Surficial, 20 Sep 2017Quite likely the smallest smartphone in 2017/18 period.I want an android device similar to Sony Ericsson Xperia mini's 88mm heigh dimension. Sony used to be good at making devices as small as possible with the latest technology, but have recently lost their way. That was a true mini and was running Android too.

And no, read the GSM Arena's review of it - the speakers are just one part of the story. :-) I knew someone would try to spin it this way, should've been more precise with my previous post.

                  Superb. Also it will be interesting to compare the on-screen GPU frame rates of the SD835 in the XZ1 Compact to that of the A11 in the new iPhones.

                                  the real thing is the resolution.
