Very tempted in replacing my wife's Z5 Compact with this, will order from Clove and get in sent here to Oz so only works out at around £400
What are you doing in OZ?
It's where I live now mate.

Well done Sony on the battery department. Finally a unique selling point for Sony flagship phone - Best in class battery life.

Synthetic benchmark is also great
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_xz1_compact-review-1660p5.php
But what really stood out for me is their praise for the actual performance -
They mentioned how great a phone can perform in benchmark but shows
lag and
stutters in real world experience like the new
Note 8 and other various flagship but not XZ1C.
"The phone runs SUPER COOL under peak performance, is capable of handling literally anything hassle-free, and offers amazingly smooth Android operations. Yes, the Xperia XZ1 Compact is probably the FASTEST phone right now no matter what some SCORE CARDS are telling you."
They also seem to improve the low light performance a bit. But still not the level of best flagship camera level. Hopefully it's a sign that they are working hard to improve.

Its actually a pretty good review and you can tell that they like it hence why despite it being near identical to the XZ1, they were much more in favour of the Compact. I just want some consistency (looking at you Phonearena) because this is most comparable to the iPhone 8 as opposed to something like the S8 so when you even out the bezel complaints and screen resolution you imagine that the Compact will get something like the 9.2 score because apart from the camera, the Compact has everything else on point right?

Got the first case for my future XZ1C
Gives me first size impression ... it is bigger than my Z3C ... +/- 4mm
the case itself is made from soft and hard plastic with a stand that you can remove
still waiting for the Sony Style cover touch.
got it from here and it comes in 4 colors.

Saw this in the shop at the weekend and was very impressed by it, it stands out in the sea of large phones. Those who have the phone have not had many gripes so far. Camera is a common thing that people want improved (low light, over-sharpening but no mention of distortion yet) and the software is a little buggy. My friends and testers are saying they get 2 full days with low to moderate use which is something I never expected to hear. The overall quality of the device is top notch, pocket-ability and materials are great. They say they wish there was more screen because the device size is perfect even if it is a bit fat. I really wanted to buy this on Saturday but it looked too outdated next to whack devices like the LG G6, I'm going to wait for the new design language and then decide, it's expensive and I'd be so gutted if the next Compacts were to come with a 5 inch screen in the same body size and that is really frustrating for me. Anyone wanting a small Andorid should definitely check it out particularly in the black because you get the impression that the screen is bigger than it actually is. Its also refreshing to use a small device with one hand compared to every other phone out there. Had this come with 1080p and HDR then it would've been the bomb, big XZ1 is getting no love and I don't see much point in that device unless you need those one or two features. While the like of the Note 8 have their wow appeal in one way, his has its own appeal so I would advise people to check it out particularly if you are lusting over XZ1 or S8.

Thanks for that Badassmam. I like one handed usability of this device but like you say, it might be worth waiting for the new design language devices to appear early next year and if nothing tickles my fancy then this will have dropped in price a bit (I've already seen it for below £400).

This is a top device no doubt but it really comes down to whether you like the design or not. The screen quality is excellent despite being 720p.

Got mine yesterday. Like it so far.
Obviously the camera distortion is just bad....
