Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact review: Compact, but with plenty of punch.
Small and curvy ; Good camera ; Power-packed
Not the best for gaming ; Polycarbonate body doesn't ooze luxury ; Lacks some camera features
Expert review by : Robert Jones (t3.com)
The XZ2 Compact is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Just a fat sheep, one with a big booty.
So. Much. Power! ; Sharp 18:9 screen ; Good camera system ; Smooth, curved design ; Easy one-hand usage ; Fast fingerprint reader
It's thick and chunky ; No headphone jack ; Plastic backed

Small and powerful, but not very stylish
Solid camera ; Great performance ; Sharp screen
Feels cheaper than it is ; No headphone jack ; Selfie camera isn’t great
The Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact is small and powerful. It's also chunky and partially plastic, so not the best choice if you want a phone that looks as good as it runs.

The Xperia XZ2 Compact is Sony's new mini flagship with a 5in screen, available to pre-order now. With a new design, an 18:9 display, and the ability to record 4K HDR video, this packs an awful lot into a pretty small phone at a decent price.

Excellent performance ; Impressive battery life ; Beautiful HDR display ; Fantastic camera
Chunky design
For those who’ve ever wanted an Xperia Compact but thought they compromised too heavily over their standard siblings, this generation might be the one to jump for..

A small but mighty phone to match the flagship contenders?
High-end insides ; Rich screen ; Decent camera
A bit fat ; No headphone jack ; Mostly-plastic back
Sony has packed top specs into a tiny body, if one that doesn’t seem fancy enough to match the price

We review the Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact, a compact smartphone with 19mp camera, 5mp selfie camera, 4K video, and high-speed video recording.
The Sony Experia XZ2 Compact is capable of producing images with excellent colour reproduction, although noise can be an issue when shooting at full resolution, and when you view images at full size. The camera app is intuitive and hasn't changed much...

We've got the Xperia XZ2 & XZ2 compact in for review - here are our first impressions.
Expert review by : Rob Leane (alphr.com)
Sony is still flying the flag for small(ish) phones, and Amazon Prime Day deals have offered big discounts
Despite the slight video concerns, to me, the Sony Xperia XZ2 remains a smartphone that warrants some serious consideration. For a RRP of £529, you’re looking at a handset with performance to match the most powerful phone out there – the £739 Samsung...
