Picked mine up

[Cuchulainn]

Went to store earlier for a last minute pre-order and they has stock in, so I've now got a black one!

It's lovely - excellent screen (nicer than my G4), really solid build and first impressions are fast. Very excited to get to know it over the next few days!

Please share your battery experience

 

[Cuchulainn]

I'll share battery info but am off work the next few days so it won't be representative.

Camera seems good. Not tried low light. Definitely not going to take a picture of a grid because snaps so far look good and if I calibrate it and then see some distortion on the grid it'll annoy me unnecessarily. If I really need pictures of objects with minimal distortion then no camera phone is suitable so in my mind no point looking for flaws in a phone that's giving me a great first impression.

Are you on T-Mobile USA, if so, does VoLTE work on your phone?

 

[Cuchulainn]

I'm in the UK. Just got the new firmware update too. Still good impression after using it today.

Got mine as well, went for the Blue version. Had the XZ and the XZ1 is a good improvement, much quicker, a bit lighter and nicer overall. Also got the XZ Premium which I find a bit unwieldy in comparison. I'd been looking forward to the XZ1 coming out and am not disappointed. I loved the XZ so I knew in advance I'd really like the XZ1.

 

[Cuchulainn]

Decent battery - not a normal day's use. But about 3 hours screen on time and still 53% left.

Screen auto dim is a bit annoying. It doesn't change as smoothly as the g4 but seems to stutter. This a Sony thing?

 

[murrayalex]

anyone else with a blue one? The paint/finish on the back of mine looks like it a bit thin...there's a wispy/straggly bit all the way down the middle which is visible when tilted and it's annoying me

 

[Cuchulainn]

I'm on the black one, they only had that and silver in stock and I didn't like the look of the silver from the front. Had planned on getting a blue if they had one though!

'The auto backlight mode is jittery, though. It flickers up and down rather than doing so smoothly. I’ve found it a bit distracting when reading an article on the train. Go through a tunnel and the Xperia XZ1 looks like it’s having a breakdown. Let’s hope Sony fixes this with an update.'

Thanks for the link on the review. If it's being commented on in reviews then hopefully Sony will sort out the screen.

Using it today, the phone is definitely responsive. And no stuttering over Bluetooth. That was driving me mad on the g4

How's the camera guys? I'm thinking of buying it but not sure because of the distortion issue.

Blue one for me also coming from the green Z5 I love this one.! Two things I notice though 'where are the small apps and why is the nfc icon in the status bar!'

So I just received my Sony XZ1 compact, and I was hoping someone could help me with these three questions:

- how can I check my lockscreen (notifications) when using the fingerprint sensor? (It immediately unlocks...)
- two triangles appear left of the WiFi icon (in the statusbar) when data is being transferred, shifting the position of the vibrate icon; is there any way to prevent this? (It's rather distracting)
- vibration is really noisy, can others with an XZ1 compact confirm?

Thanks!

Use a different finger or try to puss the button using the minimum of your finger just to see the lockscreen. I had the same problem and solve it like this
