See, previously Sony released such sub-5.0" phones alongside their main flagships, but those boasted mostly the same hardware specs as their larger peers, making them potent alternatives for people who like smaller-sized phone more. Like the Xperia Z1 Compact and Z3 Compact, for example. The Z5 Compact also employed the same formula, but it had a few issues that really pulled it back.
So, is the new X Compact a worthy successor to Sony's compact previous devices or not? We are about to find that by comparing it with the Z5 Compact and the excellent albeit dated Xperia Z3 Compact.
