  • 4.3in size lets you get things done quickly
  • Rain and pool-proof
  • Great screen
  • This is what happens when you do a 'mini' version of a phone right. We've seen lacklustre efforts from the likes of Samsung and HTC with mini versions of their flagship phones before
  • But Sony has spared no expense while zapping the Z1 with the shrink ray - in fact
  • Practically every tech spec remains the same in this premium handset. You're still treated to the snappy 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm p

The editors didn't like

  • Rectangle design won't be to everyone's taste
  • No choice on small internal memory
  • Screen can look slightly washed out
  • Runs using older Android version
  • The body of our black model scratched easily
  • Camera not amazing
  • A step below other highend phones
  • Lack of Android 4.4
  • Sony's UI feels slightly dated
  • Screen is still only 720p
  • Camera has processing problems
  • Bezels are on the big side
  • Poor bundled services
  • Awful low light photography
  • Glass back prone to smudges
  • Custom UI is not great
  • Sacrifice screen size for usability
  • WiFi reception could be better Not yet Android KitKat Lots of Sony bloatware preloaded
  • Compact
  • Yes – but not as ergonomic as an iPhone
  • Camera isn't the best on a phone this size
  • There's not much to fault the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact on
  • As somehow
  • Sony has managed to cram in a ton of top-notch tech into such a small chassis. You could argue that it's a tad thick compared to an iPhone 5s at 9.5mm deep
  • But that's down to its waterproof aluminium and glass chassis. It won't win any awards for the thinnest phone on the market
  • But it's still pocketable and it's robust enough
  • Prone to scratching
  • Launches on Android 4.3 and software hasn't moved on very far
  • Little on the chunky side
  • Subpar lowlight camera performance
  • No Android KitKat out of the box
  • There are better smartphone cameras out there
  • Fingerprint and dust magnet
  • Big bezels above and below screen
  • Flaps on ports
  • No selectable macro mode
  • Pre-applied ASF
  • Not latest version of Android
  • Premium design and features comes with a premium price
  • Could have more internal storage
  • Sony's apps are heavy handed
  • Camera key can be tricky to use
  • Screen isn't HD 1080p
  • Disappointing camera
  • Back scratches too easily
  • Ugly compared to an iPhone
  • No Android 4.4 KitKat
  • Port covers might destroy your nails

  • Das Sony Xperia Z1 Compact ist ein sehr schnelles und vor allen Dingen sehr handliches Smartphone. Die Kamera liefert – wegen des Designfehlers bei der LED – aktuell nur dann gute Aufnahmen, wenn ausreichend Licht zur Verfügung steht. Ds mag den ein oder...

  • Volle High-End-Ausstattung, Gute Kamera, Sehr lange Akku-Laufzeit
  • Schwammiger Tasten-Druckpunkt, Schwacher Lautsprecher
  • Mit dem Xperia Z1 Compact hat Sony als erster Hersteller von Android-Smartphones Oberklasse-Komponenten in ein kleineres Gehäuse gesteckt. In Sachen Ausstattung lässt es Modelle wie das Galaxy S4 Mini von Samsung oder das One Mini von HTC, bei denen die H...

  • Das Sony Xperia Z1 Compact ist in meinen Augen das derzeit beste Smartphone auf dem Markt, denn es bietet das derzeit beste Gesamtpaket, das auf mich einen absolut runden Eindruck gemacht hat. Kein überflüssiger Schnick-Schnack, sondern Konzentration aufs...
