Sony Xperia Z Compact: Mini flagship done right

Today at CES, Sony announced a smaller version of their current flagship, the Sony Xperia Z1 in the name of Sony Xperia Z Compact. Unlike the other mini versions of other brands, The Sony Xperia Z Compact doesn’t compromise its performance. Yep, the Sony Xperia Z Compact still used a Snapdragon 800 processor along with that 2 GB RAM on its 4.3” 720p display. Just like its bigger brother, it is still waterproof and it still have that gorgeous 20.7 Megapixel Camera which was used in the Sony Xperia Z1. So yeah, the only main difference was the resolution of the display. Check out the full specifications after the break.

Sony just showed the other manufacturers how to make a mini version of a flagship. Actually, I think the Sony Xperia Z Compact could have a better performance on benchmarks and games because its bigger brother, the Sony Xperia Z1 has a 1080p display compared to the 720p of the Xperia Z Compact. So what does that mean? Well, 1080p displays need more power when rendering 3D objects than the 720p display. No word regarding price and availability in the Philippines.
