Sony Xperia Z4 Compact - User Reviews

  • Cancel only for global, this phone is only for JDM, the sad news is the spec same as Z3 compact, it is using the same Snap 801, 2GB ram, 21MP on Manual Mode only, and NO 4K Video just FHD The good news is this phone is not using 810

  • Where is the picture of the phone? There are some you can find on Google Images so I have no idea what GSMArena are doing.

  • This phone got cancelled and none where released my advice is to wait till the S10 comes out or go for the sony Xperia z5 compact

  • my battery barely lasts 2 hours..I'm really disappointed after having spent so much money buying this phone...the worst part is the battery is inbuilt & I cant easily get a replacement esp here im Malawi

  • Calling this compact yet it has the same screen size as the iPhone 8? That, says a lot.

  • I have moto e4 duel sim and i want to exchange with Z4...is that good decision????

  • mine just switches on and off i do not understand

  • I think actually this smartphone was only released on Japan-only, like the Xperia Z2 Compact (Xperia A2). Dubbed as Xperia A4 or Xperia Z4 Compact, this phone was released Japan-only

  • these phones many are faked,I have z4 but with different specification,has 4:4:2 android ,its both camera is very blurred.heating is another problem

  • Please those sony phones alway heat? I think u people need 2 check your device, an the screen of the phones when it crack it wont work again why?

  • i have xperia z4 nd its simply the best......except its heating problem

  • Is Sony Experia Z4 fake?

  • I HV it but I really want to know that is what most people say that it is fake true or false???

  • Fake indeed specially the camera

  • what is the internal memory for a z4 ?

  • Ihave seen one wit 8gb internal memory is it original

  • Yes its fake it has only two storages 16 and 32

  • I have seen one with an internal Storage space of 8gb... isn't it fake

  • Is it a water proof one like z3

  • My MAIN WORRY IS WHY DID THEY LAUNCH IT IN 2015 AND BY THE END OF YEAR IS DISCONTINUED....? I have seen one that is has 8gb internal memory I wonder if its a fake since they only produced with 16/32 internal memory

  • How do you get this customs data. Very interesting. Can we get customs data for other phones and stuff?

  • Indian Customs data shows that around 7800 units of these have arrived in India (over the last 2 weeks) at a declared price of INR 15,256 or (USD 229/EUR 205), list prices will be higher. The model number is E5663IN and colour variants appear to be Black, White and Gold. This uses a Mediatek MT 6795 processor.

  • When is it going to be out in the USA?! Which carrier will have it????????????????? cant wait! I'm switch to whichever service has this phone.

  • dunno about the detail but. does this phone really exist? can't find it in sony's website. plus specs are higher than the SXZ5 compact? seriously?

  • When this phone, comes out in Europe?

  • the sony xperia z4 is good but if its comes with front LED flashing system thats much better

  • open your eyes , SD card slot , support up to 128 GB

  • Dual sim please , silver colour please

  • no magnetic port? no SD card slot? no point!

  • a mobile with 10 cms long with dual sim is comfortable to carry. bigger phones are very irritating to handle. so plz manufacture with 10 cms length and dual sim will find good market. Besides they must have all the great features

  • Make the Camera Picture Quality the same or better than Apple Iphone 6 and Samsung galaxy S6.

  • Plz come up with 4.5inch phone. The bigger they are the more irritating to handle. And see that there is qualcom 810 is rectified

  • Maybe they might fix the 810 by putting a gel on top of it like they did in the OnePlus 2.

  • 3000 mhz in 4.7 inch, expecting great battery life

  • WTF !!!!! snapdragon 810 ? its the worest processor ever qualcom made a big mistake in it ya they had been producing beast processors but snap dragon 810 was a mistake didnt expect from sony to use it in their mobile they should have used 820 820 is a beast

  • how much do you think this phone will be? i think i like it. lol

  • It gets boiling hot if you use any powerful applications i.e the 4K filming feature or sometimes even the standard camera for any lengh of time. Build quality if poor, the back is made of glass so the whole thing shatters not just the front screen if you drop it (asif smartphones wernt fragile enough) It's pretty simple to use however due to the heat it crashes quite often and some apps refuse to open

  • need to save now :D LOL

  • Hi there! Is it the small (compact) one you are talking abaut?

  • is this phone coming in Algeria, i'm waiting for it so bad

  • So, is this phone coming out or what.

  • Sony xperia z4compact Best phone 2015 phone Selfi phone 📱 f cemara selfi 13mp Main cemara 21mp Display 4.6"or 4.7" Betty 3000 mh Android 5.1 Change pin z3+Taip reque

  • Finally a fast phone that is not a phablet... But I must say, the specifications (except the CPU high battery usage and the camera) remind me of my 2 years old HTC One...

  • Why sony mobile doesn't have a all languages like I phones.

  • Its launched in Japan.

  • Due to heating problem of chipset 810 in the xperia z4 compact, the release of Z4 is under deep water now. After correction the model is expected to be released during September, 2015. Thank you...

  • I hope z4 compact have a dual-sim version,, and have the thickness of the z3+ (6.9 mm).

  • how's this phone look like? I'll buy if It have Z2 design (smaller, of course)

  • Best song phone

  • If they had gotten Verizon in on the Z3 Compact, there would be five of them at my house right now. Maybe Z4 Compact will be the ticket? Sigh. Tired of waiting.

  • When does z4c release??????

  • Yes, I agree, 135x66x7, is the ideal measurement.

  • This is the Last Hope for a compact Android flagship, as OEMs tend to manufacture flagships in phablet size. I miss those flagships with ideal size like the HTC One M7, Galaxy S 3, the first Optimus G, the Nexus 4, too bad these old flagships from 3 years ago do not have anymore capable hardware to meet in todays standards =(

  • It isn't the question of external speakers but by making waterproof ,the z series Sony phones have a feeble sound.To overcome, the voices should be 68db and ring-necked have at least 78db.Thank you.

  • This is the perfect perfect compact phone. which I wanted from a year. spec is the best. 4.7 1080x1920 FHD 469 ppi 20.7 with Glens back camera 5 front camera 32 GB INTERNAL 3 GB RAM SD Memory CARD SLOT UPTO 128 Battery 3000 MAh the best spec .. waiting for this product. .. Please launch asasp I want to purchase. desperately waiting

  • if it comes with dual sim facility definitely it will became the better replacement for samsung mobiles which are comes with always dual sim facility otherwise it wont

  • I think that the z4 compact should have something aroung the size of 135 mm long... Just saying cause they are usually in the 140 and 120mm range...

  • You know that you can't put FHD screen on a 4.7 inch display and get 332 ppi , you will get 469 ppi

  • Hey,sorry but our sony xperia z4 compact will have these specs : dual core 5 mhz snapdragon 1 processor , 3 mb ram ddr -1 , 0.3 mp camera and 480p video , 500 mAh battery , 2 cm for 30 seconds waterproof. And the price will be 10.000 $

  • why don't you design your own phone and call firdaus9903 z4 compact

  • Sony must talk with consumers and reporters and stop keeping quiet because people are going to lose interest. They should give us tips and clues till the day their phones are announced. Keeping quiet about the rumors won't help them make money at all. How do you think apple managed to get high iphone 6 sales on the launch date? Because they kept giving the public clues and got them interested. Not difficult to challange the competition.

  • If you are playing music from your phone without external speakers, you do not, in fact, appreciate "really good sound".

  • The spec as shown in the gsmarena is o.k. but to make it best seller in India it must have Boom sounds stereo speakers as most of the Indians like very good sound..

  • If it becomes available it will surely be the best smartphone.. I promise!

  • Xperia Z4 compact must have' boom sounds stereo speakers ' which will beat HTC mobiles and will be best seller... Thanks.

  • My spec guess is: - 4.7in 720p IPS screen cause FHD affect battery life - 3100mah battery (or more) with 3 day battery life - IR Blaster and IR learning code like on the LG G2, G3, G4 and some HTC Flagship Phone (HTC M series and HTC Butterfly series) - Same size as Z3 Compact (or smaller) - 25mp camera (or more) with 3-axis OIS and Tiple-Tone LED Flash - 5mp selfie cam with LED flash - Better waterproofing (10m deep) and can be used in saltwater and chlorinated water (as many swimmingpool use chlorine in their water) cause z3 series can't be use in saltwater and chlorinated water - from 8.0 - 9.0mm thick - Available in Dual SIM variant (can use 4G on both SIM simultanously) I wont usb port on the top right of the phone cause easy to use phone while charging. Sim card and memory card are hot swappable.

  • please sony make the z4 compact with the above spec. and also make it as close to the size of the z3 compact as possible. so smaller bezels than the z3 compact. amplified quality speakers to sound better than the samsung galaxy edge and the iphone 6. camera must have phase detection pixel focus and a 1.8 aperture lense. Just make it better than every phone out there. please i know you can do it. Also sapphire crystal glass. make it really expensive and it'll be the best selling phone ever. The phone to beat all phones.

  • hey sony! we need clear information whether z4c will be exist

  • Z4C is not existent.

  • Sony Japan just announced it's A4. Spec: 128x66x9.1, 129g, 4.6", 720x1280 display, quad core 2.5GHz, 2600mAh battery, 2gb ram 16gb rom, 2070 mp camera and 220 mp front camera Bye bye z4 compact -_-

  • i wish you can add a xenon flash to z series

  • long time we are waiting sony to do silver color device from z series

  • Huh? The Samsung S5 mini also has a fingerprint sensor AND a microSD slot. So, SONY can do this, too! There's always space enough... by the way, I don't really need such a sensor, it's only a feature nice to have... bigger flash (64/128gb internal) would be more interesting.

  • I think because there no internal space for fingerprint sensor. if Sony add fingerprint sensor, it means no has microsd slot

  • Why don't they give 128GB internal memory....

  • Right,,, and if the above spec's are true with S810,.. it will be a mess.

  • With the snapdragon 810 and its overheating problem and the selfcracking glass issues on the z3 compact, I hope this won't be another mess by Sony.

  • Aye,aye, SIR! Sincerely, Sony

  • Fingerprint scanner must also be there!! Hope sony makes this phone better coz the normal Z4 just sucks when compared to S6.

  • IR blaster, slim design, 5MP front camera or more, 20mp camera isn't neccesary for rear, 2900mah battery or more, double tap to wake/sleep, remove usb flap, 1080p screen, better stereo speakers, fluid and fast, camera button pleease. The auto supeior mode also needs to be improved in daylight conditions coz a lot of people are complaining.

  • 'as Sony has not only bumped up the screen diagonal to 4.6 inches, but also squeezed it into the same footprint as the Z1 Compact.' from s3c review I would guess they have again kept the footprint the same so the phone has never got bigger.

  • You are totally right. Snapdragon 808 would be a better choice than 810. The performance would still be great(because z4c will have 1080p screen) but the price will be kept low. And as a bonus there will be no heating and performance issues because sd 808 is more stable than 810

  • Very upsetting, the compact series ought to be compact! 4.7 screen is more suited for the name 'a big fat mess' not impressed!

  • Use wireless magnetic charger bro, so no need to touch the battery flap cover.

  • There should be a led flash in the front side for taking selfie at night....

  • I want to bay this

  • Much better, not heating and low price, Sony Xperia Z4 compact need to contained Snapdragon 808 chipset, only z5 and z5 compact let contained snapdragon 820

  • hope they made it in dual-sim version.

  • I would LOVE to see this Phone with these Specs and Gorilla Glass 4 . Also properly governing the 810 Chip so it runs cool and gets long Battery Life. No need to break a sweat on a 4.7" screen - great size . Power Speakers - yes. Camera MUST be as good as or near or better than S6- not easy. Exmor IMX 240 in S6 is larger than proposed IMX230 proposed for Z4 Z4 Compact. Whichever is better- and lower noise! SONY needs to carefully look at S6 and their own IMX 240 in that Device as one to beat. I HOPE SONY really gets this right and is even better , more rugged and better QC than Z3C.

  • cos no one wants them? Cos Samsungs have just been hacked to leak your fingerprints to hackers? Cos they're a waste of space and money?

  • 4.8" hd or fhd 3300 mA li polymer 3300 mA li polymer 3300 mA li polymer 3300 mA li polymer full power battery >>>>>>> thickness and weight 3 gig ram 13 mega in auto state and 20 mega camera

  • I love my Z3C, but I don't like the enclosed charging port coz the flip wears out with time hence water protection is not guaranteed, I would upgrade to Z4C if the naked charging port prove to be, also am hoping the WiFi drop issue with Z3C will be address well on Z4C.. ( sometimes I wonder if sony does even take the time to read customers opinions)

  • why not fingerprint sensor?

  • If this Z4C improved Z3C in audio quality and volumen, best angle views for the screen and go to 4,7 or 4,8 with full HD...and please: The same photo quality like Z3...then would sustitute my z3c and I would forget the siren song of s6

  • I hope,it will be same size as z3C with metal frame bezel and the same hardware specification as the Xperia Z4.

  • Yes bro. 132g It's great. I hope 64GB and great color options too.

  • The z3c weighs 129g with a 2600mah battery and 4.6 inch screen, how could the z4c weighs 125g. I expect about 132-135g which is still nice and light.

  • I hope it will be the same size! ;)

  • If more mAh, it can be more weight. I think bro, :-)

  • Why lower the battery from 3000? Do like the dual flash they should also make it two tone and fix the cold blue look with the camera.

  • 4.7 display 1080p 332ppi 2690mAh 2 day battery life 32 GB 4 GB RAM 20.7mp and 5mp cam 125g weight and 7.3mm thickness Dual LED flash Dual sim for default model If will, A Great success for Xperia

  • And hopefully the 4k video recording heating issues will be dealt with before release.

  • Its not too late to make some changes Sony. Change the screen to 720p with 326ppi save more battery (won't be able to tell the difference anyway unless you use your phone under a microscope), use tegra x1 chipset, super amoled, gorilla glass 4, it'll be nice if you include a digital tv without a long antenna.

  • Am hoping Sony this time will sort out the WiFi drop issue with the Xperia Z3 Compact,, it's promising to be a good phone though just miner improvement like on battery capacity.

  • Unless they come up with with good price point

  • Sony Z4 compact and Z4 Ultra is the biggest nightmare on the rotten apple :)

  • 90 % of the customers prefer less 5 inch,fot example 4.6 or 4.7 this is the perfect masure ;)

  • it will be have silver colour :)

  • NO :)

  • No

  • is it available in dual sim ??????????

  • I would appreciate a USB Type C port, rather than the old Micro USB v2 port.

  • I would appreciate if it have: - dual nanoSIM - IR port (possible to use as TV remote control) - magnetic 3.5 port (but have no idea of impact to compass)

  • anyone know if its going to have finger print?

  • WELL DONE SONY...at last any company which give good configuration in Ideal size(4.0" to 4.7")..I really hate Godzilla size phones(5.0" and above)..I really want to buy this one....

  • Sony please release this phone with the bigger Sony Z4. Hope they release it early in April or else they won't be making any money.

  • Will not be Z4 compact...There will Change compact name to Z4 Note... SONY XPERIA Z4 and SONY XPERIA Z4 NOTE

  • No one saw you and the Millennium Competitor is

  • Hopefully they'll offer a teal color option like they did with the Z3 Compact. Otherwise, I'll be going for the Z3C.

  • if you wont 5 inch buy z4 not the compact lol

  • z4 compact must have a aluminum frame to make it premium in feeling z4 compact should have a snapdragon 810 on board z4 compact must be a 4.7" to make it really compact z4 compact must have a optical image stabilization z4 compact must have a louder stereo speakers (water resistant protection makes stereo speakers muffled, its nice to downgrade its ip rating since STEREO SOUND QUALITY IS HEAVIER THAN WATERPROOFING) and sony must really work on software department to really optimize the hard ware of its products

  • xz4 Compact should have a 720p (340ppi like the z1 compact screen) to really optimize the 3000mah battery and sony should work hard on software department because that's really the key for customers i would like sony to decrease its ip rating since some users are not really submerging their phones in to the tub. by this . the stereo speakers can get its full potential or make another z4compact variant that is not a water proof but has a stereo speakers and for me 4.7inch is well suited for its name "COMPACT" its not any more compact if its 5inches

  • i hope they will make silver color nice device waiting for it please sony i like silver color

  • im just waiting this great and 4.7 inch phone but when???

  • Dammit! Why not 5''? This phone is almost perfect! Im ok with 1080p, 720p would be better tough... performance/battery wise would insane! But why not 5'???! Damn it!

  • the best phone ever ..sony is making .. im just waiting for this product ... 47inch 1080x1920 full hd 3GB ram , 32 internal GB , 3000MAH battery life ... 20.7 back camera , 5 front camere .. its was my dream specifications ..which sony is making.. waow soo happy

  • I don't approve FHD screen if it compromises battery life. I'd rather have HD with better battery life.

  • Sony must also make smart new software features like they are doing with hardware. Software is what us customers are gonna be busy with 99% of the time.

  • What does Phone size have to do with RAM? Screen "resolution" is more reasonable. A GPU runs better on 720p than 1080p or even 4K and higher. If screen size made a difference, no one would buy them seeing how their GPU would choke under the pressure of "32 INCHES".

  • Why do you even need 4 GB RAM while the screen is smaller than the regular Z4? I also dunno why is it rumored that the screen is 4.7, I hope that if this is true, they sacrifice the bezel not the whole mobile size.

  • I hope sony is looking at these forums about the Z4 because some really nice ideas are being posted here that could help Sony. I suggest Sony make the Z4 and Z4 compact waterproof without usb flap. Many people complain about that - they should also put the usb port deep in so it prevents the charger connecter from bending. I also suggest they make the phone the same size as Z3 Compact but with better screen and higher pixel camera.

  • no they are not if you view the specs

  • The Z3/Z4 are a bit larger, but still within the "compact" range by being 4.7" or less. This size is more comfortable in my opinion than 4.3". Better specs. Better water resistance/proof rating. Better battery. Stereo speakers. 4K video support. The list goes on.

  • Because the phones are smaller(~5") and much easier to one-hand. Akin to Apple's phones pre-iphone 5.

  • Why to buy z3 compact or z4 compact? They are 99% same like z1 compact.

  • No! It is absolutely necessary! The one great thing about the xperia z3 was they cut no specs! Perfect! Hopefully it is a flagship like its bigger bro

  • The Z4 will have 4G ram but the the Z4 Compact will maybe just come with 3GB. Its not necessary to have 4GB on both phones.

  • source?

  • Sony please release this phone at MWC next week!

  • Dude, just buy the z3 compact, it's kind of the same thing, I have it and it's awesome, best cellphone I've ever had, way better than my iPhone 5s.

  • This is my favorite Now I like Sony because it look like a Niche & Unique product. I don't want to use a product that is used by many people. that's why i use a Sony Vaio. people around me a lot to ask. Where did you get it?

  • lol the z4c was leaked as "3gb" not "4gb" thank you...

  • Memory must be 4 GB... It's Z4 for God's Sake!

  • We need 32gb internal storage as standard please Sony!

  • 1080p is not necessary but it only drains battery, 720p is perfect for a 4.7", the size I am really looking for a phone, not these abnormally large LG G3, Note4, Phone 6+...

  • stupid thats why its 4gb ram because better performance

  • lol that can't happen... do you want the z4 compact to be an exact version to the leader of its flagship the z4?? lol there must be some things in the favor of z4 atleast the 4gb of ram...

  • Waiting for you since January. I don't have any phone right now. Don't know how much longer I can wait. Please come quick? :'(

  • I hope so. They aren't releasing the Z4 series in March which is dissapointing but they gonna head for a release later on in the year. I don't think its gonna help them coz everyone is gonna get the Galaxy S6 and forget about Z3.

  • I'm a Sony fan long time.Not die hard and someone who run down other brands!I have a GS5 gr8 phone.Battery screen!Would never try it in water like a did with ma xperia v.More trust Sony with certain stuff!The Xperia Z4 will be.......The Sony You Remember!!!Sony gotta go all on on everything.I as a fan demand it.Camera should be DSLR or better quality,screen should crazy all round,battery well should only get better,size and weight should be just right,design always amaze,great software features,be blazing fast.Some of what I want to see in Sony Xperia Z4 series!The Xperia Z4,Z4Compact,Z4 Tablet & Z4 Ultra.This is when you gonna see Kando (wow) in Sony Xperias 2015 and beyond!!!Every OEM gonna be gr8,but Sony gonna rule again:)

  • hope to be a dual sim

  • My spec guess is: - 4.7in Full HD screen - 3000mah battery (or more) - Snapdragon 810 - Same size as Z3 Compact - 21 or 27mp camera (rumored) - Better waterproofing (100m deep rumored) -from 8.0 - 8.3mm thick I think the usb port is gonna be placed on the top left without a flap. The micro usb port and micro Sd card can be under the same flap if possible to make the sim card and memory card hot swappable. The volume and power button must be raised just a bit higher. I hope it looks like the phone in the pic of the Z4.

  • My expectation as follows 4.7" full Hd screen, 130mm as it can be into the hand, sd card port & charging port don't be same as z3c. While charging it is opened and some one can steal. If 128gb big lose. 70% screen to body ratio if morethan 400 pixel then mah need more than 3200. Document editor plese, 1080 pixel disply and configaration same to z4

  • Akio Morita would be proud to see the spirit of Sony today.

  • Sony Xperia Z4 Compact need to be, with this basic specs: 1.Display.- 4.7"inches FHD - IPS-NEO - CGG 4 - 470~ppi 2.Memory.- 4 GB RAM ( LPDDR 4 ) 3.Chipset.- Snapdragon 810 Sensors need to be same like xperia z4

  • Does anyone have any idea if it'll come along with the z4 or will it release later?

  • z3 compact raped the iphone 6 now... wonder what z4 compact would do

  • I also love these three spec and i also gone buy this phone

  • could we get corning gorila glass 4 ? Becz my xperia z3c shatter proof glass got crack due to light pressure..

  • Sony Xperia Z4 Compact Processor-Snapdragon 808 Ram-3Gb Display-4.7" (469ppi) Gorillas Glass 4 Super Amoled

  • The sony z4 compact:snapdragon 805. Not 810. Thank you.

  • very nice phone...

  • So true. I'm so gonna get this phone!

  • Wow... Perfect phone... 4.7" with same body size as Z3 is a perfect size.Iphone6 dimesion is shamelessly big where u can fit a 5" S4 which is even smaller.I would not really call this Z4C as compact but a REAL FLAGSHIP. It has a huge advantage of being easy to use one handidly and easily pocketable. The extra size of crazy monster LG G3 or even it's larger sibling Z4 is not an advantage but a pain in using one handidly. 4.7" is not small,not crazily big but a PERFECT SIZE except Iphone6 in a crazily big BODY.

  • Exactly, plus much better Camera, Amplified Speakers, no waterproof flaps, still waterproof... And better Glass- hopefully GG4 all around. If this Compact is $750. or less- take my money and my first Sony- I like the Z3C seemed a little too fragile and now they probably have fixed everything I didn't like- Overkill ? Not really, more like future proof for at,least a year or 2 which is a long time. These Z4 and Z4 C may be Classics for hi performance fans- and yes a serious Pocket Power Android . Exciting !

  • Advantages may be 1) Larger Battery Capacity with quick charge. 2) Slightly larger screen with little or no size increase in body. 3) Higher res screen. 4) Shatterproof glass, not just tempered glass. 5) Water resistant, but no flaps. 6) Amplified speakers, louder clearer. 7) Plane Phase Detect Camera-THIS one may be very different, if it's new sensor, much sharper. 8) High Res screen-hopefully won't affect battery life very much. Other than this and more , like updated visuals and menus ,new software, firmware, it's like a Z1, lol.

  • Android purely doesn't support 3G video calling features as these are fading technology .. in most countries, with LTE taking over everything. Accordingly, OEMs that do customization to avail that provide only a spec-sheet feature .. 90% of the people wouldn't use it .. it's inherently more expensive for the end users as well .. Data services however should be much cheaper now .. and getting cheaper and cheaper as we speak .. why? because the world is kinda saturating already with voice lines (number of lines being sold is declining severely). So, smart telecom companies start targeting the upcoming booming business opportunity; the Data Services. It'll come to your country eventually like it's coming to everywhere (i live in the middle east BTW) .. :)

  • this is what HTC one should of been

  • The heck with native 3G video call.. here in my country Viber is for free!

  • poor image procession issues? You should try Z3 Compact, I think you never try this phone, It has a good camera. You can see the reviews: And you should know, every phone always have pros & cons in term of camera.

  • The Z1C and Z3C have essentially the same dimensions, but the Z3C is actually thinner and houses a bigger screen and a bigger battery. Why are all of you people complaining?! You got bigger everything in a slightly smaller package! There's no telling what the dimensions of the Z4C will be...maybe Sony will make the phone about the same size plus a mm or so on the width or height. A bigger screen and 3000 mAh battery in essentially the same body? Seriously, people...Sony has a lot of wiggle room with those big bezels they started with...

  • If Sony should add IrDa blaster and resolve the poor image procession issues, then their Z lineup will be a bomb

  • Hahaha..we will see. In time, Samsung's Native 3G Video Call will just a old fashioned feature. People will laugh because this..Hahaha.. By the way, Are you not post again regarding cracking issues? hahaha...

  • Native 3G video calls are still very usefull in many many countries, where 1 mb is almost equal to 1 usd. Not everyone lives in Germany or UK or Korea or the US. Data plans are very expensive in the majority of the world and offer only a few mb. Of course not enough for video calls through apps. Plus native 3g video calls are platform/os/app independent with all the benefits this means. I am a Samsung fan, which has 3g native video call on every 3g capable phone they produce and also all my family and most friends. I prefer companies work to cover our needs, not ourselves to lower our needs to adjust companies abilities. If Sony or another one can not offer more than Sammy, let them die.

  • Should be 32 gb internal memory standard for all flagship smart phones

  • very good specs thanks sony for compact phones kodus sony

  • How on earth can a 4.7 inch phone be considered compact unless you have hands like shovels?

  • So.. The higher battery The higher resolution The SNAPDRAGON 810 CPU!!

  • In my country, native 3G Video Call is not popular, not cool, and more expensive too. Internet Video Call is more affordable and fun. nowadays almost everyone around me use Internet Video Call, not 3G Video Call.

  • About Native 3G Video Call, you can use Internet Video Call in 3rd party apps. Many android phones don't have 3G Video Call option. I believe that Google decided that as they are using an Android, they would have large internet bundles, and therefore it would be cheaper to use internet video call, so they haven't been implementing 3G video calling (at least not at any great speed). In my personal opinion, I more enjoy & fun when using Internet Video Call in 3rd party apps.

  • At least, Z4 Compact will be more Compact in term of body size / dimensions compare with Iphone 6 & Galaxy Alpha. In the future, we will see many article or review about Z4 Compact vs Iphone 6s.

  • xperia z1 compact can be called compact. Xperia z3 compact can be called compact. A phone 4.7 inches can be called compact ?????? And what about the native 3G video call. When you are going to put this to your interface SONY ? you had it on Xperia X1 and X2. Samsung has it on all phones. Almost all chinese manufactures also have it. It costs almost nothing. Maybe you will put it after you will close or when chinese companies will buy your smartphones department...

  • Yes, The Sony Xperia Compact Haters will post again regarding cracking issues. They not have different ideas because Sony Xperia Compact is perfect, hahaha..

  • Again 20.7 megapixels IMX 220? And will be able to sharpen? Meizu MX 4 with Sony IMX 220 sensor shoot better photos than the Sony mobiles. It is a shame !!!

  • Sooner or later, The Sony Xperia Compact Hater will post again regarding cracking issues.. believe me..

  • it's an overkill .. in the display resolution for this size, the octa core, the 3K battery .. ! if the compact lost the beauty it reach in Z3C (size, and weight; well, it should've been a bit smaller though) .. it's going to lose the tag .. Compact .. I have a Z1C .. i didn't consider the upgrade to Z3C (for obvious reasons), and definitely not going to consider this one as well .. to be fair, the only plus is see here is the RAM .. nothing more ..

  • weldone in advance Sony. That is what i've been stating in most of my comments. A compact phone should have the same specification as the original but difference in size ONLY. Hope you'll reduce the bezel & include an infrared.

  • Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is the best in Compact "True Size" Smartphone version. Bigger is Better? Hahaha...This is a smartphone, not a television. Bigger is Better is just Samsung's marketing word, they can't make a compact size with good performance at the time.

  • This time for upgrade, from Z1 Compact to Z4 Compact

  • This phone will be The best "True Size" Android Smartphone. Sony is the king in this segment.

  • Small + 1080 + snapdragon 810 = my dream phone I am going to buy it for sure

  • It should have 64 bit processor

  • At last...I love the Compact version but this comes with FHD

  • Get a clue Mate!

  • Shit! Again a 16 gb one..

  • Very fine, price should under 300 us doller. Then it will become best seller and select.

  • Sony is in big trouble now sadly. They are going down right now. They could even sell it's mobile division. I hope they will do something! I would like to see a joint-venture with another Japanese company, if they will not going well in the future.

  • World's best mini(compact) smartphone Anyone never beat sony
