    Next time read it yourself first,
    "Types [of TFT displays]
    3.1 Twisted nematic (TN)
    3.2 In-Plane Switching (IPS)"

    IPS is a panel type, TFT is an addressability matrix and not a panel type.

        Camera is 20.7 MP, Nexus 5 is only 8 MP. Day time photo's are awesome, has some cool photo editing programs installed my most favorite is the one that allows you to take panorama pictures. Night time photo's are pretty good, flash is hit and miss some pictures will give you what I think you refereed to as "flash bleed" but turn the flash off and prepare to be amazed.

          Hello Friends,
          I would upgrade my galaxy s3. Please suggest if sony xperia z1 compact will be a good phone. Or Htc one is better?
          Does the phone screen size matters because I have been using my s3 mostly for browsing and multimedia consumption
          Please help. Thanks in advance.

            I have this phone and would highly recommend it. Most of my friends have Samsung GS4's, have run a Quadrant benchmark on my Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and it beat the Samsung almost by double. The Features I love:

            1) Water proof (30 mins 1 metre)
            2) Battery life (2 days normal usage) even higher on stamina mode (this is a Sony inclusion)
            3) Size 4.3 Inch screen size. When most manufacturer's make a small version of their flagship phone the performance is also smaller, this is not the case here with the Xperia Z1 Compact sharing similar specs to it's bigger brother.
            4) Build quality, the phone just feel's solid, no cheap plastic covers just glass and metal, USB charging covers are well positioned and easy to open.

            If I was to comment on some of the down sides it would be:

            1) Non removable battery (could annoy some people I was ok with it)
            2) Micro SIM (I had to borrow a SIM cutter and trim my standard SIM to size)
            3) Bit of a finger print magnet (I solved this by purchasing a cover)

            These are just minor issues, overall I would give this phone a 90/100. Best android phone I've owned since my Motorola Defy phone a few years ago.

                    IPS and TFT are types of LCD screens.
                    IPS has a better viewing angle than TFT.

                        Hope Sony fix the poor camera quality in low light thru software update very soon. Really disappointing for a premium phone.

                                  Before the release gsmarena mentioned that it is 'TFT capacitive touchscreen' but now i can see it is changed to 'IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen'
                                  please confirm me what screen type does it have exactly?
