Feels great in the hand, Nice and lightweight, High spec, Great sound quality with speakers or headphones, Waterproof and dustproof, Micro SD slot, Decent camera
The plastic sides detract from the overall high quality feel, Volume and camera button feel a bit naff, Quite a bit of Sony bloat preinstalled, The camera app has far too many built in apps to be of use, The camera is basically the same old camera from th
I've had the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact for a day or so now, so far I really like it. It makes you want to pick it up and just play about with it; using one hand of course. Often with smaller devices the performance is a little lacking. So you just use it for...

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...

Solid build quality, decent enough screen, very powerful processor, waterproof and dust resistant, good camera, good battery life, 4G
Not cheap, screen could be improved upon in terms of sharpness
Sony's Xperia series has distinguished itself with some fine specs but the large, blocky shape of the handsets hasn't been for everyone. The Z3 Compact combines pocket-friendly dimensions with a terrific screen, powerful processor and a very good camera...

Solid, waterproof build, Great battery life, Capable of great photos, Zero compromise on power, Very comfortable to use
Camera app is overly complicated, Not quite as premium as its big brother, Cooler colour balance won't suit all
At first fondle, the Xperia Z3 Compact isn't precisely the zero compromises smartphone Sony says it is - the 720p screen and missing metal frame suggest otherwise. But it sure is close. In fact, on first impressions the Z3 Compact is shaping up to be a ...
The Z3 Compact features almost the same set of specs that the Flagship Z3 carries and for those who didn't buy the Z3 only because of the larger screen size than buying the Z3 Compact would make perfect sense. In our opinion the only con with this device...
Gorgeous and classy look; water and dust proof too, Smooth performance, Superb battery life
Camera could have been a bit better, Unnecessary preloaded apps
The smartphone industry is certainly in a phablet era with most manufacturers aiming towards big screen sized devices. But at this juncture there is no dearth of people who want a rather compact smartphone without sacrificing the fun part. The Sony Xperia...
The Sony Xperia Z3 Compact competes with phones such as the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, the Nexus 6 and the HTC One Mini 2. I would state that the Sony Xperia Z3 works well, but if you want to get real, the Nexus 6 will throw it out of the water. But amongst th...
Abstract: The Xperia Z3 compact is a follow up to the Xperia Z1 compact — a smartphone we loved for breaking the myth that smaller phones usually do not come with high-end features. It has a 8.6mm slim unibody design with a glass back and weighs just 129 grams. How...
Abstract: Small and powerful flagship smartphones are an endangered species, like the California Condor of the mobile world. If you want a top-tier phone that fits in a normal hand, the iPhone 6 is practically your only option in the United States. But you know wh...
