I think Pixel Peepers It's honest, most of the time at least.
But this review is the most honest and made by someone who knows photography and video.

Matthew Moniz and SalsTech are also honest. Look at their comparisons that involved XZ2.

I like the guys from TOPES DE GAMA, both used to work for site Andro4all.
This 2018 Sony is being very kind to my country. I am very surprised.
Reasons why...
1) Compact is available again. Z3c was only one. Price is equivalent to $ 954. Just 10% over Z3+ in our money.
2) XZ2 is cheaper than Z5, Z5P, XZ, XZP and XZ1. XZ was the 32GB only.
3) XA2 Ultra is same price of XA1 Ultra.
4) XA2 is same price of XA1, pre sale has gifts... A 32GB micro sd + headphones.
No sign of L2 yet.

So I've been testing the S9, S9+, XZ2 and had the XZ2 Compact for a short while over the weekend.
Camera on XZ2 was better in daylight than both S9 and S9+ in the majority of situations. I liked having HDR off because you get a much more natural look and less loss of detail. Galaxy S9+ gives less detail in all shots but the processing makes the images look more appealing so Instagram people would like this. Sony is more detailed and natural. Sometimes if it's too sunny it's better to adjust your position and angles rather than mess about with HDR, I didn't like what it did to the image.
Night shots where you have street lighting and shop lights look good on XZ2, you get much more detail. Galaxies look nice with vibrant glowing colours but it was not true to the scene. Ultra dim is good that you pick lots more up but it's very messy while Galaxy picks less up but its much nicer as a picture. XZ2 almost looks like grainy police CCTV images you see on the news. I fully expect XZ2 to get over 100 in DXO apart from the dual camera special tests. Very impressed, it definitely sits in the S9+ bracket and no reviewer can deny that.
Other things that struck me with the four phones is that the XZ2 is similar in size to the S9+ and the Compact closer to the S9. You notice this when the devices are together. I do not understand how Samsung cram so much into such a sleek body, the XZ2 Compact for one should definitely smaller than what it is. A S9 Compact with 5 inch screen would probably be the size of iPhone 5SE, Sony should aim to be smaller and thinner than the iPhone 8.

Xz2 compact dimensions and weight
135 x 65 x 12.1 mm
168g
2870 mah
Iphone 8 dimensions and weight
138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3 mm
148g
1821 mah
S9 dimensions and weight
147.7 x 68.7 x 8.5 mm
163g
3000mah
The difference is clear
S9 is not in the xz2 compact category
I like the xz2 compact more than the xz2 except for the looks

The compact has smaller battery, smaller screen, few of them smaller front camera, usually single sim.
All this makes it cheaper than the sibling.
I dont understant why the outside is always cheaper too.
No compact has ever looked as premium as the 5.2" version.
When you hold Z3 then Z3c , they feel very different.

The iPhone 8 is thin which makes it easy to handle, the Compact is very thick so it seems a lot less premium than it's specs suggest. I'll admit that the iPhone 8 was the wrong comparison because of the screen size but despite the bezels it feels great.
The S9 is a different case, you get much more screen so it feels very comparable to the Compact and a lot smaller than the XZ2. The S9+ is big but when you turn the screen on it dominates everything and feels very immersive.
I guess it's my personal gripe because I don't want the Compact to be bigger than the XZ1 Compact , I just wanted the bigger screen in the same body. If you keep increasing the size and have to eventually use two hands then it's not compact anymore. They could've at least kept the headphone jack given the size of the modafoka.

I like what they did to XA2.
From 5" to 5.2" and also shoter body.
Compact with 4.8" and same 13,1cm would be great.
Same way XZ2 with 5.5 " and 14,8 or 15 cm.
Keeping 16:9 screen.
