I was waiting specifically for the Pro 5 Mini, too. I have no interest in the huge phones that are so prevalent in today's market. Dammit.

                  Really getting sick of people going on like this Meizu is something unique. Sony already did it better.. Accept it.

                    I don't believe in Meizu's version they couldn't realize the phone due to a earthquake...
                    There are a lot of manufacteurs who would take that job instead!

Turns out Meizu is just another sheep company. How do they not realize this phone could have set them apart. Dumb Meeeeehizu (sheepsound)

                              Who use phone bigger then 4,5-5' ? Women who wear them in their bags? 5+ its nearly tablets so why limit and dont use normal tablets ? Z1 nad Z3 Compact are really good phones if Sony eliminate a few issues they its will be great.

                                  Easily worth the trade-off for almost-unnoticable difference in resolution.

                                    - Z5 Compact

                                    What more options do you need?

                                      I had hoped that we FINALLY would see a phone with modern top specs, nothing like that have been released since 2011(!!). Only phablets too huge for one hand operation OR mid-speced phone sized devices!!

                                      If you search for a phone sized device with FHD you only find NONE

                                      Slacking it slightly to 66mm and you get a single one!!!

                                      (And that is with a mid-range specs otherwise, not even LTE nor 64 bits)
