18:9 Sony Xperia Compact certified by the FCC

31 January 2018
The phone sports a 5" screen, but is only as wide as the Xperia XZ1 Compact.

Sort by:

It is nice a 5inch screen but same size as XZ1 compact, I really don't know why the trolls should giving negative comments.

        134 mm is a bit too much. It's a whole cm taller than Compacts.
        18:9 5'' is 113.6 mm × 56.8 mm, meaning top and bottom bezels are giant - 1 cm each and 4 mm for edge bezels. Which is still a lot. It's not a bezeless device. It's just a taller Compact. That's it. Still with all that giant bezels.

          Slowny is late to the race as usual and they're not bringing anything new to the table in terms of innovations and are blatantly copying the competition.

            Well, if people are practical, yes, but I read enough comments to know this trend could be more than just a trend. But I agree 16:9 is the best aspect ratio for any display.

              If Sony can interpret that well this could be a game changer for them in resurrecting their sinking sales. Correct ergonomics, nice contemporary styling, upto date works and performance and great Camera experiece are on most buyers preferences. Dont be shy to imitate, copy or borrow the ingredients of a perfect recipe. I hope Sony people can understand English also besides Japanese to make sense of this. Horses for courses in different body sizes as demand be, is sure to put them back.

                        Your logic is flawed. These specs suggest a 16:9 screen. If it was indeed 18:9 then it would have huge bezels, like the old one since it would have same width screen on a same width phone... Im guessing this will be something like a smaller xa2 design

                                  Why no 16:9 bezel-less phones? Height is a bigger problem for pocketability than width.

                                      It would be nice if they keep the box shape and add the 18:9 aspect ratio. That would be my perfect phone.

                                        All phones are merging into looking the same, and also being difficult to distinguish from the front.

                                        Horses for courses, as they say.
