Nice find, that's a whole lot of phone for the money.

XZ1 is only £20 more: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0753MMK5B?tag=22 and an additional tenner gets you the XZ premium, both far superior phones: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06X9R8FL8?tag=22

Has anyone got one? The reviews are very mixed.

My Galaxy S5 is dying as I type. 'Twas a magical phone and served me well for 4.5 years. I can't afford an S9 so now looking for something reasonable with a bit of oomph

PS I love U

Almost bought the premium version today , but noticed a few reviews saying it overheats and camera slows down in warm weather. I could well believe the phone gets warm with the video specs the phone has.

The xiaomi mi8 is on the cards for few more quid.

Went for the Compact. Always wanted a compact powerhouse. And XZ1 is the last one before Sony increased the screen size.

Pulled the trigger as need a new phone and at this price it is less than half the price of a P20 Pro and other Samsung devices. Where would you get a similar spec for <€300!

Very tempted

I wonder could it go for lower in coming week's sales

Just found the A8 £232 + £30 shipping

It's a good phone I believe, dunno if it warrants it's own bargain thread at that price

This is part of black Friday sales. Amazon has already started it.

Keep a constant eye on Warehouse deals, I got a Xperia XA1 for the young one's XMas pressie, box damaged, charging cable missing, phone was perfect, not as much as a fingerprint. Snapped it up for an insane £73, took some photos with it, excellent camera

Is your 1St link not the same phone?
Looks like it to me.
Both 4.6 screens.
If it is different, what makes it worth 20 more?

S8 here for £322, seems good value https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B06XYMCMHD/ref=psdcmw_356496011_t2_B07BXXYHWD

God dammit, I literally just bought one last week on ebay for 290 😡

Either way, it's an amazing little phone. Excellent build quality and an easy two battery! I just got sick of massive phones

€385 is still a good price.

Cheers op, was in the market for a small phone for someone and this fits the bill very well, all reviews say it's solid and it's snapdragon 835 is great

Yip, the XZ1 compact is a great phone.
I used it for months and it was very quick and very light compared to the other phones as the rear isnt made with glass.
And android pie is rolling out for it last week as well
