Anyone have this phone yet? Was thinking of getting it as a Sony compact line alternative. Want to ditch my Sony phone cause it keeps overheating... Does the Aquos have that issue? Also are there any custom roms available for it?

How to get Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow?
If you want official Sony firmware you have to change your phone to Z3 at least. Z1 compact was dropped and will never get any new version.

If there is no Android M then this is my last phone from Sony. I mean, this is ****. State of the art device two years ago and EOLed already. They must be kidding us.
In my opinion Sony is actually one of the best. But i agree. it's kind of sad that we can't have Sony marshmallow firmware for this great device. It is'nt even close being outdated yet.

So I'm looking for a nice 5 to 5.2" phone to fill the hole my xperia z3 compact left in my heart! Does anyone have this variant of the zuk z2? Is it rocking a more stable rom? I know MWC is just around the corner. Looking for a little help deciding. Thanks!

There is no such thing as international version. There are Chinese aka ZUK Z2 and Indian aka Lenovo Z2 Plus.
The stock ZUI is a big mess and not very polished, although it's frequently updated. There is official stable Nougat available.
Other than that, there is a great support for this device from the custom ROM devs, probably 2nd most popular SD820 Chinese phone after Mi5.
For the price it goes for, there's nothing else that even comes near it. The base Mi5 costs around 40 bucks more (3/32).
Now if you're coming from Z3 compact, you'll notice a difference, since this device (zuk z2) is as big as the original Xperia Z. I've came from Moto X 2013 and even after months I can still notice it's a bit larger than I was used to. Other than that, it's a great device.

I've bought my device on Banggood for 169$ with use of coupons. Shipment to my country (Poland) took about 20 days. Installing TWRP is "easy-peasy" and from this you have open way to installing various roms. If you won't like ZUI you can try official MOKEE rom (which gives more AOSP expreience with great battery life). I've flashed ZUI based on Nougat debloated by user Francko76 and installed Action Launcher 3. Works great as my daily driver and by the end of day (with my usage) I still have about 20% battery left. As I know, most frequent issues with this device are antenna and usb port.
Hi Guys,
I have noticed this kind of thread in some of the other devices, so created one for the xz1 compact.
I really am waiting to get this device.
I had z3c and loved it due to its size and battery life. No other phone came close to it.
But unfortunately, xz1 compact is announced but not available in India anywhere.
Even sony has no information when and if it will be available in India.
So, guys, anyone with any information regarding this, please post it on here.
It will help me and some others also as well.
Thanks.
Sony has not launched any recent compact version in India, Z5 Compact, X compact have not been made available in India. I even contacted Sony for knowing about X Compact's India lauch which the service executives were not aware of.
My guess is they ll not launch XZ1 compact either.
Does anyone have Flux Substratum on their sony oreo devices running andromeda?
Im interested in buying it but im not sure if its possible without having some sort of glitching or broken overlays.
If it is broken, are there any similar dark themes that I could actually use without rooting my phone. Its kinda frustrating and i absolutely don't wanna root my device because i dont want the trouble of dealing with a rooted phone. Its kinda pathetic how substratum uses Sony OMS but it barely works on their own xperia lineup....
Hi, you are on XA forums so no Oreo devices here.
Hej, i was thinking of buying a used xperia Z1 compact, or a Z2 etc, an older Sony xperia.
I read some guides that explain you can install android 8 or even 9 on them, is this reliable? Obviously, a Z1 or Z2 or anything that old will be having an older android OS, limiting the phone to various apps and features.
By installing/modding a Z1 compact with android 9, would i get all the modern features that a 'modern' phone would have, that is equipped with Oreo or Pie?
Also, the Z1 compact can be rooted/modded to have 120fps/4k video recording already since 2014, will one get this functionality by installing android 8 or 9?

Found the below guides for installing a newer android, but these guides seem not so great?
http://theupgradeguide.com/2019/10/...a-z1-compact-resurrection-remix-how-to-guide/
Those phones can be had rather cheap used, and i really like those phones. Have one with a shattered screen, but fixing that would be more costly then getting another one used.
Also, another question, a Z2 which screen doesnt respond sometimes to touch, is that generally a software or hardware problem?
Thanks alot for the input! :highfive:
