+ great camera, there are not many phones that can compete with it,
+ very narrow, easy to hold if you don't have Klitchko sized hands,
+ dual sim AND micro SD at the same time,
+/- Mediatek SOC -> some say it's much worse than Qualcomm SOC, but I haven't seen any comparison of power consumption, performance between these chips,
- small battery, but I am not a heavy user,
- lots of preinstalled software like facebook app (I prefer facebook lite).

Looks like I'm getting this as an upgrade from my M4. Everything is an upgrade (or the same) but damn that video quality is just not good at all (camera makes up for it).

A3 is worse than last years XA in every benchmark, just check A3's review.
While Xa1 is on par with sd625 and also on par with A5 in cpu performance, but weaker in Gpu performance.
A3 is expensive than Xa1, has 2gb RAM, 16gb internal storage and the most dreadful thing............. Larger bezels( less STB ratio).
But A3 has FP scanner and ip68 certification and better battery, whats your choice?

AnonD-235041, 06 May 2017Well considering A3 is just 4.7inch and packs a weaker SOC ... moreA3 has same screen resolution as XA1. The 0.3 inch screen difference is negligible. The 2 nm architecture difference is also negligible. 93 hr vs 72 hr is a significant difference of 30% though.

Aspros, 09 May 2017Yet another big bezel monster, ok I understand that not eve... moreExactly my thoughts. The Z3 compact was amazing. I got one for my girlfriend and she loved it, I thought it was a great phone, and such great specs such compact. These days it feels like Sony did a 180 spin and can't even fit a few low-range components in a large body.

What is wrong with you, Sony? Ive been reading these reviews out of sentiment, but they just make me miss the times of the Z series until the Z3 compact. Such great phones for their times they were.
