anyone of them with XZ1, just because there is no big difference (Z1/Z3/Z5 are old one, XZ1 are new one, but both of them are cool and neither of them lags). So, why should you buy the new one if the old one can satisfy all your needs? :/

        I have Z5 compact and wanted to replace it with the new XZ1 compact. Due to the fact that it has no radio l am going to hang on to my Z5 compact. If Sony going forward is dumping the radio, it means after more than 10 years with them l am finally going to move on and find a new home. Thanks.

            I have used this phone for two months and have much to say about it. All in all the phone is good and stable, but there are some bugs that could be fixed by firmware updates (I hope so).

            Some of bugs and disadvantages I have expierenced:
            - loud, annoying beep from loudspeakers at the end of almost every call (even at silent mode)
            - sometimes the screen turns on landscape mode after phone calls (it can be undone by locking and unlocking the screen)
            - the fingerprint sensor works good, but its impossible to watch the clock without unlocking the display (I hate it, so i disabled the fingerprint sensor at all)
            - 3D scanner does not work as good as I expected when bought the phone
            - camera has good auto-focus, but pictures sometimes are grainy when zoomed in (after pictures are taken), furthermore tha camera app always prefers me to shoot series of pictures (even if I disabled this option)
            - shooting in slow-motion mode is inconvenient, in addition each time you can shoot only 1 second (or smth) in slow-motion
            - I dropped the phone on the wooden floor and unfortunately the original plastic back case (body of the phone) got smashed at one side (as well as LCD - it's a little smashed but still working)
            + battery life is pretty long
            + phone speed is really impressive, without any lagging

            So, I am waiting for firmware updates, Sony!

                            Have it 2 month now and it is a great phone ..
                            Battery is even better than the older Z3 Compact..
                            It can go easily 3 days with moderate use...
                            longest I had it was 5 days.

                              Great phone, I just wish there was a case like an otterbox or something to keep it safe. There's nothing more soul destroying than your screen breaking on your phone. The fact that you can't use it and that your gonna pay €90 r so to get it back to normal. These glass screens are nothing but a con anyway. I have an old xperia E and if you bounced the thing off the wall a hundred times it wouldn't effect it. Fuck glass screens. Were being ripped off because they are well able to make tougher screens but they are probably getting back handers from someone telling them not too.

                                There is a horrible frame drop with the John NES emultator in this phone.
                                Impossible to understand. Almost unplayable.
                                That emulator worked even in a Galaxy S. But it seems like a flagship device with the last technology isn't able to run it properly.
