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 most powerful Android phone of its size

Not enormous like every other topend Android
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

De Xperia Z1 Compact kan zich met het scherm, de prestaties, de accuduur en camera met gemak meten met populaire telefoons als de Galaxy S4, HTC One en iPhone 5S. De behuizing begint wat gedateerd aan te voelen na de vrijwel identiek ogende Xperia Z, Z...

Abstract: De Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is kleinere, maar even krachtige uitvoering van de Sony Xperia Z1 . De Xperia Z1 Compact is tijdens de CES 2014 in Las Vegas aan de pers getoond. De Xperia Z1 in de compacte uitvoering is net als zijn grotere broer stof- en water...

Net als bijna iedere fabrikant komt nu ook Sony met een kleinere uitvoering van hun vlaggenschip. De Xperia Compact is volgens de fabrikant een echte miniversie van de Z1, zonder dat de prestaties van de grote broer zijn ingeleverd. Volgens Sony is dat un
Wat meteen opvalt aan het toestel, is de ligging in de hand. Het voelt erg prettig aan en het gewicht is net iets lichter dan zijn grote broer, de Z1. Wie grote schermen van 5 inch gewend is, moet even wennen aan deze 4,3. Maar veel mensen die niets moete
Zoek je een compact toestel, maar wil je niets inleveren op specificaties, dan lijkt de Sony Xperia Z1 Compact een schot in de roos. De telefoon is duurzaam en is dankzij het handzame formaat en zijn 4,3 inch scherm goed met één hand te bedienen. Wel g...
Odlična ergonomija, hardverske performanse, 20.7 MP kamera i hardverska shutter tipka, vodootporan i otporan na prašinu, velika autonomija.
Konkurencija ima bolje ekrane, uvjetno rečeno cijena.
Sony je napravio smanjenu verziju svojeg Z1 flagshipa koji je dostojan nositi njegovo ime. Počevši od prepoznatljivog OmniBalance dizajna, vodonepropusne konstrukcije, preko moćnog Snapdragon 800 SoC-a i 20.7MP stražnje kamere pa do operativnog sistema i...
Z1 Compact splnilo vše, co Sony slíbilo. Telefon akorát do ruky, přesto výkonově na špici a dokonce voděodolný. Několik drobných nedostatků nebude mrzet tolik jako lesklá záda, která design a hlavně používání telefonu sráží o dvě třídy níže. Současně s ko...
