The headphone jack began its mass exodus away from flagships last year, with Sony ditching it on the Xperia XZ2 phones. For the first time, though, we could see a company bring back the much-wanted port.

QuoteSony is set to reintroduce the headphone jack to its flagship lineup with the upcoming Xperia XZ4 Compact,
Is Sony set to reintroduce the OIS to its compact flagship lineup?
One could only wish. They're probably trying to shove their EIS upon the user, thinking it's better.
As for the 3.5 mm, reintroducing it in a compact flagship (a niche with very devoted customers) is a nice reason to jack up the price... see what I did there? :D
That's good to hear, but the last "compact" was xz1 compact with 130mm length. 2 was 135mm. 4 is supposed to be 140mm. It just keeps growing.
14 cm would be the perfect size for me... and if they add the jack they'll get my money
