With the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 off the market, there will be millions of former owners looking for an alternative. Some will jump ship for Apple, but others will want another Android phone… and two of Sony’s phones, the Xperia XZ and the Xperia X Compact, are some of the best choices on the market. For those people, there’s one accessory they should consider essential: the official Sony DK60 charging dock. Let’s take a closer look.
The DK60 follows a similar design to its predecessors, a simple and elegant block of matte black plastic that measures about 40 x 20mm. A notch cut near the front of the box provides a space for the phone to sit, and conceals a USB-C port.
This design ensures that the USB-C connector isn’t bent or twisted when you insert the phone; it’ll go in right every time. The dock has a USB-C cable, which can be plugged into a mains adapter or a computer. It provides fast 3A charging, so you won’t have to wait long until your phone is charged.
The DK60 dock is compatible with the Sony Xperia XZ and the Xperia X Compact, and should work well with future USB-C phones from Sony too. It’s fully case compatible, so you don’t have to take your case off to charge it — a real time saver.
Of course, the big benefit of a dock is that you also get a perfect platform to watch your phone. Whether you’re keeping an eye on incoming notifications or browsing the news, you can still use your phone conveniently — you won’t miss that important call.
The Sony DK60 dock is an essential accessory for the Xperia XZ, Xperia X Compact and future Sony phones, and it’s coming soon to Mobile Fun. For more information, check out the product page linked below.

£35 is ever so extortionate for such a basic accessory! I had the magnetic charging dock for the Z2 and I paid just under £10 brand new for that. Absolutely ridiculous pricing, just like the style cover for the Xperia X…
No worries mate
