Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact review

25 September 2017
The Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is a rare breed - it's small on the outside, but big on the inside. Packed with all the latest hardware and having only a small screen to power, Sony’s latest super-mini may very well be the performance champion to beat. But whenever there is a superhero, there is a villain lurking in the shadows. So yes, the Compact has its own battle to fight that’s not all about size or speed.

      I don't understand how 720p and no HDR is a "main shortcoming". Is a 4.6 inches screen, you don't want to see shiny full HD movies or whatever on it, is a compact phone for endurance, there's no need for a huge resolution.
