The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is a younger sibling of the Xperia Z1 boasting the same SoC and camera in a smaller form factor
The ports and slots are covered by slots for protection against water and dust
The 3.5mm audio jack is at the top and is water proof
The bottom has a large speaker grill although the volume levels are quite low
The 20.7MP camera at the back is one of the best cameras we have seen on a smartphone
Sony has used the same omni-balance design which comprises of front and back glass panels with a metal frame in the middle. The design does look attractive but the glass back gets scratched easily and is really slippery
