Despite a lot of people not liking its dimensions, I highly doubt there'll be an SD845 flagship phone more compact than this. Screen-to-body ratio could have been higher though, but it's not really bad as it is. Hopefully, next year's Snapdragon flagship SoC will be even more power efficient so that a smaller battery would still last really long. Thus, the successor to this phone would have more compact dimensions and even higher stb ratio. For now, let's just take a moment to appreciate this phone for having a very high pixel density.

marko97sx, 27 Feb 2018I just have to be, because people on here are impossible. S... moreLet me educate you. It's not just about the thickness. It's about the whole package. The beauty with the xperia z3 compact was the very fact that you can hold it and squeeze it and use it comfortably in one hand. It wasn't bulky. It wasn't unwieldy. The design was ergonomic and it worked very well. It had an amazing battery life and it was one tough cookie. The screen could have been better but at its heyday, 1080p was the riot and so 720p was not bad at all.
Now we have a taller and thicker and heavier phone with an asymmetric back that, while possibly making the grip better, does NOT, for all intents and purposes make a compact phone. And for what? To allow for a measly increase in battery capacity? I wasn't one of the people clamoring for a bigger battery. Efficiency beats size any day anyway. I can probably forgive it if it also increases battery life nearly 50% but i'm not holding my breath here.
At the end of the day, marketing it as a compact and slapping a price tag twice that of a proper xperia compact is a travesty even to the loyal sony fanbase.

Imperator Neubaticus, 27 Feb 2018It's taller than the z3 compact, the last great xperia. It'... moreI just have to be, because people on here are impossible. Sure, it's thick, bot okay, not a huge dealbreaker, and since when do we care about phone mass? When did someone say 'Oh, I can't hold it, it's too heavy'. Okay, sorry for calling you names, I was triggered, I have no quarrel with you. But, here's just a friendly note (to everyone, not just you) the phone on the sides is 7mm thick, it even explains on their website, but it's 12mm thick in the middle ONLY, and most of smartphone users don't touch the middle too much, so it's not everywhere 12mm, it's only in the middle, so from the sides, the thickness is increasing to the middle and that is it. So,
1. Thickness should not be a problem, you all wanted a bigger battery, so there you go, the biggest battery in any Xperia Compact phone
2. 5" screen, it's still a Compact PHONE, not the screen.
So it's not a bad phone at all, calm down y'all

It's also nearly 50% thicker for only 270mah increase in battery. Then it's around 40g heavier. There's nothing compact about it. How about you use YOUR brain and not be ironically ignorant?

At first, I was also dissapointed with the thickness, but then I saw that the thickness is only in the most center point of the phone, with a round shape which fits nice in the hand. The bulge is probably because of the fingerprint sensor or something, because otherwise I don't see any reason they would need that. Battery is only 170mAh more than the old compact, so not related to it.
Related to the size of the phone, yeah, I think it is a move in the right direction. As long as it is the same width, it is ok.
All in all, a nice package, but not worth 600 euros, more like 500 tops.

Viktorir, 26 Feb 201812.1mm?? Is it 2009 again?You try fitting a 10000 mAh battery in a 6mm thin phone and then you can complain how much you want.

Okay, Basics 101: The screen is the exact same width as XZ1 Compact, but it is TALLER, and because it's TALLER and not WIDER, it has smaller bezels, you know, the thing you WANTED? Now, the phone is thicker because of the battery, because... Logic... What is there not to understand?

The XZ2C is bigger than XZ1C by a millimetre, no difference, the screen is 5" but it has smaller bezels than previous XZ1C. It's better in every way, I don't see what's your problem here
