  • 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

  • Per chi come me non ama i telefoni enormi è stato un sollievo ricevere questo dispositivo sul mercato da parte di un'azienda che si è sempre contraddistinta per la qualità dei propri prodotti e per l'attenzione al design. Il Sony Xperia Z1 Compact non ...

  • Hardware al top, Compatto e robusto, Resistente ad acqua e polvere, Fotocamera da 20 megapixel
  • Software migliorabile, La fotocamera non è una certezza, Alcuni sportellini potrebbero cedere nel tempo, Schermo graffiato con troppa semplicità
  • Sony Xperia Z1 Compact è un esperimento molto interessante (ovvero attaccare direttamente iPhone 5S con un prodotto al top in dimensioni contenute). Come tutti gli esperimenti il primo tentativo non sempre riesce, ma per fortuna non è questo il...
