[VIDEO] Xperia Z3 Compact hands on review

In the beginning of the year Sony proved to the world, that a flagship smartphone does not need to be comparable in size to a brick to come with top specification. The Z1 Compact is a brilliant smartphone that we can highly recommend until today, but it looks like there is a new player on the market. Sony presented a refreshed model called the Z3 Compact a few weeks ago. Is it going to be as good as the predecessor?

Xperia Z3 Compact features the newest Android 4.4.4 out of the box, Snapdragon 801 2.5 GHz quad core processor, Adreno 330 GPU, 3GB RAM and a 4.6″ HD display packed into almost the same size shell as the Z1 Compact. We also still have the brilliant 20.7 MP Exmor RS rear cam, now capable of recording 4K videos ( 3840×2160 pixels/30p ) and 2.2 MP front cam.

[ VIDEO ] Xperia Z3 Compact Review

In our review we will present to you its beautiful design, show you how it performs in demanding games and test the speaker, battery and the screen. Is Xperia Z3 Compact the best smartphone ever built?

Final Words

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact is the most impressive smartphone from Sony we have laid our hands on thus far. It is difficult to find any of its weaknesses.

If you are wondering whether to buy it and you have the necessary funds, in our opinion it is a solid choice. We have done a comparison review of Z3 Compact and Z1 Compact and the predecessor remains a great choice if you are on a budget.

Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact is already available in India at Flipkart, if you are looking for them. On Amazon International Xperia Z3 is listed for $694 and Xperia Z3 Compact for $533.

Do not forgot to see our recent comparisons w.r.t. Xperia Z3, check below.

[ VIDEO ] Xperia Z3 Compact Milk Test – Screen Responsiveness Checked

Recently we posted Xperia Z3 Knife Sensitivity Test where Fruit Ninja was played with knife and the touch response of the Xperia Z3 screen was working great. Earlier Xperia Z3 was put to Coca Cola and Nutella Chocolate dip test and it passed that too successfully. Now it is the turn of Xperia Z3 Compact in its screen responsiveness test. Just like Xperia Z3; Xperia Z3 Compact is also IP 68 certified so let’s see whether it can withstand milk or not.

Below you will find Xperia Z3 Compact getting dipped inside Milk ( almost curd ). Touch response of phone seemed freaking a bit with milk on it but once cleaned it looked pretty ok, though milk got inside headphone port.

Do not perform below action with your device, it may damage it.

It is nice to see that both Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact passed their screen responsiveness test under very unusual circumstances.

Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact Photos

By looking at below pic you can see whole white colored panel on white Xperia Z3 which if came true will be seen for the first time in a flagship device from Sony. Side bezels are also very less but you can see top and bottom bezels are as usual huge. Hearing speaker and microphone is seen on top, bottom bezels respectively. Signature Omni-Balance design is still there whereas Sony said that they will bring a new design in next flagship model.

Xperia Z3 Compact in Black

In below pic you can see black Xperia Z3 Compact besides Xperia Z3 ( in white ). It seems the same design is adopted in both handsets.

Checking above pics it looks the design is very much similar to Xperia T3 ( launched recently ). We are not expecting any flagship devices from Sony till September ( IFA 2014 event ) and yes H2 2014 flagship device has to come sure as per Sony’s policy of two flagship models per year.

We are expecting Xperia Z3 from Sony but a Z3 Compact will be great if it comes. What do you think guys about Xperia Z3 Compact. Drop your comments below.
