The auto brightness on this phone works well, even too well. Sometimes in certain environment, a little tilt on the phone will cause the brightness to adjust immediately. I would say it is the most sensitive auto brightness in all phones I've used this far.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Davka:
Almost 3 days with 7+ hours of screen on time :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Vdust:
Guys this phone battery is amazing! I use my smartphone for public relations so i always use whatsapp, instagram etc... I wake up around 8-9 and don't have any problems the whole day.. gps on everywhere, google apps on, data on all time, use some spotify too and don't remember what else. I wouldn't change it for anything and would suggest you to buy it. Gj SONY.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] pijes:
The low screen resolution and the efficiency of the snapdragon 835 made the 2700mah battery feels like a 4000mah. After 9 hours from last full charge with 1 and 30 minutes of SOT, I still have 80% of battery life remaining and the phone is on 4G+ all the time. Yesterday I get 5 hours SOT with 50% remaining. Great phone but I wish the screen is just a tad bigger, probably 4.8 inch (since we lose a bit from the navigation bar)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] nospherato:
Not really much of screen on time, but still I am pretty impressed.

Usage:

- Deezer (1-1.5 hours a day)

- E-Mail sync (1x GMail)

- Whatsapp

- Adguard (pretty nice for battery)

- Wifi + BT always on

- Little browser usaged

...

(Yes it shows whatsapp etc. only using like 1-2%. That's normal when using adguard as android counts most usage to adguard.)

(Sorry had to upload the image to another source as the forum keeps on telling me there ist some kind of problem with it..)

Im thinking of buying this phone because of battery life.

Currently I own a 5.2" phone (Galaxy a5 2016), do you think Ill notice much difference in the screen size? Is 4.6 too little?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] pijes:
Yes, you will notice it. I'm coming from a 5.2 inch as well and I wish the xz1c had just a tad bigger screen.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] c_tho:
i have also recently come from a 5.2" device to a 4.6" device and i would say you'll definitely notice the difference. i bought the device specifically because 5.2" was too big for me and definitely notice the difference. i absolute love the smaller screen but if you're unsure i would definitely recommend having a play with it (or a similarly sized "small" device) before purchasing.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Bartekreaper:
SOT on this phone is Amazing, yesterday 4h SOT and still 50% battery left but some days ago even was even better
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Sizzlinvc:
Must be witchcraft

All on LTE streaming. Brightness was at 35% the whole time. I got 10 hours of SOT
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] SirRobin78:
Seems that your are using your phone in a same way like me but i´m impressed about the DOT...in my scenario i´ll get around 4 hours dot and i don´t know how to improve this.

Is there a battery monitoring tool (like accubattery) which gives more information about app usage or wakelocks?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Didgesteve:
There is a Better Battery Stats version that works with Oreo, but, you have to enrole in the beta testing, as well as be familiar with some ADB commands to get it working.

I've noticed battery use is higher on 8.49 firmware, I get two days between charges,instead of three, with phone idle eating most of the battery. But I'm regularly getting 3 hours of SOT and still being over 50% on the battery, so I don't know what there is to complain about really.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] SirRobin78:
Thank you! Ok, so i´ve not really a before and after feeling as i switched from my x compact to xz1 compact and installed all the firmwareupdates during first setup :p

The only thing i can say is that i´m using the same configurations and apps as before.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] yekollu:
Not as good as my previous phone (Moto Z Play) but still impressive. After a day of playing Ingress , these were my stats
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Dany XP:
Well, to be fair, moto z play's battery is the best of all...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] cqdiep:
Mine used 3% battery over 6 hours of overnight idling. I'd that normal?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] iwanova:
That's pretty impresive though.

On Redmi Note 3 it used 4% for idling on the same time.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] cirnocirno:
My previous phone, Axon 7 had horrible battery life, but my current phone, Xperia XZ1 Compact has an amazing battery life. I have been playing various games, webbrowsing and music while having constant mobile data on on spotify. So from yesterday, 98% to today right now 54%. Totally loving it.

You can't compare a phone with AMOLED screen, power efficient SoC and A MUCH LARGER battery to the Xperia XZ1 Compact.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] andryszz:
Hey I play need for speed no limits on it, Facebook and Web, email as well, a few calls and messages. I'm really amazed how long it lasts especially compared to my ex z5c. Here is a screenshot ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] BreadSense:
My daily driver right now is OnePlus 5 128GB with Oxygen and I'm not really happy with the battery life on it.

I really like the build, battery and performance, from the XZ1C. The camera wasn't that bad, but I would get over it.

Is it worth to change to the XZ1C over battery or should I keep the OP5?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] ortolan:
Very happy with the battery of this phone, way better than my old Axon 7. After 1 day 6 hours idle and nearly 7 hours SOT, it still has around 40% battery left. I play games sometimes, use only lite version of messenger and facebook, listen to music around 1 hour, web browsing/reddit alot, mobile network on full time, wifi off only when going out. Feels like it doesn't hold me back, I can do whatever as much as I want. On a heavy usage it can easily last to midnight (ofcource only if you don't play games all the time).
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] propov:
Hey man, are you serious? SoC on the Z Play is more power efficient than SD 835 in XZ1 ?!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] mrmcphisto77:
how can u get all this wonderful sot? Always under wifi maybe?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Nelson George:
Impressive

i have got lot more than expected from xz1 compact. my previous device is OG pixel & it gives 3.30 hours in oreo, 3.30 - 4hrs in nougat. i cant enjoy pure android experience, bcoz i need to keep eye on battery indicator all the time.

xz1 compact is refused to die. it gives me more than 7 hrs screen on time, mostly browsing, chatting etc
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Demian Maia:
I have an 1 hour screen that's 10% off the battery.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Tudor M:
Something is very strange with the SOT.

Having the latest firmware, with restricted background data I struggle to get 4.5 hours from 100% to 1%. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Matteo Mazzu:
A week of use, and even I'm having like 4-5h SOT like my 4 years old Z3C. Just Chrome, Telegram, WA and Spotify an hour a day. Must say I have the blootooth always in for my amazfit bip. Maybe it need more recharges cicles?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] mejgs:
I bought this phone primarily for battery life and small form factor, but I was left dissapointed.

Clearly some users have a problem with battery (wakelocks,bugs, bla bla....etc.), and I was one of them, with SOT of max 5hrs.

Coupled with unimpressive camera (even Gcam didn't make much of a difference) I decided to sell it, and it was a wise decision.

I got Pocophone f1 instead, and it's a better device in all aspects. I get 9-10hrs of SOT every time, performance is also a little bit better, camera is superior in any way (api2 is enabled by default and I get excellent results with Gcam). I guess I have to get used to a 6'' device, that's the only compromise i had to make....

im having 6% loss for 8hours of standby with wifi on. meanwhile, if i turn on the flight mode, the battery only reduced 1~2% for 8 hours of standby
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Dean F:
I am draining quite badly. I uninstalled almost all apps, and the drain went away. With the exact same apps on the z5c and the xz1c, only the xz1c drains badly (10-15% loss overnight). Looking at the battery stats, no app is listed as consuming battery, yes the battery drains badly. My apps are all very common ones which most people have, and dont drain other peoples phones.

This issue is totally confusing me.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] profyler:
same here...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] s0geking:
Just have the phone, a few days ago, same issue.

I stopped one day to use email's apk Sony and use gmail.

It seems better. Can somebody try this to confirm ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Dean F:
The fix for me was to run the following commands via ADB

pm disable --user 13 com.gsm.service.rcs

pm disable --user 13 com.google.ims

pm disable --user 13 com.android.service.ims.rcsservice

pm disable --user 13 com.android.ims.rscmanager

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uceShimService
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] redavenger:
i've found running swiss firmware (unbranded/customized CH) or even german one doesnt cause standby drain.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Dean F:
Earlier in the post I said I fixed my drain. I lied........ My phone drains 20-25% per night, will all above mentioned packages disabled. There is no fix for me.......... Last night I tried put the phone in stamina mode - it still drained just as bad in stamina mode!!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Davka:
Do you have a possibility to test the phone for a few days with another SIM from different mobile network? Or at least with flight mode enabled?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Dean F:
I have tried with mobile data switched off- and it still drained.

To any one still getting a battery drain, try installing firmware Customized GR 47.1.A.2.281. This is the phones original firmware, I think it predates the drain issue - which came early this year.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] 6gex:
same here , in 1 day my batterie is empty just in standby
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Elmcor:
I have the same issue :(

I already tried: factory reset and xperia companion repair and problem still there

Please notify if you find a fix
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Nelson George:
very good, compared to og pixel

restricted background data to many apps

restricted app background activity to many apps

wifi & data scanning off

always active mobile data off

play store app scanning off

disabled some apps - avg, drive, duo, facebook, google, movie creator, spotify, video and weather

weather service is off

smart lock off

some permissions restricted to apps

standby drain is less than 1% per hour, which is good enough for me.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Tudor M:
On one side it is weird that the phone idle uses more power than the screen.

On the other side, am I seeing right?

Do you have 5h of SOT with 50% battery? :o With a single charge?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Nelson George:
Yes, battery life is crazy

yes, but as i told above... i have restricted many background activities from "app info" for apps like chrome, amazon, whatsapp, shareit, instagram, . . . and limited background data usage per app basis.

Limited some play services permissions like usage access, body sensors and unrestricted data access and unchecked usage reports from all app's and turn off all google web/search activities.

mobile/wifi network is enabled only when using.

i am using wakeup app, which is running in background always, that's why idle drain seems high. but last night it was only 3% for 6 hrs.

here's another attachment charged 100% yesterday night. after 2.30 hrs usage, its still 75%.

light usage only, i dont know about heavy/gaming usage
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Tudor M:
Nice!

I don't play games either, but I use Whatsapp, Facebook(a little), Messenger(more), Slack, Outlook, Yahoo Mail....

Still, the phone idle consumption is crazy high.

From 100% to 21%, I have 19% Phone Idle and 3h 35 Screen. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Nelson George:
give it a try. . .

all those apps consumes background data too much, i think.

did you disabled background data, background activity and location access for those apps ??

turn off auto update from developer settings.

unchecked "mobile data always active" from developer settings.

turn off gps and mobile data of when unused
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] moreinfo:
I tried accubattery, so I charged from 0% to 100% and I got 6h of screen on, and 5h 21' of hibernation screen off, it's ok for me, I have disabled wifi and 4g, so just 3g and data on ( inthe screenshot it's 4g I activated in the last minutes) The next day I used wifi on and 3g and I got 4h 30' of screen on and 2h 17' of hibernation with screen off. Well is it wifi the culprit? Today I'm trying wifi off and 3g on, but no hibernation...why? So the draining is caused by the lack of hibernation when the screen is off. Which app is the culprit?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Dean F:
For anyone who this helps. I fixed my drain by removing my simcard. Before people had suggested testing the sim by changing 3g / 4g, disable mobile data etc. That had no effect. But when I actually physically removed the sim card, or replaced it with a different sim - the drain was gone. Poor contact on the sim card surface maybe? Finding the solution took my months, and also buying a second phone - as i thought my original unit was faulty! Please consider trying this method if your phone drains, but there is no app listed as the cause of the drain in BBS, Gsam, or other advanced battery diagnostic app.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Kofoedsan:
Out of curiosity, what is a "normal" battery drain overnight? Mine loses about 5-6%, but I got a few apps such as messenger and email client in the background.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] profyler:
5-6% is ok/good..... 2-3% is very good.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Tudor M:
I remember seeing this solution for Z3 Compact a long time ago.

Not sure if it worked back then and not sure if it will work now.

I have used the phone with a SIM, I removed the SIM and used the phone anyways and still got a very bad battery drain because of the "Phone Idle" and "Mobile network standby" and stuff like that. SOT represents a small amount of the overall battery drain.

I am still waiting for a solution, or, maybe a software update that can solve this...:(
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] stevenngu92:
I had the same problem. I also tried safe mode and had battery drain as well. Disabled pretty much every app's background data and background usage and was still having issues with idle. I initially was doing factory reset or re-flashing (august update) every time the battery drain started, but gave up this time. Finally turned off location and that seems to have fixed the issue for me. Either that or the OS needs time to adjust or something and me doing a factory reset/re-flashing every time the battery drain started didn't help with that process (I really don't know).
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] CosViper:
external storage was my battery drainer

Hi Guys,

I had recently an issue regarding battery drains.

My internal storage was nearly 90% and xperia recommended to transfer data into my external drive (mSD-Card) after I freed 20gb of pictures videos music the recommendation notification left. At the next day I "used" 60% of battery in 10h while I was working 8h. Having the availability to access all those transfered data will cause enormous battery drops. I eject the Card and injected a "fresh" one, rebooted and after that no more drops, drainage for me. I am not sure if SD Card encryption was on, however, the new Card has helped me
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Matteo Mazzu:
Once uninstalled there's a way to reinstall them? Like by updating with the xperia rom from pc software. And do you know which code its the Whats New app please? Thanks :good: (it seems I have uninstalled something email related. All email apps keeps crashing...)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Dean F:
Whats New app is: com.sonymobile.entrance

And its totally safe to remove, it doesn't effect the email app. Removing something related to exchange could affect the email app, amoung other possibilities. but its not "What's New", I guarantee it.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] armchairbear:
I play two games that seem to be CPU/GPU or battery intensive games. Marvel Puzzle Quest and Animation Throwdown. I play both daily, and the phone can still last from when I wake up until when I go to sleep. Very impressed. I tend to get about 4 to 5 hours of screen on time.

Compared to my previous phone, the GS7, it is much better. The GS7 would not be able to last through half the day with that type of usage. I would need to charge it through out the day.

I'm not sure if that's a credit to the Snapdragon 835 being more efficient or that SONY phones have less stuff running in the background. Could be both I suppose. I remember my old Z3c having better battery life than my GS7 running on the old Snapdragon 801.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] android_fury:
Yesterday I had close to 9 hours SOT and about 10% left. I was on Wi-Fi all day and at about 50% brightness. I used Newpipe, WhatsApp, reddit is fun, and MX Player all day long, often in multiwindow mode. I never bother to use Stamina mode. The battery life on this thing is spectacular.

Feels and looks great, just not as good as the bezel-less competitors.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] baldursgate:
Has anyone compared the silver model to the black? Given that the phone isn't all metal, I'm wondering if silver would look more "cheap" than the black one.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] ziliteo:
I own a black one and it looks so great and professional. Saw couples of silver unit in Youtube and I think it looks cheap. Another thing is the big black navigation button bar on the bottom blends well on black unit, whereas other colors tend to reduce the overall aesthetic of the UI in my opinion.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] andacro:
Still got my Xperia Acro S, and with the Anysoftkeyboard with the ICS addon, it looks like my Acro S, but a bit faster. ;) XZ1 Compact is more slippery than the Acro S, but I love my new Xperia! :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Dany XP:
This. I totally agree. I got mine for a couple of days now. Guys trust us, you MUST get the black one. It looks more "professional", more "blackberry" let's say and even more compact.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] miker71:
i got the silver/white xz1c and it doesn't look cheap to my eye. it doesn't look quite as classy as the silver xz though.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] baldursgate:
I ended up getting the black one. It arrived today. I love the look and feel! The back doesn't look cheap to me at all. Very happy with the purchase so far.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] andacro:
I agree! Used mine for ~ a week now, and I love it. My Samsung S5 looks so Samsung, and the XZ1C looks so much better! Got the black.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] armchairbear:
I got the silver one, and yeah, I wish the paint looked better, but I still like it. The "silver" gives the phone an industrial look to it, which I like.

I wish they used a silver that was like the paint on the Galaxy S7.

The big front camera circle bothered me initially, but after a while I started liking it. Gives the phone some personality. Makes it more unique.

I was considering getting it in black to "hide" the front camera, but now I like seeing it.

I think people are being sheep when they complain about bezels. If the phone looks good, it looks good, bezels or no.

The bezels look good in this case because they are the same size top and bottom (omni-balance), and they appear to have a purpose, house the speakers and camera and sensors. Comparatively, the first pixel phone looked awkward with its bezels.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] Bartekreaper:
I got black one. Looks amazing, First look is better than when i got black Z3C. Love the phone design, slightly changed from other Xperias <3
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] id3alistic:
My only issue is that the top and bottom of the phone are not symmetrical. That kind of annoys my OCDness.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] ungraphic:
Love the design, but personally I like the Xperia X Compact in the Mist Blue and White colours a lot more. Also, the Z5 Compact in yellow was pretty awesome where the front of the phone was all black making the yellow less distracting when looking at it but still overall a stand out colour.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Real Life Review] ArdW:
I have black version and it LOOKS superb. Really beautiful and "professional". What i don't like however is the metal top and bottom. It is not symetrical, and the plaquetes are more into the display side. I am supposing that they should prevent display, when you put the phone display down (why would you do that tho). I am also not fan of the sharp edges. Really the corners should be at least a bit rounded, I am afraid the phone will damage my jeans lol
