Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact deals and reviews

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

90	AndroidPit | Eric Ferrari-Herrmann With no other manufacturer currently offering a top compact smartphone, the Xperia XZ2 Compact is the best smartphone in the compact class. Read full review
90	Gizmodo UK | Sam Rutherford It all makes this phone not only a great pick for people seeking out a smaller a device, but also a damn good value in its own right. For all the small phone fans out there, Sony's XZ2 Compact is as good as it gets. Read full review
90	Android Central | Daniel Bader This is Sony's best small phone ever, and one of its best releases to date. It's not necessarily a better phone than, say, the Pixel 2, since the camera doesn't quite match up and it won't be updated as quickly, but it stands up quite well. Read full review
90	Engadget | Jamie Rigg Anyone generally in the market for a new flagship should put it on their short list, and lovers of small but high-performance machines should think about taking the plunge. It's the Compact you've been wanting. Read full review
89	NotebookCheck | Florian Wimmer Sonys Xperia XZ2 Compact polarizes with a corpulent side view and lack of a 3.5mm jack. Those who can live with that receive a very fast phone for a reasonable price that is suitable for small hands as well. Read full review
88	Android Authority | Lanh Nguyen The Xperia XZ2 Compact is expensive and unless you highly value its compact nature, it isn't worth the purchase. Read full review
80	V3 | Graeme Burton Sure, there's a number of solid improvements over the XZ1 Compact - a faster CPU/GPU, higher resolution screen, twice the storage - but most of these don't feel like they make much of a difference in everyday usage, while its overall design feels like a small step back, not forward. Read full review
80	The Inquirer | Graeme Burton The Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact is a lot of smartphone for the money, with a powerful CPU/GPU, sharp and bright screen, and long battery life. Read full review
80	Digital Trends | Julian Chokkattu The perfectly sized Xperia XZ2 Compact will fit in any pocket, and it comes with excellent performance, a good camera, and day-long battery life. Read full review
80	Tom's Guide | Caitlin McGarry Sony's pint-size Xperia XZ2 Compact is the iPhone SE of Android phones - a beautiful, nostalgic phone that can easily compete when it comes to performance and battery life. Read full review
80	Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman With a top-tier processor, capable camera, and features to spare, the Xperia XZ2 Compact is the one-handed phone you might not be able to say no to. Read full review
80	T3 | Robert Jones Sony has crammed a dump truck-load of hot tech into the Xperia XZ2 Compact. An on-trend 18:9 aspect ratio screen (5-inches), new curved design, and rapid all-round user experience, though, generates a pleasingly positive overall experience. Read full review
80	Alphr | Alan Martin Yes, the screen isn't quite as good, and the camera is a way behind, but if speed is your main priority, then the XZ2 Compact is definitely worth considering as a more diminutive alternative. Sony's pint-sized powerhouse may take up a bit more pocket space than previous Xperias, but it's still a quality phone. Read full review
80	Mobile Syrup | Sameer Chhabra A capable, modern smartphone with a surprisingly affordable price. Sony's latest compact flagship device is powerful and pretty, but not that different from last year's XZ1. Read full review
80	TechRadar | Andrew Williams 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. Read full review
80	Stuff | Andrew Williams Sony has packed top specs into a tiny body, if one that doesn't seem fancy enough to match the price. Read full review
80	Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow This well-equipped little phone is one of the best small form-factor handsets we've seen. The XZ2 certainly has its strengths, but if you're not in a rush, it could be worth holding fire to see what Sony does next. Read full review
75	phoneArena | Victor Hristov The XZ2 Compact, however, has its peculiar charm: it has a clean and likable Android interface and a chubby body that is different. But it just seems to be little more than a tiny Android phone that just works and has decent battery life. It does not have a particularly great camera or any captivating new features. Read full review
70	Trusted Reviews | Max Parker The Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact only makes sense for big spenders who are after a small phone. Read full review
