No water-resistance certificate, No 4К video recording, Slightly thicker profile of 9.5 mm
When we are talking about Android smartphones, it is difficult to find models with screen size less than 5 inches as the 5.5-inch diagonal is growing ever more popular. We believe that there certainly is a group of users who still prefer more compact devi...

very good build quality, good performance, long battery runtimes in practice, USB Type-C, decent speakers, good camera, bright display, storage expansion via microSD
sensitive glossy surfaces, comparatively thick chassis, only USB 2.0, slower than the previous models in some scenarios, no IP certification (water, dust) anymore, no 4K video recordings
After the review of the new Xperia X Compact, we are a little disappointed that there are no more compact and high-end Android phones. If you want to have the fastest components, you will now have to get a larger device or have a look at the competition f...

Sony's Xperia X Compact has a bright, beautiful display that's easily viewable outdoors on a sunny day. The phone's 11-hour battery life impresses, and its compact size makes it easy to hold and use with one hand.Still, $500 is a lot to pay for a phone wh...

Great size, Long-lasting battery, Dependable camera, Sharp, colourful screen
Not an evolution, Scratchy plastic
