Sony Xperia X Compact goes official: familiar design, not too shabby internals


Let's take a look at the specs of the phone real quick:
Sony Xperia X Compact specs | |
Display | 4.6-inch 720 x 1280 LCD display, Gorilla Glass 4 |
Processor | Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 |
Graphics | Adreno 510 GPU |
RAM | 3GB |
Storage | 32GB, microSD card slot |
Rear camera | 23MP, 1/2.3" Exmor RS sensor, 24mm wide-angle lens |
Front camera | 5MP, 22mm wide-angle lens |
Battery | 2,700mAh, Quick Charge 3.0 |
Dimensions | 129 x 65 x 8.5mm, 135 g |
USB connectivity | USB Type-C |
OS | Android Marshmallow |

Alas, it wouldn't allow for 4K video recording. Speaking of the camera, it's similar to what the larger XZ new flagship boasts - a 1/2.3" Exmor RS sensor paired with a 24mm wide lens and hybrid autofocus.
The phone's putting a lot of emphasis on audio - apart from the dual front speakers, the device also sports Sony's in-house LDAC, as well as digital noise cancelling and Sony's S-Force Front Surround, which basically emulates 3D sound from a stereo source. Neat-o.
The device will be available in three different color options - Mist Blue, Universe Black, and White.
As far as price and availability are concerned, the only sure thing is that the phone will begin shipping on September 25. Pricing will vary with markets, though we are not a 100% sure that the device will arrive in the USA.
