Images show small high-end Sony Xperia smartphone
Images have surfaced online of what would be the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact, a small high-end smartphone from the Japanese manufacturer. The images show a relatively thick housing and the same camera as the large Xperia XZ1.
German telecom journalist Roland Quandt has the images online set. They show a smartphone with presumably a plastic housing, because the phone does not shine like glass normally does. In addition, no antenna lines are visible, which often indicate a metal housing.
The dimensions of the device appear to be almost the same as those of last year’s Xperia X Compact and the Z5 Compact of 2015. The new Compact phone is rumored to have a 4.6″ screen, which is the same size as the screen of. Both previous phones. The soc would be a Snapdragon 835 from Qualcomm, the latest high-end processor from the American processor maker.
Sony invariably made compact versions of its high-end phones, but deviated from that last year with the Xperia X Compact, which had less powerful hardware on board than was common for high-end models at the time.
