Sony could have gone with a much bigger size battery.

    Where do you see big bezels? At least they try to not follow the sheeple nowadays, bored to see in every topic the bezels, its the least thing with colour options what about you need to care.

      The phone is only for Japan and people fighting if other devices are better deal.

        5-inch display - F*CK YEAH!
        Snapdragon 630 - Eh, not bad, as long as the price matches the CPU
        SD card slot - YES!!
        Water&Dust proof - OH HEAVENS YES!
        $444 - what the f*ck, Sony?

        Is it really that much to ask for? A solid spec-ed compact phone for a decent price? It's like manufacturers knew that people are craving for a compact phone so every compact phone they make gets 50% extra on the price tag just for being small.

          Why is this the XZ4 Compact when there wasn't a XZ3 Compact?

                        Where? Did I miss some other article? Or are You calling a 5" (probably 140mm height) SD630 phone a decent spec compact phone? Cause I sure wouldn't call it like that.

                          This is clearly a product catered to japanese audiences only. And, as far as capable compacts go, the XZ2 is still very much a thing.

                            396€ for that processor? Seriously ?

                            You have severall other optioons outhere way heaper than this. That´s why Sony don´t sell anymore. They still think that they compete with the big nanem is smartphone industry, when no one cares anymore for Sony. Man how I miss Ericsson....

                                  'Compact' naming in Sony is flagship. This SD630 equipped with silly high price definitely not what XZ4 Compact suppose to be lol.

                                      Faster Processor
                                      Better Screen
                                      Larger Battery
                                      Excellent Camera
                                      Cheaper
                                      Longer Software support
                                      Cons
                                      Worse Build
                                      No Ip68 rating

                                      I mean looking at their latest phones it's like Sony isn't even trying anymore

                                        finally a worthy compact smartphone with decent spec.. which is great well thats my opinion before i see price tag :v
