Big screens are great and all, but not everyone can wrap their hands around a phablet.
Sony thinks so as they squeezed top specs into a regular sized hero. Sony Xperia Z1 compact promises great things from its 4.3in screen, Snapdragon-powered performance, 20.7MP camera and battery-enhancing Stamina mode. It’s a little fatter 5in Xperia Z1 at 9.5mm but otherwise it’s a faithful imitation. The power button is halfway up the right-hand side, saving seconds spent hunting, and the Compact has the same waterproof rating – IP55 and IP58 – as the Z1, meaning it’s good to go for a rain run or plonking in up to 1m of water for up to half an hour.
