Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is a smaller design of Sony’s 2013 flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z1, but with the same advanced display technology as the 2014 flagship, the Z2. It features the same processor and the same 20.7 megapixels camera, but comes with a smaller display (4.3-inch). Sony Xperia Z1 Compact also features LTE and offers the same water and dust resistance capability of the Z1.
A smaller Xperia Z1
The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is indeed a smaller Z1. Sony really made a lot of effort to make the smartphone as close as possible to the Z1, unlike Samsung’s approach of relating phones with very little in common.
Sony Xperia Z1 Compact comes with the same 2.2GHz quad-core processor with 2GB RAM, which will make it as good as the Z1 in terms of performance. The 20.7 megapixels camera was also retained. The only major difference besides the size difference is that the Xperia Z1 Compact features a 4.3-inch display which is smaller than the 5.0-inch display of the Z1.
Pricing & Availability
Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is currently available in some countries but is yet to make to Nigeria. We expect Sony Xperia Z1 Compact price in Nigeria to range from N76,000 to N95,000 at launch.
