(This thread is for Google's bots sake, I had a hard time finding good and clear infos on the phone (compatibility, Xposed use, rooting), so I'd like to do a little status report for any poor souls lost in the search engines. Some informations in this thread will seem useless, some are just tags.)
Last phone : Stratosphere II, JellyBean 4.1.2, 5 MP camera, physical keyboard, very cheap in early 2015 (imported phone, couldn't send pics)
Why the Z5 Compact : As little as the Stratosphere, 6.0 ready, PS4 Remote Play ready, way faster hardware, way more features (and I can finally send dick pics)
I received the Z5 Compact 5 days ago (July 19th) and started my path to salvation, thank god I was in vacation, the rooting, xposing, and troubleshooting were a pain in the ass.

The "overheating" of the device
As people mentioned, some past Zs were heating more than the Z5C, also, the materials used in this thin phone conduct the heat easily, so it feels hotter than other phones, don't worry too much about it. If you're scared, get CPUTemp or others, to always have an eye on the temps. Past 60 celsius you can start to think, below, don't worry I suppose.
SPECIAL MENTION ABOUT THE REMOTE PLAY APP
The official Remote Play app becomes incompatible with rooted devices. Which is an absolute shame for a fast Sony device. There's a solution to this :
PS4 Remote Play for Android
Version used in my case : RemotePlayPortV4.0.apk
Status : Works perfectly
