Sony Xperia Z1 Review
Android smartphone screens are getting bigger and bigger, and it has reached a point where you can’t get a top-of-the-line Android with a screen smaller than 5 inches. What do you do if that’s too big for your hands? If you don’t want an iPhone, then the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact wants to offer good things in a tiny package. It’s got all the goodness of Sony’s flagship Xperia Z1 compressed into a smaller form factor.Quick Tech Specs

Design: The Z1 Compact looks exactly like the Z1 and the Z1 Ultra, only miniaturized: it’s sleek, it feels premium and while it’s not heavy, it’s got a reassuring heft. And without a doubt, anyone will be able to operate this with a single hand. You’ll be proud to show this off. The unibody design and flaps for ports seal off the important bits and make it waterproof; but the flaps are quite annoying when you are fumbling in the dark to charge your phone. While this isn’t something we could test, it’s worth noting that we know Z1 and Z1 Ultra users who got scratches on the glass back of the phone with regular usage. Also, this phone has enormous bezels—space which could have been used better, either with capacitive touch buttons or by making the screen larger.
Screen: The 4.3-inch screen of the Z1 Compact is a treat for the eyes. The colours are true, the viewing angles are wide and the details are sharp. You couldn’t ask for anything else.
Performance: The Xperia Z1 Compact has the same processor and RAM powering current flagships, so there’s no question of lacking the horsepower you need for any task.
Memory: A lot of phones these days tend to put
