Hands-on review: IFA 2015: Sony Xperia Z5 Compact

The Sony Xperia Compact range has always been something that never gets the recognition it deserves. Sony is the only brand that doesn’t compromise on the power of the smaller phone in its range, keeping up the same premium experience it offers on the ‘normal’ flagship phone.

There are some obvious differences here: the materials used, the size and resolution of the screen (4.6-inch 720p – very similar to the iPhone 6) and the RAM and onboard memory on offer (only 2GB /16GB, compared to the 3GB and 32GB of the Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Premium), which does slightly diminish the effect somewhat.

The only real issue I can see here is the 16GB of storage – that’s going to run out a little too quickly given the amount of large apps on the market right now, and given the Xperia Z5 Compact has the high-end 810 chipset built in, there’s every reason why users would want to use the phone to the fullest extent.
