Why is there no XZ1 compact port?
 

As in the title - many people complain phones are too big (me included) yet this little phone is in the AOSP and has no port.

Did someone try and have problems?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I have been an Xperia compact phone user going back to Z1 Compact on KitKat, (2014 I think - I actually had an X10 Mini in 2011 and an Active in 2012, but things were different then...), so I am always monitoring and occasionally testing whatever they come up with next, and, when I started to get interested in the XZ phones, what I noticed was that the specs for XZ1c and XZ2c were almost the same, but the XZ1c seemed harder to get and more expensive. I have no idea why, beyond speculation, but that's the main reason I never bothered with the XZ1c, (but am currently using my second XZ2c).... Maybe Sailfish devs noticed the same thing...

Thanks for the reply levone :)

For me the ZX2c is significantly thicker which isn't great, I could live with it but the missing headphone socket makes it a no-go.

As you've been interested throughout is it safe to say no-one's tried the XZ1c? Not saying I'd definitely get it working but if someone experienced already tried and failed I don't like my chances as a newbie.

I haven't heard of anybody trying. However, there does seem to be plenty of development for it at XDA, etc, so seems like worth a shot. I guess it's a Yoshino device. I might be wrong, but I don't think any of the other Sailfish devices are, so maybe additional challenge there...

As far as headphone jack - XZ2c does come with usb-c plugin headphones, and you probably could get an adapter to use other ones...
