This is not just a clickbait type of title. I think that the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact is the best small Android phone because... there is no competition! Everyone seems to have stopped making compact phones but there is still a market for them. Do you agree that there should be more flagship compact devices?
TechLineHD absolutely! Not everyone wants a big phone but keep the body small, the screen big and 3000 mah 🔋! Cant decide on between getting this phone because of the perfect small or the regular xz1 because of the price!
Bhavin Lakdawala to be honest there are other smart phones that doesnt have the double camera and do an aweome job. Its all personal preference, everybody has different needs. ✌
Bhavin Lakdawala ok i can agree, id wish more phone companies would do more wide angle cameras as there secondary 📷
Well Linus, there is a competition IPhone 8 and Google pixel 2. Yet XZ2c is the best among them. Nice review btw...
If you would have asked me this question couple of month ago, i totally would have agreed with you.
but since then, i went from the redmi 4X to the oneplus 5t and i cant say it feels uncomfortble . the narrow body , the curves and oxygen OS, makes it quite usable in one hand
Sony is ome of the Few Companies that still focuses on making Flagships with variation of form factor
That's nice 👌👌
I'm glad that Sony is still making the compact series as they were always great and the XZ2 is no exception.
The more ppl realize how great Xperias are, the better for the market.
By the way, good review Linus.
Smartphones are personal multimedia devices...no headphone jack is a major drawback - it is the trend but it's very frustrating in real world use
yes it is. i sleep with my earbuds while charging the phone and that's not possible with this phone
@@nvandermark3517 It is possible, there is an adapter with both USB and 3,5mm socket available from Sony.
Such a shame there is no headphone jack...
I got this phone for 300 euros (new) It feels really good in hand, thickness doesn't bother at all.
Hi! May I ask you where you got it for that price? Do you still have the phone and it works fine?
Really good work again, Linus! I'm pleased that Sony has maintained this trend where the smaller versions of the flagship are worthy of the flagship name in terms of specs and performance, particularly since the Z3/Z3 Compact. It was a bug bear of mine when Samsung's Galaxy S3 Mini and S4 Mini were Galaxy S models in name only since the specs were so watered down.
Thanks a lot! Yeah Sony is doing a great job with the Compact series!
Getting mine today in France 👍🏻 currently using an iPhone SE. Great expectations here for this new device!
Do you recommend it, after several months using it?
@@eze_lpda94 I have one, without a doubt
Right now the most real reviewer on youtube, with all the detail about a smartphone not biased. I enjoy every video just dont change like the others keep working like this.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate that!
And again a great Compact from Sony.
The pictures are just amazing, this this year Sony nailed it!
The amount of detail is great and the colors are very natural.
It is capable of more. The camera supports RAW but SONY has not implemented it natively. This is a draw back on using post processing in the camera 2 API which somewhat handicaps its potential compared to other phones
As long as the camera is good with the default app, I don't really see any drawback...
Nice review as usual. Snow and water! That's what I like to see. One of these days a phone will drown however.... :-( Just kidding, good stuff and I think 5 -5.5 inch is more than large enough for a phone.
Thanks Tim! I almost drowned a phone a few times lol.
Yeah, you made the list of top 5 reviewers on TH-cam due to the water/snow stuff. (covered in my latest video and the end of the actual subject of keyboards).
Thanks a lot, Tim! Gonna check that out soon!
Nice video Linus, it's interesting that Sony made such a compact, thick phone in the age of thin&light bezel-less smartphones with huge displays...
Thanks! Well, it's a niche product and there is a market share for it
yeah this phone is for me
Not really the best. Mine had a software problem. The microphone volume and adjustment was not working normally. The quality of call was not good and varies time to time. People on the phone could not hear my voice!
The most comfortable voice I've heard in any review ("Keep in my mind that I've tiny hobbit hands")
PUT A FUCKING HEADPHONE JACK ON IT!
I love compact phones!every company should produce compact ones with flagship features!really pricy for me but i wish i will buy one soon!!i own a sony XA1 and i love it despite the bad camera quality...if i buy this one the difference will be huge!really nice video!thanks
Superb review of a great tiny phone! Love your quality man, among the best on TH-cam!
Thanks a lot!
Sony is and was always the first in everything. To bad most ofpeople don't know these and are just wolowing 'the hype'
18:9 no thanks and no headphones
You can't avoid 18:9 anymore, and it's a silly thing to be stubborn about. The headphone jack is a more serious issue.
Xperiaはやっぱりいいな
I think the best is XZ1 cause it has a wonderful! beloved Headphone jack😍
I just picked one up. I walk everywhere and appreciate the form factor. Here in Seattle, of course, the waterproofing takes away some worries too. We’ll see how much I miss my Moto. The one big disappointment that almost held me back was the shitty RAM allocation. For this kind of money I expect 6 or 8 gigs. This phone only has as much as some $200-?300 competitors.
Are there Stereo Microphones and if there are are Stereo Microphones are they wired to the wrong side like the XA2 Ultra?
TNX.
BTW too bad Sony didn't do Dolby.
And I have a video that proves the microphones on the XA2 Ultra are wired backwards here:
th-cam.com/video/LdRzD4YOcuA/w-d-xo.html
So as me, this is amazing phone. Sony xz2 Compact.
Xz1 had headphone jack, and actually had a compact screen, 5" isn't compact
Compact my ass, this is almost as big as an S7. Sad that Sony constantly messes up everything they touch. The Z5 Compact was pretty much perfect.
At least they make an option to have a compact phone
Compact my ass. :D 12mm thickness LOL
It's sad that a good Sony phone like this is having a 18:9 screen and no 3.5mm Jack. For me, it's not a buy.
Replying back to you and Joe Me, but my personal conspiracy is that the phone manufacturers are getting some kind of kick back for cutting the headphone jack. Remove them, and the headphone companies will give them some incentive. It's all about the bluetooth business now. Accessories business is a big market. ;)
I would love to like this phone, but the look of that thick backside is just too ugly for me to handle. The phone is probably great, but the design is one of the ugliest i have ever seen!
Won
noooooo its not the best ,maybe it has the latest chipset and screen and good camera , but wtf i hpld it in my hands and it feel verry thick, not mentioning that if u want to put a case on it it will be a proper brick... and heavy and feels verry cheap . My opinion is that is worst compact Sony till now ... Im soooo disappointed
Where do you live? It seems like cold in every season
Lithuania. Yes, it's very cold!
Then person like me tend to put a case..it will surely double the thickness..haixt.
If they maintain the front design and change the design of the back that looks like cheap Chinese phones. It will sell like hot cakes.
I agree with you that XZ2c is a monster cute phone. No other oem can match this small titan. but its DNA is quite inferior than the bigger sibling - no wireless charging + no haptic feedback...
I can live w/o wireless charging, but w/o haptic feedback + no jack + 18:9 aspect + 5mp front shooter = nø buy. 😞😧😰
The bigger brother? It's nø Sony! It's HTC! 😝
One of the best compact phone.
Glad to see someone who also thinks this is an amazing piece of technology. Also, I'm also part of the tiny hobbit hands squad, hence why I ordered this phone 😂 Nice expansive review!!
Hi for everyone ! you I am the new owner of Xperia compact xz2 this some phone ,,best of the best'' n1 from compacts
Anyone used it on Verizon? Any Good?
I love Techline HD. You are amazing.
I have pre ordered this phone with Vodafone £39 a month really good deal phone arrives on its release date and it is a upgrade from what I have now the slow sluggish Xperia XA I am looking forward to using this phone
LOL why is it still called compact?
because its still can use with single hand tho..i wish i could buy this phone👍
fingerprint sensor on the back instead of the side, no headphone jack = trash
informative review as always Linus
Thanks Usman!
xz1 compact all day
9 hours+ of screen on time is impressive. But why on earth wouldn't they include a fast charger?
@SwissChickn6 I wasn't aware of that. Do you have a source for that info?
Nice phone, isn't it?
3D model is kind of usefull for making drawing references :3 that idea just popped up from nowhere :3
Good review, so nice to have soothing tones rather the usual American ''Hi guys s'up'' Phone works for Elf hands too.
hahahha thanks a lot!
In Sweden Nordic market the phone comes with quickcharger supiled
What else do you want from a compact device??
Thanks alot
Perfect size for Asians!
But dislike that thick af body only has 2870 mAh battery...
but its perform very well as other smartphone with 4000mah did👌
from the front, this phone is amazing, as soon as you hold it and realize how heavy and thick it is, its impossible to get used to
Get s10e snapdragon ver, way better
does have 3,5 med mer Jack and does it have vibration?
Excellent review!
Btw, anyone knows what the theme at 7:53 is?
Do you think Sony will make compact model with dual camera?
Sony is developing a killer dual camera setup but the second sensor will be used for night photography. We'll see
TechLineHD 👍👍👍👍
Is so cute 😍
The back design is a deal breaker! Why they not keeping glass back like regular XZ2?? Look so bulky -even ZX1 compact is more sleeker than this.
Which is better between this xz2 compact and the xz1 compact? Xz1c has more battery life, and maybe is more usable with one hand then the xz2c.
xz2 compact is a better phone
TechLineHD how big is the battery life difference between them?
Great specs but the design looks very dated..
Dual sim is worth mentioning.
Good review Linus, what did you shoot this with? Do you review the XZ2
Thanks a lot! I've shot the video with the Panasonic G7 + Sigma 18-35 lens. Yes, I've reviewed the Z2: th-cam.com/video/UxWhZUIq9U4/w-d-xo.html
very good and informative review
Thanks a lot!
Nice review sir, plz full review the galaxy S9 plus and also Huawei P20 pro
Thank you very much! P20 Pro review is coming out soon. It's half-way done
That’s a nice and detailed review
Great job Sony, but a bit expensive
Thank you!
Sony's pages says that the IP is 65
It wish I can get this
Xz2 compact or OP6T???
The portraits are good though
best phone!!!! wish the screen resolution was just fhd not plus for more battery life!
I couldn't be Fhd because it"s a 18:9 screen :(
that i didnt know..do them again 16:9 then :P
you look like my son :)
That's not compact
another great device but at 649 us .. about 1000 Can $ oupss .. at this price i could buy a normal phone with a go pro to take good video and picture .. ;) thank for the review
Nope, Its Xperia XZ2 costs $799, while the Xperia XZ2 Compact goes for $649..
Maybe but it's a phone ..
Thanks, Franky!
TechLineHD it's really looking good and I'm sure quality is there
comprehensive and well presented. good job!
Thank you very much!
thickness = 12.1 mm
I'll get the XZ1
Big price for a small phone yes it has flagship specs but 500Euros would be ideal since it is poly-carbonate and no wireless charging
Slow-motion feature is well implemented in Samsung wish Sony can copy it.
Otherwise nice video Linus.
Thanks, Daniel! Yeah, the all-metal design would have been great.
Sony have had slow motion since the z3?
but modern plast is literally harder than steel. So many modern plast solutions are 5 times stronger than steel
Nokia Lumia had some of the best quality plastics out there..very solid and strong.
Yes that is true but the implementation in Samsung where the capture is automatic is better and it will take the shot almost every time.
5inch is not compact
the physical size (height/width) of the compact did not changed since the Z1 compact. Only the bezels got smaller thus the screen went form 4.4" to 5".
Gabor Lehocky nope, they have been changed...
XZ2C: 135 x 65 x 12.1 mm (5.31 x 2.6 x 0.48 inches)
XZ1C: 129 x 64 x 9.3 mm (5.08 x 2.52 x 0.37 inches)
It is pretty compact compared with any flagship device nowadays.
In person, it's pretty small.
Sony is best
Is it better than pixel 2?
Noh way dude...
ofc. Pixel is trash with bezels from 2012.
Great review!
Nice
I love thick, old school, ugly, overpriced plastic phones...
👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
Nice
But what you Recomend XZ2 or XZ2 Compact ?
I will release a detailed comparison tomorrow. I recommend the XZ2.
Ok will be waiting :)
😍😍😍
Good review 👍 Thanks.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate that!
good review thanks !!!!
Thank you very much!
great review. thanks.
Thank you very much!
They’re so expensive! 😧
....
€600 is not that expensive for a flagship phone
Lazy Turtle for me ! it is expensive!
With that price I will go for an iPhone
lmao why would you buy a 2 year old iphone if you can buy a flagship android phone from 2018 for the same price?
To be honest
I’m not an Android fan
I have an iPhone 7
It’s about 2 years older as you mentioned
But I don’t think this phone can keep up with it 🙃
Conglatulations for Chanel.
Thanks so much!
Finally, a compact smartphone.... I've been waiting so long!!!
Waiting so long? Sony makes the new one every 10-12 months
shame on u
*GOOD JOB*
Thanks a lot, man!
Its a great device , however you make sure you have a real good protective case for this phone coze it tends to quickly slip of your hands ...there is no issue with the headphones use eventhough no jack ..Initially I had great concern regarding Sony products with propriatery software and very poor cutsome support world wide , however is a great device less apps the on Huwaei but in all is a great device !
5.7"..not 5"..
fantastic life 5" for the compact
it's 5". 5.7" - regular XZ2
XZ2 vs LG V30+ ?
XZ2
Do you do phone giveaways?
Best real compact phone is still the iPhone SE
apie74 ehemm pixel 2 ehemm
Cant agree more :)
