Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Review

Score: 74.6 / 100

Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is a brilliantly built device launched back in 2017, counting with a high performance Octa-Core CPU ticking at 2.45 gigahertz, a 4.6 inches screen, and 2 cameras, a 19 MP back camera and an 8 mega-pixels front side camera.

Sony equipped the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact with a high-tech Octa-Core CPU speeding at 2450 megahertz, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 MSM8998 chip and a large 4 GB of RAM memory. A good point of the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is its 32 GB large internal memory and a slot for SD memory cards, which allows the user to install hundreds of apps and even the largest games currently available without even thinking about filling it.

About its materials, this device is mainly built with Aluminum . It seems like Sony didn't care about the weight in this 5.04 oz phone. The Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is sold in a variety of colors like black, blue, pink and silver. The Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is a very compact device, taking into consideration it presents a 4.6" display and it has just 5.08" long. This phone is thin and stilized, being just 0.37" thick.

Sony designed the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact with an absolutely amazing 4.6-inches display, and a 720 x 1280 (HD) resolution, providing this device with a unique graphical experience.

This phone has two cameras, a 19 mega-pixels back camera and an 8 megapixels front side camera. the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact's back camera lens has a maximum 2 aperture so it can shoot awesome pictures even in poorly lit environments. It also shoots videos in 3840x2160 (4K) at 30 fps, and slow motion videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 960 frames per second (32 times slower than reality).

The Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact packs a 2700 mAh great Li - Ion non-removable battery that can keep this phone running for several hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it at all. An issue to take into account is that this cellphone's battery is non-replaceable so you can't change it when it starts to live shorter, while having 2700 mAh you will probably discard this phone before it happens.

This cellphone features wifi capability (and it can be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE-A 4G ultra fast internet connection and also HSPA+ connection type (which is a bit slower 4G type) and 3G fast data connection, over HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This device works with a Nano SIM card for GSM connection.

This device also includes a great numbre of cool characteristics such as Fingerprint Identification, NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

Sony offers this cellphone for 600 dollars, which is not a good offer for a phone this level. No matter if you need a phone to mainly use social networks, want this phone to take tons of pictures, need a work phone or want a gaming device, you will probably be very happy with this cellphone.
