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 Xperia X Compact features the same sexy body of its flagship model — only smaller. It's a bit of a fingerprint magnet unlike the previous series but is fairly tolerable as long as you don't mind wiping the body of the handset every once in a while.It...

Sony is one of the few brands who still believes that great smartphones should also come in small sizes. The last such flagship smartphone to enter the market was the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact that we reviewed a year ago. While there isn't a true successor y...

The Sony Xperia X Compact took me a little by surprise, and sadly not in a good way. You see, for years when people have asked me what “normal-sized” phone they should get, my answer has been simple: “Get a Sony”. While some manufacturers like to adverti...
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...

Until recently, Sony’s smartphone strategy was clear and easy to understand. It would typically release a new flagship every six months, and a compact version would appear once a year, identical in every way except size and screen resolution. With the Son...

With a price that's £70 less than the Xperia Z5 Compact at launch, an improved camera, and even better battery life, the Sony Xperia X Compact is clearly not a bad phone. If you're looking for a pocketable Android smartphone, in fact, it remains pretty mu...
