Some will jump ship for Apple, but others will want another Android phone&#8230; and two of Sony&#8217;s phones, the Xperia XZ and the Xperia X Compact, are some of the best choices on the market. For those people, there&#8217;s one accessory they should consider essential: the official Sony DK60 charging dock. Let&#8217;s take a closer look.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-65532\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/fully-safety-tested-desktop-029469b867767dcd24672ec177cc5b67.jpg\" alt=\"fully-safety-tested-desktop-029469b867767dcd24672ec177cc5b67\" width=\"2000\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/fully-safety-tested-desktop-029469b867767dcd24672ec177cc5b67.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/fully-safety-tested-desktop-029469b867767dcd24672ec177cc5b67-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/fully-safety-tested-desktop-029469b867767dcd24672ec177cc5b67-768x311.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/fully-safety-tested-desktop-029469b867767dcd24672ec177cc5b67-450x182.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This design ensures that the USB-C connector isn&#8217;t bent or twisted when you insert the phone; it&#8217;ll go in right every time. The dock has a USB-C cable, which can be plugged into a mains adapter or a computer.\u00a0It provides fast 3A charging, so you won&#8217;t have to wait long until your phone is charged.<\/p>\n<p>The DK60 dock is compatible with the Sony Xperia XZ and the Xperia X Compact, and should work well\u00a0with future USB-C phones from Sony too.
