Long time watcher (and buyer) thought I'd finally post as this looks like a great deal. The XZs wasn't released in the UK for some reason but is (almost) flagship specs in a smaller package. It includes the camera that the XZ premium has (super slo-mo) if that's something you're keen on. Did the usual Sony trick of being released at the wrong price, €650! Already a much more reasonable €490 on Amazon Italy, which with delivery to the UK comes to £422 (don't ask me why the price goes down when you checkout). The rate of the price drop should give some hope for those keen on the XZ Premium and waiting for it to go cheaper. The XZs has only been available for ~2 months.

Diddn't even realise this phone existed! they really need to work on their release cycle, this surely should release a year after the X compact which was only released 5 Months ago!

We've got to the point where 5.2" is considered relatively small, now? No wonder I haven't found a phone to buy for so many years.

This is what I'm struggling with and putting me off buying this. I'm coming from a Z1 Compact and with the bezels on this thing I can get a much bigger screen in almost the same size package (mind you, G6 and S8 still much more expensive). I'm hoping given Sony's haphazard release cycle there's a latest and greatest successor to the Z5 compact due later this year, but not sure I can hang on that long.

I have a Z3, so glad I didnt go for the Z5, such bad reviews but hoping the XZ premium will be good. The only thing that worries me is still the camera, I think its crap on the Z3 and have also seen reports of the same on the Z5 so hope they've improved it. The S8 can be had for £500 so not a huge difference on this deal.

just looked into this more, it's not the compact successor maybe i shouldn't have taken the op s words as Sonys. this is the successor to the Xperia XZ this is the new XZs that's it. i thought it stood for "small" as i thought the OP was saying small flagship. the x compact is still the small flagship IMO (which I'm using) of anyone has found a better small flagship phone let me know!

Sorry, wasn't meant to be misleading. The 'smaller' was with reference to the XZ Premium, which is a beast. I'm with you on the size, hence my comment aboe in hoping for a proper successor to the Z5 Compact (X Compact was weirdly positioned as a not quite flagship from what I remember).
