Abstract: There's less than 12 hours left in 2014. Hopefully we'll all be sipping on some sparkling in less than that, but in the meantime, here's our pick of 2014's smartphones.Don't forget to have your say - make sure you put your vote in for our reader's choice ...
Abstract: Inside the handset's dust-resistant and waterproof chassis (to IP65 and IP68 standards, respectively) sits a far from slouchy 2.46GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, Adreno 330 GPU and 2GB RAM with 16GB internal memory. Running Android 4.4.4, the Z3 C...

Great size, one-handed operation, First class camera experience performs well, Big phone performance, Battery life
Glass back isn't to everyone's liking, A stack of preloaded, uninstallable apps, Lack of Qi charging in a phone with a covered USB port
This isn't the first Sony phone to bear the “Compact” moniker, and after playing with the Z3 Compact for a while I really hope it's not the last. Sony's delivered flagship-class specs and performance in a smaller size than we've seen in the last few years...

We've griped on a little about the Z3 Compact's faults, but for all of them it's still a great phone. Remembering that it'll run you $100 or more under another flagship, or even almost $200 less than an iPhone, it certainly delivers on your money. It's...
Built very well; Shows that a 4.6 inch phone can indeed be compact; Impressive 4G speeds; Excellent battery life; Solid performance across the board; Can be docked with Sony's magnetic docking system; Supports upgradeable memory by way of a microSD card;
A fair few bugs, including some odd Exchange issues, occasional camera failures, and dictionary problems; Plastic sides; Screen could probably be a little higher resolution; Camera software still seems a little rudimentary;
While it has the odd bug here and there, Sony's Xperia Z3 Compact is a solid smartphone for 2014, and one of the best all year, pushing so much into a small body that it's a hard phone to ignore.Interestingly, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact sends a clear mess...

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...
