I'm still using my Z1 Compact. 5 years old this year, but running Android Pie quite nicely. And fits my shirt pocket without sticking out high enough to give me an uppercut. Sony phones didn't always have the best of everything (sometimes didn't have the best of *anything*) in terms of features, but by and large they last.

      This is the succesor of the Xperia A line made for Docomo, isnt the Compact, yisus Christ!

        SONY the King of compact flagships!

          I still have my Z1 compact ... The SIM tray is broken. But works fine as music player.
          It's a fantastic size.

I could live without the 120Hz because hey, I've experienced it before ;-)

                Doesn't have XZ4 specs so its not named XZ4 Compact. Its just overpriced small low-mid spec phone.

                      beautiful as always

                        Isn't this far inferior to their current midrange Xperia 10 Plus?

                          Anonymous, 17 May 2019You know what else changed since 2015? Components got small... more5" can be compact, just look at XZ1c - 130mm height, 4,6" but with huge bezels. Old Xperia ZL had 5" screen with almost the same dimensions (was 5mm wider).

                            And seriously. 5" for a "compact". Skip. Next.

                                  SONY the King of compact flagships!

                                    If this is a M5 revival with a SD chipset and well balanced camera sensors then it will be a must have. My M5 dual is still working! Thank you Sony!

                                      : I'm a HUGE Sony fan but come on now the Snapdragon 630, really ? It's 2 years old and only slightly better then the even older Snapdragon 626 ! Also the price is high for these specs. You can now get the Xperia XZ2 Compact for less and it has way better specs !!!

                                        I really, REALLY hope this doesn't mean that Sony will slowly retreat to its homeland market. I'd love to buy the Ace honestly, looks like it combines the XZ1's with the XZ2/3's design and it looks great.
