skandi343, 10 Jun 2023Considering the Xperia XZ1 Compact's outdated Android ... moreFocus to the galaxy s10e if you don't care about the 60hz display, it has great specs and relatively compact (10mm higher than xz1c)
I used my first xz1c for 3 years and the other around 1 year and half but the 32gb isn't enough, but they are still great compact devices!
I posted there because I will buy soon a s10e if I can't find a model like s10e with 120hz under 300€ xd (s22 is too expensive for me but is very similar to the s10e, including size)

Considering the Xperia XZ1 Compact's outdated Android 9 and locked bootloader on the Docomo SO-02K variant, is it still worth buying? I'm concerned about software support, performance, camera quality, and battery life. Your valuable insights are appreciated! Thanks!

thelostowl, 14 Apr 2023Hi , I would like to ask , since it`s been something I`ve b... moreThere are two ways to use SD card. When you insert a card, a notification asks you to choose.
1. You can use SD card as an external storage. In this case, app data can not go in this usually. Some apps like camera give you an option to change the default storage to SD card.
2. You can merge your SD card with the internal storage. For this, SD card will be formatted and merged. If you check for storage in settings, it will only show internal storage with increased space. In this case, there is practically no external storage and your phone behaves as if it has a lot of internal storage. Needless to say, everything can be stored on SD card in this case. But, if you remove the card and try to read it externally, you will not be able to read anything.

Buil... moreHi , I would like to ask , since it`s been something I`ve been wrapping my mind about each time pretty much I would consider buying this phone or similar - my question is whether you can use your micro SD card as your normal daily local storage , because I`ve read that only the internal built up one can be used for installing apps and everything along with it, some others will say otherwise but I was still not left with a proper answer to this.
Thank you in advance! All the best
