Sak, 18 Aug 2017It seems that sony doesn't want to grow...they are still ma... moredoes removing the top/bottom bezels considered as growing up? i dont even mind the bezels because sony put a BIG camera at the top and stereo speaker top bottom, there are plenty of good reason keeping the the bezels and those reasons has already been stated many many times.

for ppl who play smartphone games a lot, those bezels really helps in playing games on landscape mode.

bezel is sony's identity

    Also not the source, but the sources source says 2800mah like other rumors. I think the source has a typo.

      AnonD-668972, 18 Aug 2017Do you think it is a powerbank that packs only battery? LOL... moreZ3c was tested with the old methodology and ended up with a lower screen brightness, boosting it's rating.
      Phonearena's SoT test got nearly same as z3c with the x compact.
      This should be crazy on 10nm.

Did they know that SD835 can help the battery life? I don't think so, they only think about the size of battery.

            xperia compact is the best small screen flagship phone. the only one who can compete is iphone 4.0"/4.7".

            and yet ppl still complaining about this small 4.6" device has 2,600mah battery..

              XZ1 and XZ1 Compact have been leaked. So, the Sony phone with rear fingerprint (edge to edge screen too) could be X1

                Looks like they moved the volume key from the x compact location.

                    It seems that sony doesn't want to grow...they are still making phones with monster bezel while tussle is going on to reduce/remove the bezels among the toppers..

                      I'll keep my Z1 compact LOL. I love Sony for their near AOSP experience, stability and awesome battery life But they just never ever evolve, and the prices for this compact are way too high. Sad.

                      Looks like it's Essential for me.

                          But real users keep complainig about unpracticality, whilst nonsense folk here keep complaining about bezels.
                          Anyways, its Quite a consumer consumin trend I see.
                          Its sweeping the smartphone world like "crazy". :-D

                            XZ1 Compact is a 4.6" device with 2600mAh battery - 300mAh less while being 0.9" smaller.

                            Oh, I don't wanna talk about the S8 and its 5.8" screen powered by a 3000mAh battery - the XZ Premium with its 5.5" screen and 3230mAh battery will destroy that.

                              See why Samsung has also gone down the road of on-screen keys at least with their flagships of 2017.

                              And if the bezels are really used as capacitive keys and fingerprint scanner of the device, then judging the size of the bezels, it's pretty much wasteful on the phone as well.

                              With the Sony, we have a 1/3.06" 13mp AF front camera that blows the ones on that Nokia 8.

                              And should I talk about which one implements the fingerprint scanner on a location more original?
                              Nokia 8, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge 2017 edition, as obviously seen on the front.

                                They were not an issue back then until some sh1tty OEMs started getting rid of it and lured people into believing that it's the future.

                                        for those that complain that the phone is too thick .... +1mm
                                        I hope for you when you get fat it will be just 1mm more.
