Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
Sony on Wednesday has launched the mini-variant of its newly introduced Xperia Z3 flagship – the Xperia Z3 Compact.
The single-SIM Sony Xperia Z3 Compact runs the latest Android 4.4.4 KitKat out-of-the-box. It features a 4.6-inch HD (720×1280 pixels) Triluminos display with X-Reality engine. Like most of Sony’s recent top-end smartphone launches, the Xperia Z3 Compact features IP65/IP68 ratings for dust-proof and waterproof certification.
Sony says the Xperia Z3 Compact features a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC with Adreno 330 GPU and 2GB of RAM. It packs a similar 20.7-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and Exmor RS sensor, apart from a 2.2-megapixel front facing camera, just like the Xperia Z3.
