Here is the new 'Ambient Flow' design, it's not just a smooth surface but it fits really nicely on your palm (I'm not paid to say this)

Sorry Sony fans, no 3.5mm headphone jack port

This time, the power button is placed quite far from the volume rockers, the shutter button is still ever present

The sensor on the left is not a camera, but it's used to detect your facial with 3D Creator (you can now do it yourself too)

S-Force surround sound system, quite 'powderful' for a smartphone. It also has a new Dynamic Vibration System applicable for video playback, games and recorded videos for the 'umph' effect, as well as capable of recording 4K HDR videos. Also, Super Slow-Mo is now available in Full HD 1080p

Comparing the size between the Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Compact

The XZ2 Compact is surprisingly small and comfortable to hold, this should be a new fan favourite for users who love small phones, the back deisgn is not glossy glass but in polycarbonate material and extremely lightweight

Side view on both sides, the SIM card tray is placed on the left side instead of the top unlike the Xperia XZ2
