Sony Xperia XZ4 Compact CAD-based renders leak, video too

07 December 2018
After a few XZ4 leaks, it's time to see its smaller sibling for the first time.

    Seeing people comment on the thickness makes me smile a lot! You know, if you make a phone slimmer, you have to make it wider and taller. That is because of the overall phone mass required to fit the components in. I have xz2c and am happy with it. Thickness is absolutely fine as is the overall ratio.

    The only thing I see wrong with this phone is that it for bigger again. This will not be compact any more as some other manufacturers already do similar sizes. If Sony wants to keep the phone compact, do not make the phone taller. Make it thicker to fit pretty good baterry and components.

      It's so stupid to believe in the legitimity of this 3CAD render (made in 5 minutes)...
      It's impossible to sell a such old design nowadays..even if Sony has made some error by the past.

        Wow.... Finally....
        Hopefully Sony will release it in india....

          The L3 has dual camera but not the XZ4C?

          something strange happened here, the leakers probably got confused with the name?

              Bit chunky for a compact... I can understand the bezels but the phone needs to be thinner..

                      This should be XZ3 Compact. Doubt Sony will skip the number.

                                I represent 99.9% of consumers.
                                Ugly design is the main reason why 99.9% of consumers avoid xperia.

                                  Well, I am pleasantly shocked.
                                  Thank you Sony for caring, and going back to your sense.
                                  I just might buy this for my next phone.
                                  Hope the screen is lcd too.

I always wished there was a modernized version of my Z5C with newer CPU, more RAM&storage, better camera and, desing-wise, the same device. And this answers all of my requests, if true. Please stop saying "noone will buy it", instead just say "I won't buy it" then I will respect your opinion

                                        Design looks dated... but alas, it happens to be one of the few compact flagship of late, so it has that going for it. Also if it retains the headphone jack, then that's another selling point.

                                        Overall, it looks decent enough.
