Product ReviewsSony Xperia X Compact F5321 - 32GB - Universe Black (Unlocked) Smartphone

Good small phone with excellent camera.

The phone arrived on time and was exactly as specified in the description. I really like the phone, it has good features and long battery life, plus it is small. It has an excellent screen, easy to read. I like the styling of the phone. I wanted a small, full function phone and this definitely is it. Also the camera is excellent, takes great pictures and videos.Read full review...

Wish the listing was clearer about its preconfig

It's a great phone for a great price, but I wish the listing had made it clearer that it was preconfigured for a Japanese carrier. If you're going to do international business you need to let the customers know what they're getting. I managed to get the phone into a usable state for an English speaker, but it was unexpected stress and work. The phone's native launcher even deliberately hid the Google Play app icon to make it hard to get past the default apps. For a little while I was afraid I had completely wasted my money. Maybe I should have known better, but it was my first time ordering a phone directly from China.

That being said, with my preferred launcher and having disabled most of the Japanese apps, I am now quite happy with what I have for the price.Read full review...

Great compact phone

Really pleased with this phone so far. The formfactor is really sleek and i simply love the small size but still comfortable to use. Display looks great and phone feels snappy but haven't played demanding games or lots of multitasking with it really. A little annoying the default apps and stuff that are loaded on at first but this is manageable. Battery life isn't amazing but for most people it's totally fine to last a full day or two with moderate usage if keeping to light apps. I think for being a phone that is nearly 4 years old now it holds up great and for the value and size it's hard to beat. Would definitely consider another one if this one fails me in the future for this price point.Read full review...

The only decent Android Phone that is 5 inches in length!

I should preface this review by saying that I enjoy Android and was trying to stay with the OS rather than simply buy a small iPhone. There has been an alarming trend of Android phones growing larger and larger every year. I knew when my Moto G LTE needed replacement, I would have an awful time finding an Android phone with the same small form factor. For whatever reason, I have found that phones longer than five inches in length don't sit well in all my pants pockets and feel uncomfortable.

Searching all current Android phones sorted by length, I only found a few results five inches long: one was a budget phone with terrible specs, one was the Xperia X Compact with decent enough specs and a okay price, and a third was something very expensive. The major complaints against the X Compact were that it did not have a fingerprint scanner, its camera was good but not excellent, and it did not have a top-of-the-line CPU. I am a casual user and none of those complaints were dealbreakers for me and I've found the X Compact to be a great upgrade from my old Moto G.Read full review...

Good phone with a screen protector and a case inside the box

The phone looks good. Everything works. Inside the box there was a cheap silicon case and a screen protector which is a bit smaller than the screen itself. I though that the phone is a brand new. Could be refurbished. Anyway, battery holds, fingerprint button also works. Some Japanese software are non removable. Read full review...

Best Compact "Flagship"

Flagship in quotes because it's not running the best SoC. But in real world usage, it doesn't need it. Sony's relatively light rom runs very snappy on the SD650. But the speakers were very disappointing in terms of volume compared to it's predecessor ( Z5C ). Especially when the newer model is no longer waterproof.Read full review...

Worked for 6 months before software update

I have owned several Sony phones in the past. The Z1, the Z 3 compact and now the ☓ compact. I owned the Sony Xperia X Compact for a little over six months. The camera quality is good, but honestly is lacking compared to the iPhone 7.
The microphone quality is good for recording voice memos and other ideas, and is comparable to the iphone 7. The operating system is smooth and has little issues with it, but recently in December I updated. Days later I was no longer able to connect to wireless, or bluetooth. As the phone was still under warranty, I contacted Sony. They told me to do a hard reset and try to update the phone. I did, but this did not fix the issue. Going through the setup process, the wireless WOULD NOT CONNECT! I sent the phone back for repair through the Sony Warranty Program. I did not receive my phone back until December 22nd. Once received, the phone worked for about 3 weeks, and after the recent update the wireless and bluetooth were not working again. I emailed Sony again, and went through the process of returning it so they could repair the phone. My phone was only under warranty until the end of February, which was strange because I bought the phone in May. I received the phone back and it worked for 4 months, until it stopped charging. Come to find out there is an issue with the new smart charge software and my battery will only continue to charge if completely depleted. Now that I am outside of warranty, I have a nice paperweight for half a day. BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! BUYER BEWARE!!!Read full review...

As expected

Brand new and worked out of the box. Pre setup for Japan network but didn’t matter, simply removed apps I could and disabled the rest.
