I have been a big Xperia fan for awhile now but I can't really reconcile paying that much for the XZ2 or XZ2 Compact when the XA2 (which I ended up with) is small-enough--as small as the Compact, but manageable, and I don't have large hands--and costs half the money or less.

The design language for the XZ2, particularly the weird back, is unappealing to me too, and the button configuration hearkens back to the Z3 (still, IMO, their most satisfying design).

If only Sony had not followed the fad of putting a glass back on the Z3/Z3C... I've replace the back on my wife's Z3C two times now and lo and behold, it is cracked again. The back glass is more vulnerable than the front glass which makes it all the more annoying that it is there in the first place as it serves no purpose other than to look shiny.
