Anyone have any feedback? How does it compare to the s7 and s8? The original x?

I just want a small phone with good battery life as my s8 is too big.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] 9h0s7:
I usually get about 7 or 8 hours
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] reikar:
Really depends how you use. Example, if I have Bluetooth on always for Mi Band 2 connection, then it's about 3-5 hours. When it's off, it's 5-6 or even more hours. Coming from Samsung s6 it's real improvement.

I am thinking about getting a XC as backup phone but wondering how long is SOT while playing games and if it gets hot.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] kwstas 13:
Are you going to buy a backup phone for playing games...? It will definately be fine though. It does not get hot and it's faster than you think.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] cirnocirno:
Well the games I am looking at is mainly puzzle games, just worried mainly about performance since previous main phone was a xperia m4 aqua that couldn't do plain games and overheated. So I got myself a new main phone, axon7 and handles everything I toss at it but I still want a small and comfy phone for easy use on the go.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] kwstas 13:
Go for the X Compact without a second thought. It has nothing to do with the M series by Sony, and handles everything in a surprisingly stable way.

Usually 2:30/3 hours of SoT.

Sadly Phone Idle process is a monster in battery draining. Never had more than 3 hours and half, even without playing games or watching videos.

Using X Compact with stock Oreo 34.4.A.2.118 firmware does not give great standby drain. Had to disable a lot of apps and use Doze Aggresively to manage somewhere of 0.3% / hour drainage. I think battery life is very good once you tune and manage the wakelocks
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] TL86:
Could you elaborate on that? 0,3% sounds great. So what did you disable and do you have to do so every time you go to standby?

I got the black one thinking it would be black, its not. It has a blue tint to it so cases look very awkward on it and the metal on the top looks like it was colored with a sharpie and has the purple sheen to it. I would definitely go for the blue one if I had a second chance.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] pauliusval99:
I don't know how to rate a post in the Android app, but I'd give it 11 out of 10. The best phone to buy right now if you care about ergonomics. Some people might say you can get a larger screen in similar size, but trust me, those crazy thin bezels just make it harder to hold without pressing anything. X Compact is just perfect. In fact, I'd prefer it to be even smaller with a 4.3" screen, but it's literally the very best option we have right now, without any competition.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] Kianush:
I agree with you

if you go to the the site via chrome browser rating is under topic name(when you open the topic)

I gave 5 stars
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] crazy-gump:
From my experience with the moto X 1st gen, it's worse in the hand but it has some points elsewhere.

The shape + thickness (the brick) makes it uncomfortable for me as I feel like I need to put strength in my fingers as a claw when walking. My moto X was just resting in the palm of my hand.

But the fingerprint just hits home as it comes under the thumb or my left hand's midlle finger. Same for the camera button which I always used for portrait pics.

Excuse this froggy for his english.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] Hasuris:
I think it's quite the opposite. The Moto X 2013 was heavier in the top and the super thin rim at the bottom meant I had to hold the phone quite high to use the keyboard. The phone threatened to fall out of my hand during swiping. Only a case with a cutout for the dimple fixed this for me. I could rest a finger in the cutout and secure the phone.

The XC is a joy to hold and just that tad smaller than the Moto X to be perfect for my small hands. Especially that bigger rim at the bottom makes it so much easier to hold and use with one hand!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] kekistaneerefugee:
A huge step down from the Z5c and Z3c. these sharp corners make one hand use pretty much impossible. Tearing open the phone proves there is nothing but air in the corners so Sony is making this design choice on purpose, WHY?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] paulmt123:
Slightly too large bezel for size. Not quite as comfy as Z3 compact or z5 compact but better than larger phones netherless.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] MichaelSD:
I really like the X Compact's feel. I have large hands, so all small phones are a touch "cramped". XC's rounded edges and material is really comfortable in my hands. I even like the bezel size.

I just ordered the official flip case, no idea how it will change the ergonomics.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] kekistaneerefugee:
Still the typical Sony skin with lots and lots and lots of UI bugs. The lockscreen is the absolute worst when it comes to the X series, whoever came up with the idea of having the fingerprint sensor being able to unlock the phone without a registered fingerprint should be fired.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] paulmt123:
It's clear and looks nice. Performs well. I've tried 6.0.1 and 7.1 and 7.1 is more fluent. But I can't use that as Bluetooth on 7.1 won't work with car.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] xtc14:
Not a huge fan of the curved or 2.5D curvature on the side edges on the screen since it doesn't allow for a proper fitting tempered glass, Z3C aesthetics was my favorite since phone tallness was smaller

[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] dog77k:
The default minimum brightness seems quite bright, but the screen lcd hardware on this phone is capable of going extremely dim without any lcd flickering (much dimmer than where my Z3c would start to flicker).

I haven't figured out how to change the autobrightness levels to be darker on my stock MM ROM, but I can overwrite the screen brightness by changing the value in "/sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness". The default minimum is "34", but "4" seems to be a good value for a pitch black room. Attached is a simple script that will change it. (You'll need root for this.)

#!/system/bin/sh

echo 4 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness

Excellent. No complaints. O2 UK. Very rare to find myself with no signal. Much better than galaxy s7 in this respect.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] new2smart:
I get static noises and bad line on calls where the other parties can't hear me properly.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] locofocos:
I use the X Compact on T-Mobile. Unfortunately it doesn't support VoLTE or wifi calling, so it has to use the older GSM networks for phone calls. I have fairly regular problems hearing the other party because of this, unfortunately. Of course this depends on the signal in the area, but other phones that support VoLTE handle calls much better in my area.

Calls over 4G (like Hangouts) are crisp as clear as anything else.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] neopbm:
Same for me in France, X Compact does not work with VoLTE but it's not Sony's fault. Device is compatible. Blame the operator...

Quality call is very good for me even in 3G and with poor reception so it's still OK.

Got EU model and I'm very disapointed by the antenna. My career's network is good but just a thick wall will greatly reduce the signal. My former Moto X was better. (Regulation's fault ?)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] MajinJoko:
My experience is the opposite: I am very satisfied with the antenna, the signal quality is improved with respect to what I got with the Sony Z1 Compact: the Xc stay connected to the 4G (still usable, even if with 1 bar) in the same place where the Z1c switched to Edge network.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] DZH1:
Xperia is a Japanese phone made for the Japan market. Speakers on Xperia are softer because they aren't typically used. In Japan, people don't use their phone speakers. No speaker phone in public ever.. and on the trains, always headphones.

So, sales of Sony's good headphones are more important than phone speakers.

Xperia Compact is marketed directly to young professional women and busy moms in Japan,

and available as a carrier exclusive through DoCoMo.

This dictates everything from design and form to color etc.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] kekistaneerefugee:
Even with sound mods the speakers are sub par.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] paulmt123:
I've used much worse. Better than the likes of the galaxy s7. Far better than LG G3. Nowhere near as good as HTC or newer iPhones
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] pseudonym58:
For a bit of increased speaker volume on the Xperia X Compact, do the following: Settings app/Sound/Audio settings/Sound effects(make sure certain other options are disabled in order to access Sound effects)/Equalizer/

Set all 5 equalizer band controls to maximum. Back out of Settings app. This setting provides a noticeable increase in overall sound volume.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Real Life Review] pseudonym58:
Other options for louder volume with certain types of media: A number of apps have a built-in pre-gain control, such as Music Folder Player and Podcast Addict. These provide a significant volume boost without a high risk of damaging speakers (as long as you're careful).
