Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact

The number of smartphones with less than 5-inch screen from popular smartphone makers are very limited and the Sony Xperia Compact series falls in this limited category. The Sony Xperia Compact lineup is soon expected to unveil a new phone titled as the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact. For those of you who are interested to buy a smaller phone and want to know more about this upcoming phone including the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Dubai price and specs, keep reading.

4.6-inch IPS LCD Display

Sony could’ve easily increased the screen size of the phone by going for a near bezel-less display without changing the actual size of the phone. Unlike most of the other popular smartphone makers, Sony is planning to stick to the similar square shaped design we have been seeing for the last few years with the same 4.6-inch screen. However, there is a change in resolution this time as the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact will be showing 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution this time with 479ppi of pixel density. The display will be protected by scratch-resistant glass and will be packing Triluminos display and X-Reality Engine. There is the iPhone SE and iPhone 7 if you are interested to check out some more phones under 5-inches. These are also in the same price range as the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Dubai price.

19-Megapixel Rear Camera

There are some changes in both the front and rear camera. The rear camera is now a 19-megapixel one and includes EIS (gyro) and is capable of capturing 2160p videos at 30fps. The front camera got a big boost and is now a 13-megapixel one. Right out of the box, the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact will be running the latest operating system which is Android 8.0. There is a microSD card slot in the phone but the built-in storage is limited to 64GB and that’s the only option to look out for after the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact release date UAE. For those of you who are looking for a camera focused phone, there is the OnePlus 3T and Google Pixel you can check out. These are already available so no need to wait for the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact release date UAE.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 Processor

Things are looking great inside for a Compact phone. The Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact will be packing the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core processor just like the normal Sony Xperia XZ1. This processor will be paired with 4GB of RAM which means multitasking should be smooth with this phone. The battery size of this phone is quite disappointing considering the specs, a 2800mAh battery. Thankfully, this battery can be charged quickly as the phone comes with Quick Charge 3.0 technology. Like most of the phones from Sony, this one is IP68 certified which ensures dust and water resistance.

Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Dubai Price

The Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact will be available for AED 2400 . It’s quite expensive for a compact phone but almost all the specs of the bigger version are included in this one. The Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact release date UAE is still a mystery at this point but we can guess that it will be here sometimes after September, 2017 like the Sony Xperia X Compact or Sony Xperia Z5 Compact.

• Improved rear and front camera
• Quick Charge 3.0 for fast charging
