The speed of this compact XZ2 is pretty amazing. Apps launch is very fast, multitask goes well, interface is very smooth ... I don't play a lot heavy 3D games, I have only tried 10mn PUBG and last Asphalt, and it worked pretty good, I didn't notice anything disturbing.

Hey. Does anyone else have this problem? See attached files. That green streak at the bottom of the screen.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] FcukBloat:
nope!

picture quality is great, daylight pictures are wonderful, low light pictures are good with a lot of details if the subject is not moving.. if moving they kinda sucks but because acquisition time is long so it is difficult to catch a steady image... :( but in general in very happy and much better of previous Sony phones i had! ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] robmb:
Pics are great

At least the daylight pics are great. I don't know about night pics yet, but seem great too.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] zynexiz:
It looks like the effects from the sunlight? But i guess you also tried it when there's no sun shining? If so, it might be a defect camera. Mine takes excellent pictures.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] PYellow:
Hi, anyone having trouble with macro shots on this phone or is it just me? It seems like the minimum distance between the camera and the object I want to focus on has to be roughly 60-70mm if not more, which is very very far. My friend's s8 can do up less than 30mm without having focusing issues. Is there a setting I don't know about or is it just an inherent flaw of the phone?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] bill3508:
Didn't mean to quote. Thought I'd post a few since no one is. I think the camera can be improved. To me it over sharpens in many cases and in low light the mode is too aggressive.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] faroit:
Hi! I just got my xz2 compact and I noticed that parts on the left side of the images are a bit softer than the right side. Maybe its because the protector glass in the case is not flat compared to the lens? Or maybe because my camera is not calibrated well?

I compared some pictures by making a photo landscape and turn the camera 180 degrees and repeat the photo. See my comparison here: photos.app.goo.gl/bKzgtzV4TZTt2oncA

Would this annoy you? Can anyone try to reproduce this?

Xz2 compact vs Sirocco

Here with new Nokia camera update.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] faroit:
okay, now I as able to detect the kind of problem. Its actually has something to do with the focus capabilities. If you switch to manual mode and use manual focus, I found that the highest value (the mountain) is not infinity in my phone but quite a bit beyond. That way its already blurry. Is this the same on your phones? Is the infinity focus setting really infinity?

Photo quality in other camera apps

Hey,

I just bought myself a xz2c - coming from a z3c. I used to take pics with camera Apps like "a better camera" or "open camera" because the shots were superior to These from the Stock app.

So i tried the same on my xz2c but the quality is worse than the Stock app - it's more visible on the selfie cam. Why does this happen?

Even the shots through WhatsApp and instagram are strangely Bad. (Yeah i know that these Apps shoot lower res pics but the difference is huge now. Deffo not how it should be)

Clan somebody reproduce this with the front cam on other camera apps aswell?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] Pokemetti2:
I think it is generally a hit or miss if a third party app does well with the sensor on the phone, I don't own this phone but have experienced bad quality (not just res) pictures with these apps on other phones. Why not just stick with the stock cam if it's good?

I was searching around over in sprintmogul.net and i came to this forum that had a link to this home plugin it looks really cool but costs money i was wondering if anyone could rip it? or something?. here is the forum link http://www.sprintmogul.net/Default.aspx?tabid=54&ptid=370&threadid=3241&forumtype=posts

and here is the link directly to the plugin http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/?en

thats mobile shell. its not a today plug in but a whole new interface. i didnt like it b/c it screwed up something with my ability to tap the screen. was all messed up. it was a cool setup, but didnt DO anything i didnt already have
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ilogik:
Its a great program, the strange thing is my battery lasts about 60% longer.. yes 60%. I guess HTC home was a real battery hog.

spb home 2.0 - blah blah blah

I have given the new spb home 2.0 plugin a shot. It is very nice. But, because it is not editable (yet) it should take a seat in the back. My two cents.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] marriotheblackguy:
Nice but expensive

I really like the spbmobile but the cost is prohibitive.:( {the online discount is $40 and it's still 50 bucks!):eek:

I will continue to use the freeware available here and other places until the cost comes down more.

I love MS2. I've gotten rid of a bunch of other plugins since installing this. The only problem I have with it is the no voicemail icon kills me.

I tried Mobile shell 2.0 and liked many of its features but just the opposite on the battery life

It sucked mine down twice as fast
[Mogul, XV6800 General] nickles96:
I am using Mobile Shell 2. 0 and i absolutley love it.. I can make it through the entire day on one battery charge, with active sync directly to my exchange server about 5 times per day.. the interface is extremely customizable and you can create your own menus, display, etc... it has a terrific sliding cube interface, which reacts just like an iPhone.. everyone i show mine to instantly starts to drool..

i'd recommend you pick this up. it's well worth the money.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] 1999TL:
How did you get the cube interface? Are you using the Beta still?

Something is draining my battery, I can't put my hands on it. At first, I thought it was SPB mobile shell, but others are reporting that they are having battery issues without MS2

The program is great. It does not mess up your screen tapping abilities. The finger gestures are very quick and easy to do.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] StickyGreen:
I liked Mobile Shell 2.0, had it on my device a couple of days. It looked sleek but my device is sluggish. Not sure if Mobile Shell was the cause but I didn't like it at all.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] nickles96:
I am not using the Beta.. full blown version 2.. you can download it here. http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/download.html?en

The cube interface isn't actualy part of the Today screen, rather, you have a separate menu called 'SPB Menu', which i made as my right selectable hot key. this takes you to the screen where your SPB 'Home', Programs', 'Internet', and other layouts are.. and it's within these menus, is the cube layout.

you can assign as many things as you'd like, for example, in the 'Programs' menu.. then when you open it, you simply swipe the screen to the left, to scroll through the pages.. you can have the programs listed on a grid view, or a list view.. as well as you can assign the motion of how the cubes slide (transition effects -- folding, sweeping, etc.. )

you can then make the 'Mobile Shell' part of your Today page, and it will then display just those icons, which when clicked, will take to those menus..

check out the web link for them. view the screenshots.. it's awesome..

When i started using this and saw how vastly customizable it is, i uninstalled HTC Home right away..

I can't speak to the battery drain. I am on 80% life right now. and it's 5:02 pm.. turned my phone on this morning at 7:30am..

some light internet browing while in the john, and periodic email checks with exchange, and some texting with the wife.. still going strong..

using EVDO network, and WiFi and Bluetooth turned OFF.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] topdawgn8:
After looking at it on spb's website this shell looked like a good deal, but it's not what it seems to be as displayed on the site. As stated above, to have the "now" screen up, you have to map it to a button (or make it so it comes up everytime the phone wakes up. Personally, I don't like this. I'd rather have the "now" screen as the base screen and get to other places on my ppc from there. Is this possible?

I've only been playing with it for twenty minutes or so and I've had no luck finding anything yet. Probably doesn't help I've been writing papers for finals all night and my contacts are friggin dry. Meh, it's a livin.

**Edit**

Yeah, I'm an r-tard. I got version 1.6 something...guess I'll have to go back and find 2.0...................

*Found it, and it ROCKS.

As far as looks go, it's not very customizable; but I love how it functions. There's no real way to set it to the today screen, but like was stated above, you can set it to a soft button and it will stay up as long as you don't close it out. I'm pretty happy with it over all. It's pretty sweet.

very good even from the very first cycles.. I have gone through a whole day and a half now (35 hours from power disconnection), with average use, and still I have 41% battery juice left with already 5 hours sot.

sync on, BT off, gps off (just enabled it for about 1 hour) / most of the day on wifi (office and home) then 3G maximum when outside / no power saving modes enabled

....loving it!

bye bye ****ty s7, R.I.P., I don't miss you at all! :cool::laugh:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] faelnor:
I have no idea how you are reaching those times...

I got just slightly more than a day with what most would consider light usage. That is to say a couple of youtube vids in the morning, 15 minutes of music on the way to work, then a couple of web searches and emails during the day and that's it, screen brightness almost to the minimum, BT off, high precision GPS off. Overall, android shows that the screen was on for about 3 hours total during the whole period.

With this kind of usage I would get more than 2 days and a half with the Z3c when it was brand new. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Real Life Review] FcukBloat:
something is surely wrong there. I charged last night, after two whole days and more than 6 hours sot. with the same usage and apps, in my old s7 I used to do one day only and 3-4 hours sot maximum.

I didn't take any screens, but at the end of this cycle I will make screenshots (hopefully with same results! :p:fingers-crossed:)

Here is my battery snapshots from yesterday:

The little XZ2 Compact blows away my Unlocked Galaxy S9+ in terms of both standby and in-use battery performance.

Both phones have the same number of apps installed.

Both have display brightness manually set to 100% brightness first then Auto-Brightness turned On.

Both phones have these toggles turned on: Wifi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth, and NFC.

The XZ2C has Location set to Device Only and the GS9+ has Location to Off.

The GS9+ is always connected via Bluetooth to my Gear S3 Classic watch.

The GS9+ has AOD turned on 24/7.

anyone here that noticed any weird behaviour after the software update? mine always suddenly get warm and uses a lot of battery for no reason. it doesn't lock up or anything, but it get around 40 degrees celsius. the last time this happened to me it did this in the middle of the night when i was asleep. it went from 65% to 2% when i woke up. according to the battery stats of the phone it drained the phone in about 2 hours. Normally when this happens i usually restart the phone and it is stops for a while.

the strange thing is after it happened in the night, the usage is normal again with 37% battery now and 6 hours and 33m sot. device has been running for 1d 8h 53m now. location, wifi and bt are all on and about 99% of the time i am on wifi and 4g is active in the background for fast switching. i have mostly been reading some novels online with firefox and ad blockers (the website has a very battery consuming video ads that can't be clicked away and ads that stay on the bottom of the screen without any way to click it away.
