In modern times, Sony Mobile is king of the compact smartphone market. Nobody really makes flagship-tier Android smartphones that are smaller than 5 inches anymore. Sony dominated because their compact devices were only smaller than their full-sized count...

Sony's latest line of Xperia X smartphones finally gave birth to a compact device called the Xperia X Compact — no surprises there. However, this is not like the previous Z Compact phones wherein they squeezed flagship specs in a smaller package. Instead...

The Sony Xperia X Compact isn't a bad phone, but it's one I find very difficult to endorse. Chiefly that's due to the handset putting the squeeze on all smartphones in the mid-range to high-end space: the OnePlus 3.At £329, but with comparable performance...

The best smartphones of 2016 are generally huge. The 5.5in screen size of phones such as the iPhone 7 Plus or the OnePlus 3 are becoming the norm, where just a few years ago, we thought the 3.5in iPhone 4 was huge. Times change, but Sony has been keeping...

The Sony Xperia X Compact is an odd little smartphone. On the one hand its build quality, lack of waterproofing and lack of a standout feature make it harder to recommend compared to the older Xperia Z5 Compact. However, if you want a sub-5in Android smar...
