Small format Android phones are rare but I really needed one (and I did not want iPhone). The reviews of the Xperia X Compact were somewhat mixed but, so far, it's been great for me. Upgrading from a Samsung S III mini, so everything seems excellent to me. I have had no trouble with cycling time between photos. In addition, there are many comparison points I don't care about like color heat. Took several hours over my slow home wifi to download all the updates but I expected that. Plenty of internal storage and 3G RAM and I added an SD card so I'm good - but I'm not looking to play games or watch full-length feature films on my phone, either. Got some inexpensive but good cases and an armband for running and extra USB-C cables from Amazon. No battery problems. All good.

Privately listen to your music with these JVC Gumy Plus HAFR6W headphones that feature sound isolation to help minimize distractive sounds, so you can stay immersed in your audio. The rubber body design and silicone earpieces offer a comfortable fit.
Works well, especially for price. Decent sound quality with no outbleed. Don't know how long it will last, particularly the cords, which always go first in items like these. Does not have built-in microphone for phone use.
