Best smartphone of IFA 2014: PhoneArena Awards
Xperia Z3 Compact, Sony's new 'do-all-stay-small' phone, which combines top-notch specs with compact dimensions, is PhoneArena's choice of best smartphone of IFA 2014.
As you can imagine, almost everyone from our team had a different opinion on this, but in the end, there was a somewhat surprising contestant that managed to get ahead of the others - the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact.
Yep, this time, we aren't going for the "biggest and baddest" phone there was at the show. This time, most of us have decided to vote for the phone that they would actually choose to carry in their pockets, and it turns out that the Xperia Z3 Compact is the device that fits this scenario best for most of us.
The Xperia Z3 Compact is the second generation of what may be considered Sony's "do-all-stay-small" line of Compact smartphones, and we think the manufacturer has done a wonderful job designing the handset and stuffing it with truly valuable features. In the more than reasonable size of 5.01 x 2.56 x 0.34 inches (127.3 x 64.9 x 8.64 mm), Sony has packed a sizable 4.6" display, the powerful Snapdragon 801 AC processor, a 20.7 MP G Lens camera, a juicy 2600 mAh battery, and even IP 68 water and dust resistance. Sounds like one powerful little beastie to us!
