Read the full post http://andauth.co/xperiaxz2 | The Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact takes everything that’s great from the standard Xperia XZ2 and puts it in a small form factor. But it also suffers from a very familiar Sony flaw that could be make or break for you. Find out what we think of it in our full review!

Sony's Compact recipe is what a lot of people (in theory) want: flagship specs in a smaller form factor. Are you one of them? Or is Sony trying to charge too much of a premium to ever make the Compact series truly popular?
Business Opportunity in Ruvol
I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”
It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”
The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.
HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?
I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0
BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!
It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

Thanks and God bless!

I want one I hate big phones
They keep on falling and cracking
the build quality is pretty good…… honestly ive dropped mine from waist hight 100s of times, on any kind of surface. Any other phone would have had a wrecked screen or other faults after it. so id give my phone a 10/10 regarding build. Biggest downdraw regarding the phone is only the charging cable gets a worse connection over time. so a smarter charge connector would make this phone 10/10.
Best phone ive ever had. i came from the z2 but the build on that one was weak, screen said goodnight after its 5th fall or something.
Whats the next generation of this phone, any news on that ? ive had mine for 2 years ish and would like to know when the next gen comes around.
Its not at all a small phone.
Has this been Discontinued already ?? any one -it on sony website -but everywhere it says discontinued ?
I legit bought this phone for 360 euro's, coming from an iPhone SE. I dont want a tablet in my pocket, nor does it fit. This phone is basically a desktop, outshining the iphone 11 on a lot on fronts. Even in 2020. For like 55% of the price. That's free real estate.
Anyone used it on Verizon? Any Good?
What a piece of junk this so called "smartphone" is… after 1 year of countless updates the touch screen is still problematic(production fail). The battery doesn't last 1day of normal use… It is overheating while playing games, filming in 4k, using skype etc. The glass gets scratched really really easy. Can't use the headphones anymore because the usb port is defective(usb auto-detection failed errors)I've had only issues with it. And i thought the z5 compact was a bad phone, no more Sony for me ever again!
If you want a compact phone the sonys are awesome but i would skip this for the lack of headphone jack alone.
I recently had the xz1 compact for a week and the screen is stunning the colours pop. The negative was the USB C and the fingerprint sensor. Even the thinnest cases made using the sensor a issue and many times you will black the screen while trying to use finger print. I think i would stick to pin code on the xz1. Also i have micro usb cables everywhere including 10ft anker powerline it is really annoying they added a USB-C . The xz1 battery was great. The only thing that would make it really awesome would be make it removable. Some genius figured if the battery wont come out you will buy more phones. Stick to the xz1 with pin code.
Its not waterproof at all. Rain will kill it
My phone died after beeing in my pocket during rain. Yes I was soaked there was a water in my pocket but it should be waterproof up to 1m under water (IP68). Warranty service said its not repariable under warranty conditions. Well I lost loads of money dont waste yours and DO NOT BUY A SONY MOBILE PHONE!!!
Compact phones need to come back. So annoying having a massive phone
i want to buy it because it looks like nokia lumia 930*my favorite phone)
the blackversion it s killing 🙂
I am spending hours and hours finding a decent onehand phone that ius durable and has HEADPHONE JACK
Any word on the number of years software would be supported by Sony for the device? Thanks
does anybody else have issues with green circles left on the photos made with this phone in bright sunlight ? any idea how to fix this ? https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/General-Discussion/Xperia-XZ2-Compact-Camera-Issues/m-p/1380345#M1708
I just bought this phone for 249€, brand new, at discount price, because "its outdated" he said. lol. (July 2019). Great phone, great deal.
I want to buy this phone and I have a question: do you have (black or grey) side bars when watching youtube or when playing games?
Do we have Answering Machine like Xperia Z3 compact
It's not cheap, but what other phone currently has the function of being compact?
great phone but its TOO damn thick. Jeez man. 12mm?!?
I bought the new XZ2 Compact today, took one look at the design, turned it off, repackaged it and requested a refund. Bottom line: phone is ugly. XZ1 compact had much more going for it, the fingerprint sensor they fucked up, (XZ1 was better), the screen was better, when you put it on a flat surface you can tap the phone without it feeling clumsy and awkward. Not with the XZ2 compact, no, with this phone they decided to make it as ugly as possible, its just a piece of junk.
This phone looks like it's about 8 years old – make an effort Sony!
The price tag is what it is because they are the ones doing such a well performing small Android phone
Why is there bloat on phones this costly?
