- Everyone has forgotten the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact, but I think this is an amazing phone. It has every feature you could ask for, but is it actually good?

I'm still using mine every day. I don't like large smartphones so migrating to something else is not much of an option right now. I finally made the decision to update mine from Android 9 to Android 13 with a custom Lineage OS 20 ROM. I'm super happy with the result.
Any issues so far, and how I am having s0 02 japenese model
For me the hidden gem was the xperia z1 compact, at the time the android land was all made of plastic this was a made from glass and aluminum, a great cam, and waterproof and small, more or less the iPhone 6 size, the bad was the not so great software support. but the Z2 and Z3 corrects this, and still has LineageOS official support after 10 years.
this phone used to sell massively couple years ago in my country as a secondhand junk phone from japan. yet lots of them had a problem related to the signal carrier which the signal turnef off by all the carrier after couple months simcard inserted. it is easily became hot when it used as daily driver. this phone designed to be used in 4 seasons country, not to be used in tropical region which most of the time is hot summer and dry season

There is two bad things with this phone. The start button is not where it should be, and the flashlight is very weak.
Great review, subscribed. Do you loose camera features after rooting? eg. 960fps, shutter button? I had z2, dynamic range is low but with controlled light, 4k quailty is still amazing. rocking the 1 iii now.
Thanks!
If you don't have Sony's camera app you can do 120fps slo-mo in Open Camera, but not higher. I tried sideloading the Sony camera app but it didn't let me do it in LineageOS. Shutter button works completely fine, you can even configure it to launch the camera from the lock screen.
Also, nice that you have a 1 iii! I've been thinking of getting something like a 10 V or 5 IV but that's something for the future.
Increíble, pienso conseguirlo para tener un mp3 un alivio que dure algo la batería
Great mobile phone, but poor GPS sensor.
Try turning off Nearby sharing and Bluetooth scanning. On some phones, this was caused by Play Services update, which kinda broke it.
Turns out it was just a software fault. I flashed another ROM and bluetooth started working again.
@@ArnauDisrepairwhich rom you are using now?
how did you install android 13? could you explain it?
Yo man, i have this phone and its my main, i really love it, also does you know a good way to downgrade OS? From android 9 to 8, my xperia is from docomo
I don't recommend downgrading to official firnware, because unlocking the bootloader (which is unreversible) disables the camera in stock firmware. If you want to use Android 8, you'll want to use LineageOS
@@ArnauDisrepair I understand, thank you so much, what about i continue to android 9? Is there some problem of security or is OK?
@@draxlol Android 9 is still fine, and I don't think it has any security issues to worry about.
@@ArnauDisrepair thanks bro
i have the xz1
Are you sure is note the Custom rom?
Try going stock
A couple of months after I published this video I went back to stock but it disables the cameras if the bootloader is unlocked, which you can't re-lock. The bluetooth issue was resolved and I even installed LineageOS again, but now I don't use that phone anymore
nah a 5.2" 422ppi display is way better and yet still compact compared to 4.7" 312 ppi display which is why this wasn't that popular back then
5,2" at a 16:9 ratio ain't compact unless you have big hands
@@ArnauDisrepairso what made your Bluetooth broke, the custom rom?
Hey all Scott here
Sonic R
You can get a Samsung s10e
I have looked at it for a long time. At the time I was shopping for a phone, everyone started saying that older Samsungs have batteries that swell up, so I decided to leave it for another time. If there is a way to install LineageOS/Pixel Experience on it, I'll totally check it out in the future. I'm not a big fan of OneUI...
@@ArnauDisrepairthere's official los for the whole s10 lineup (exynos)
