      Anonymous, 20 Sep 2017worth $50, Not moreWell , it looks like you judging a phone by it's design , not by it's under hood performance , concluded as you're saying bezel-less is expensive , bezel phone is cheap . There's no way a powerful small phone sell at $50 or less , even with those bezel . Like LG Q6 can compete with XZ1 Compact . What a typical.....

          good afternoon to all this mobil is going to be a boom the only defect is that it does not bring MHL usb the other with that resolution of screen and the processor 835SD and the RAM LPDDR4X of double channel I think it will surpass and it is the tlf that more is going to approach iphone X in performance and good battery normal I think it will be enough for all day with hard performance remember santiagorrr comments I've been reading gsmarena for 12 years

                        Anonymous, 21 Sep 2017Sony Xperia have factory in Thailand and for the camera sen... moreAlready knew that, but it doesn't make a difference for me. They simply never really had a phone I actually _wanted_ to have, especially after doing some in-store testing (like the Z2 when it was new -> specs sounded good on paper -> went to test it out in a store -> didn't care for it, bought another phone). I was even prepared to overlook the design for the specs.

                        Some phones (like the Motorola Nexus 6, which I absolutely loved and still miss it) made me immediately order them after some in-store testing, but not a single Sony could create that level of desire. We all just don't like the same things, simple as that. :-)

                          Surficial, 20 Sep 2017Also the test on z3 and z5 was before 200 nits standardised... moreYes indeed, I remember when GSMarena reviewed the x compact, they said the new standard 200 nits is actually higher than the nits level used in previous Sony compact smartphones tests.
                          "Not quite in video playback, where the X Compact posts virtually the same (already good) result as the regular X. The Xperia Z5 Compact could last a good 3 hours longer while playing videos. It's worth keeping in mind, however, that the Z5 Compact was tested before we adopted the standardized 200-nit brightness, and it was instead set at 50% of maximum, which meant 106 nits in its particular case"

                          http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_x_compact-review-1495p3.php

                          In my opinion it will get higher score than the z5c but lower than the z3c, and overall, this comparison is useless, because every thing in this regard has changed, except for the x compact.

                            I'm hesitant to buy if there is no front camera auto focus similar to other flagship phones.
