Not everyone wants a full-size phone with a great big display and cinematic screen. Some of us want something more compact and easier to hold, so the proposed Sony Xperia XZ4 Compact is music to our ears...or hands! The Xperia XZ4 Compact, rumoured to be released at around the same time as the full-size version, is said to have a 5-inch display. This will make it considerably easier to hold onto, and that is one of the biggest selling points in this compact phone. Overall dimensions will come in at 139.9 x 66.5 x 9.3mm in size, if early rumours are to be believed, while the display will be a standard 16:9 aspect ratio based on the first images.
Mark 1 and Mark 2 of Sony’s compact Xperias didn't have all of the features of the standard models, but were good performers none the less. The XZ4 compact should be no exception. While we can expect only one rear camera, it should contain some of Sony's top-end photographic technology while it is hoped that the processor power in the full size XZ4 will also be found in the compact version.
Other early reports about the Xperia XZ4 Compact suggest the retention of the 3.5mm headphone jack, with USB Type-C for charging purposes, and house dual front speakers in the bezels delivering the same sort of high-quality audio Sony is renowned for. In summary, the compact XZ4 will give us a more-than-comfortable user experience, with great hand feel and portability, and plenty of Sony's technological know-how thrown in for good measure.

I haven't had the phone long enough to go into any detail, but I'm enjoying trying to find out how to get the best out of it, hence the "ease of use rating", but I would definitely say that the Xperia 1 is a quality mobile phone.
The phone is a real alternative for the ones who still doesn′t like the Samsung Galaxy S line. I really don′t like Samsung UI, i even think they still have the worst Android skin out there. So why did i choose the Xperia 1 instead of the other ones
Amazing 4k screen with high PPI and HDR BT2020, 6.5, Rear camera is as good as an Iphone XS max, Very good skin UI, not heavy modified by Sony; Vanilla android
Speakers has enough loundness; but its horrible for bass; Selfie camera is not as good as the competitors; Battery should be a bit better; Camera app could be better without some bugs
The Xperia 1 is a supermodel smartphone. After a week reviewing it, more squat phones just feel a bit weird. Its premium design and lithe frame shine, the screen is seriously good, there’s a clean interface, a great stills camera and it’s class-leading when it comes to video capabilities. It’s both the most expensive and the best Sony phone to date. Having said that, in the face of stiff competition from more affordable phones like the OnePlus 7 Pro and Honor 20 Pro, while it’s excellent, the Xperia 1 isn’t necessarily good value and its oddball size won't appeal to everyone. So if you’re a mobile gamer, watch more 16:9 shows than 21:9 movies, and care more about stills more than video, then there are other better phones out there that cost less. If, on the other hand, you’re a video enthusiast, edit a lot of documents, watch films when out and about, need a good camera and split-screen multitask a lot, this is cream of the crop.

Battery is good, not great; No wireless charging; Occasional lag in camera UI;

It's the latest flagship smartphone from Sony Mobile, and also the latest phone to follow the trend of elongating the screen so it's longer and...
Striking design; Excellent fingerprint unlock; Outstanding display; Versatile cameras
Screen could be brighter; Very occasional slow response
Sony has decided that if it isn't going to sell many phones, it might as well sell a niche phone to a specific audience. On these terms, the Xperia 1 is a success
Sony carved an interesting niche for itself earlier this year when it introduced the Xperia 1 flagship and Xperia 10 and 10 Plus mid-range phones. These three devices are among the first to adopt the 21:9 aspect ratio for the display, which puts them at odds with most other devices in the market.
High-quality hardware Blistering performance Impressive display Great for movies Excellent audio
Odd shape Incompatible apps/content No wireless charging No headphone jack Mediocre battery life
Sony has been lagging behind other big-name brands in the smartphone market, such as Huawei, Samsung and Apple. Despite having a very successful camera brand in the shape of its Alpha models, technology has not been shared between the two brands.
