Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is a successor model launched after Sony Z1. The screen is shrunk from 5 inches to 4.3 inches, but the hardware is not shrunk too much. It only reduces the screen resolution from 1080P to 720P, thus becoming the smallest flagship model.

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact uses a 4.3-inch 720P IPS screen. Sony still has a 20 megapixel 1/2.3-inch G lens, Xiaolong 800 processor, 2G RAM and 16 ROM on this small body. The configuration is quite good. This time we got a very beautiful rose red version. The long lost 4.3 inch mobile phone grip is really touching.

Sony logo is on the top center, receiver is on the top, 2 million front camera is on the right, and sensor is on the left.

The earpiece also serves as a prompt light. Charging and unread information will be displayed here.

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is still designed as a virtual key without a touch key, but it is designed to balance up and down, so the chin will be longer.

At the top is a 3.5 mm headphone connector.

The metal frame plane of Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is designed with a bright surface, while the bevel has a frosting effect, which is antiskid, and can really add more touch.

On the right, there is a power key and volume key of Sony Xperia bloodline, and a very short and small camera shutter key at the bottom.

The shutter key is really too small. It feels very ordinary and hard. It's uncomfortable to press it.

On the left side, USB interface, TF card slot, the center is the metal contact of the docking station, and the bottom is the location of the SIM card.

There is also a card holder in the card slot. Before inserting the card into the SIM card, remember to pull out the card holder and insert it.

The bottom is a mesh speaker, and there is a cell phone hanging hole on the right.

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact adopts a double-sided symmetrical design, with a whole piece of plexiglass on the back.

With a 20 megapixel G lens, the G logo is proudly displayed beside the lens, and the LED fill light is beside the camera.

NFC is designed near the center of the phone, with the Sony logo below.

There is also an Xperia logo at the bottom.

4.3 "is still very comfortable to hold on the hand, which can be easily mastered by one hand.

It can also easily touch the diagonal screen edge, and there is no pressure for single hand operation.

However, as you can see, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is relatively thick, with a thickness of 9.5mm.

Although Sony Xperia Z1 Compact uses IPS materials, the screen is not transparent enough. Seen from the top and bottom directions, it is grayed out seriously. Moreover, the brightness of the screen is relatively low, and the viewing effect in the sun is relatively poor.

Seen from the left and right sides, the effect was very good.

However, due to the above shooting in the light box and the low brightness of Z1 Compact, its performance is also affected. In the real scene, or when the light is not too strong, the viewing angle is very good. Unlike its predecessor Z1, the viewing angle cannot be seen at all.

After taking it home, Xiao Bian easily upgraded official 4.4. The system was smoother, the design of the drop-down bar was more reasonable, and the animation of sliding unlocking was also changed from a shutter to a star.

This is the end of the picture appreciation. Other tests will be updated in the future. Please pay attention.
