As you can already relate from the name, the Sony Xperia X Compact is the smaller of the two siblings and is the latest addition to the company’s Xperia X lineup. To be precise, the Sony Xperia X Compact is a trimmed down version of the flagship Xperia X launched earlier this year. Rather it sports a markedly smaller 4.6 inch display with a resolution of just 1280x720p. While this might appear puny in today’s world but this display size has been a part and parcel of the Xperia Compact lineup for quite some time now, ever since those Xperia Z days. To be honest the Sony Xperia X Compact is no flagship killer neither it is among the snappiest phones available. On the contrary, it is a simple no-nonsense phone for those who are looking for a premium smartphone with a nice design and modest specs. Talking of design, the Xperia X Compact features the characteristic bar shape carved out of matte finished ceramic. It comes in three colours including Stylish White, Mystic Blue and a Universe Black. And in case you are looking to buy one once it hit stores, do have a look at the Blue variant as it looks just wonderful.
Coming to the specs, the Xperia X Compact packs a Snapdragon 650 hexacore chip, 3GB RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. That aside, the smartphone comes with a 23MP rear shooter that again comes equipped with a Laser Autofocus and RGBC-IR sensor. And just in case you were wondering, the RGBC-IR sensor uses dedicated pixels to capture not only just visible light but also Infrared, thereby producing photos with balanced colours. Sony has also incorporated a USB Type-C port and a Fingerprint sensor onto their Xperia X Compact.
While this latest smartphone for Sony may not attract heavy users, but is sure to appeal to a section of the community; especially those who want a compact business-oriented smartphone. Apparently, the Sony Xperia X Compact delves into the territory of the recently launched Apple iPhone 5S. The Japanese OEM, however, hasn’t revealed the pricing of the smartphone yet.
