We note that there are certainly significant differences between individual devices and also between routers and relevant chipsets on the 5 GHz frequencies. At both frequencies and in combination with both the R7800 and the R8000, the differences between...

Fast, impressive camera, especially XZ, Chic design, Water-resistance (on XZ only), Nimble performer, Strong battery life, Clever long-term charging system
No water resistance on Compact, Lots of Sony apps pre-installed, Not yet latest Android version
It's tough making a flagship phone stand out from rivals these days. Samsung chose a radically different design for its edge and Note phones, Apple chose two cameras for greater photographic versatility. Here, Sony has gone a little way to addressing both...
Abstract: Travelling back from Glasgow by train recently I was able to keep in touch all the way back mostly via 4G with around 15% of 3G coverage and a couple of times it was down to ‘E' in the more remote parts of the Lake District.It is 12.7x6.4x1cm and weighs 1...

Sony's Xperia X Compact is a small phone with an excellent camera, but it lacks some creature comforts, like waterproofing and, in the US, a fingerprint sensor...

The Sony Xperia X Compact isn't a bad phone, but it's one I find very difficult to endorse. Chiefly that's due to the handset putting the squeeze on all smartphones in the mid-range to high-end space: the OnePlus 3.At £329, but with comparable performance...

Sony Xperia X Compact is a good device with an interesting look. Although, on paper, the specifications do not cry miracle, in everyday use the phone behaves very well, even on the battery side. In fact, there are few compact devices with these features.T...
The Sony Xperia X Compact is an odd little smartphone. On the one hand its build quality, lack of waterproofing and lack of a standout feature make it harder to recommend compared to the older Xperia Z5 Compact. However, if you want a sub-5in Android smar...
Small and easy to use one-handed, Great camera quality
Design looks a little cheap, Slower than the Xperia Z5 Compact, No dust or water resistance
With a price that's £70 less than the Xperia Z5 Compact at launch, an improved camera, and even better battery life, the Sony Xperia X Compact is clearly not a bad phone. If you're looking for a pocketable Android smartphone, in fact, it remains pretty mu...

Small but premium, Slimmer body, Great camera setup
May be underpowered, Still not Full HD screen, Only 5MP selfie camera
Sony's smaller phone looks great, is easy to hold and seems to be as premium as some flagship handsets - but it may not be as powerful as previous Xperia Compact phones...
