General question about the device

LogicalDude — Wed, 18 Dec 2019 21:10:10 GMT

Dear forum,

Finally, after a long search, I was finally able to find the device that I wanted to buy: the Xperia XZ2 Compact!

I found it from a trusted EU retailer for an all in price of about EUR 400. Given that the Xperia 5 has a price double that amount, is bigger and has 3 cames, this is no-brainer for me!

To make the long story short, can you dear users recommend me the phone or not? I've been using the Xperia Z3 compact for over 4 years now and I am generally happy with it. Are there some very common issues that I should be aware about or can I buy with a smile?

If it matters, I am mainly using the phone for social networks, some small games here and there. I've always used Sony and there is a brand loyalty. Also, based on the reviews I've read, there is no other phone in the compact class that even gets close to Xperia XZ2 Compact (not to mention the price range).

Happy to hear your thoughts on that!

@LogicalDudeI've been quite happy with my XZ2 Compact, and personally haven't experienced any issues with my device. it feels good in the hand, and it's fast and snappy. I also used to use a Z3 Compact in the past (as well as some other devices in-between), and I'd say it's a worthy successor, even though it's just a tiny little bit taller. I wish it had a headphone jack, but that's my only real complaint.

I positively LOVE the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact. Fits my pocket. Feels great in the hand. The fingerprint reader is fabulous. Since I do not stream movies or keep power hungry apps open all the time (camera, navigation), it goes two complete days on a charge. VERY happy with it.

I made the upgrade from a z3 compact to an xz2 compact about 6 months ago. I'm generally very happy; it's fast, runs recent software, has a much better camera. It can still comfortably be used in one hand. The only downside is that it's still noticeably thicker and heavier than the z3 compact. Even now I still notice that. It's perfectly fine to use in one hand, the weight just makes it slightly less comfortable.

That seems more like an "observation" than a question.
