> I'm asking because I'm torn between Xperia XZ1 Compact and the iPhone SE...

As someone who's in the likely unique position of carrying an iPhone SE and an XZ1 Compact in their pocket every day (and a Pixel), I'd recommend the iPhone SE:

- The iPhone SE is 20% lighter, which you notice over an extended time of using both phones.

- The camera on the XZ1C is frankly abysmal. The iPhone SE has a far better camera.

- I think the iPhone SE runs iOS better than the XZ1C runs Android.

However:

- I think the XZ1C has better battery life.

- The XZ1C has a MicroSD slot.

- You can install open source ROMs and MicroG if you want to own your device.
