Abstract: Sony nailed it. Twice.We call it battery life because it is vital.Without it, e-readers wouldn't be so popular, electric cars wouldn't threaten gas guzzlers, and smartphones would never have taken over as the primary computing device in people's lives. Ba...
Good build, classy looks, Capable daily driver, Impressive battery life, Great pair of cameras
Underwhelming display, Too many preloaded apps, Steep pricing
Sony has launched the Xperia Z3 Compact at a strategic time. With its display size of 4.6-inches, it's already being hailed as an “iPhone 6 killer” thanks to its similar proportions. Since the new iPhone hasn't been launched in India yet, we can't really...
Small yet powerful with full flagship specs. Great 20.7MP camera, lovely display, water resistant
Not available direct from US carriers so you'll have to buy it full retail
Say hello to my little friend: I really love the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact and I don't want to give it back. It fits in any pocket, is easy to use one-handed, has a lovely screen, a top notch camera and it's fast. That's a combo you don't see often anymore. ...

The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact packs a larger screen than its predecessor in the same size body, it has tonnes of power, it's completely waterproof allowing for underwater photography and it has a good camera
The screen size has increased, but not the resolution, resulting in a less sharp image overall than its predecessor and many of its rivals. Although the camera takes good shots, its resolution is throttled in automatic mode and the white balance isn't per
Although it's a disappointment Sony hasn't increased the screen resolution along with its size, and the camera's quirks are rather odd, the Xperia Z3 Compact's improved design, vast amounts of power, decent battery life and waterproof body help it mainta...
Stylish design: tempered glass, captivating translucent sides, lively colors, Fast, smooth performance, Good camera, Waterproof with IP68 rating, Very good call quality, Excellent digital video stabilization
Display is not accurate and is noticeably bluish, Camera interface is cluttered, Speakers sound a bit muffled
The Xperia Z3 Compact takes the successful formula of the Z1 Compact and makes it better in practically every way: the glass panel contributes to a more premium feel, colors are livelier, and the handset is thinner, lighter and water-proof; it keeps the s...
The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact isn't just the best mini phone we've played with this year, it's one of the very best smartphones that money can buy. Packing premium features and specs into a comfortable-to-fondle frame, the Z3 Compact offers an excellent user...
Abstract: "We take the cameras of the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact on a test drive" Sony's smartphones have been winning the megapixel wars for a while now. The 20.7MP primary camera that made its debut with on the Xperia Z1 also filtered down to the Xperia Z1 Compact. F...
The Xperia Z3 Compact can't quite match the very best smartphones we've seen over the past year when it comes to all-round performance, but then it doesn't need to. Why? First, if you want flagship performance and features in a smaller package, it's curr...
Abstract: The 720 x 1,280-pixel resolution may sound underwhelming compared to the 1080p flagships, but the display's modest physical dimensions mean you won't notice the drop in pixels. Images are sharp and bright, and the screen makes the most of its real estate ...
