Unveiled at this year's 2014 CES, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is building upon the previous Xperia Z model that the Japanese tech company unveiled at last year's CES.
Waterproof, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact has a 4.3-inch 720P screen, Snapdragon 800 and 20 megapixel camera. Available in a range of colors, Xperia Z1 Compact manages to be virtually identical to its bigger Z1 predecessor but in a smaller and more manageable design.
The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact runs on Google's Android operating software and has a sleek and modern design that fits comfortably in one hand and ensuring that there is not too much bulk when you place the phone in your pocket. So if you were of the earlier Xperia Z1 but thought it was just a little too big, the Xperia Z1 Compact might be what you're looking for.
