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

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

Cena, Veľmi výkonný hardvér, Skvelá výdrž na batériu, Dobré továrenské spracovanie, Odolnosť, Konektivita
Predné sklo a zadný plast sa rýchlo doškriabu, Fotoaparát má svoje muchy, Nie najlepší zvukový výstup reproduktora
Teraz sa hodí istá chvíľa úprimnosti. Som majiteľom a používateľom iPhone. Prvý v mojich rukách bol iPhone 4, teraz používam iPhone 5S a triezvo som s ním maximálne spokojný. Teda, až na výdrž batérie, pravdaže. Považujem ho za jeden z top produktov v ...
Niet nieuwste Android 4.3 Jelly Bean), Software Sony voegt niks toe, Prijzig voor minitoestel
De Sony Xperia Z1 Compact ligt vanaf medio februari in de winkel. Eindelijk een minitoestel dat niet onderdoet voor de specificaties van zijn grote broer....
