Follow Xp After eria Z1 Compact, Sony continued to launch the small screen flagship Xperia Z3 Compact. Interestingly, for more than half a year, the small screen flagship still has few models to choose from, which is also an interesting scene. And Xperia Z3 Compact is still the best choice for the small screen flagship with its stronger performance, endurance and more attractive appearance design.
Nine months after Xperia Z1 Compact was launched, Xperia Z3 Compact, also a member of the Xperia Z3 series, is also very powerful in terms of hardware configuration and cameras. In comparison, Xperia Z3 Compact has significantly improved compared with Xperia Z1 Compact, but its memory remains at 2G.
Interestingly, Xperia Z3 Compact keeps its current size, but its body thickness is thinner and its screen size is larger, which makes the screen ratio and visual effect more excellent. In addition, Xperia Z3 Compact also has the strongest protection level of IP65/IP68 smart phones, various features and functions of Xperia Z3 series, and larger battery capacity, which makes Xperia Z3 Compact better than the previous generation of products in terms of use experience.
Appearance design:
As a member of the Xperia Z3 series, Xperia Z3 Compact is also a reduced version of Xperia Z3 in terms of shape design. The difference from the previous generation can also be directly applied to the difference between Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z2. Xperia Z3 Compact uses a 4.6 inch screen, which has significantly improved the screen share compared with the previous generation. The OmniBalance full balance design still used is also necessary.
Same as Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact is still very jumpy in color. In addition to the traditional black and white colors, Xperia Z3 Compact also adds rose red and coral green to complement Xperia Z3.
Same as Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact is equipped with dual speakers and is independent, so the aesthetic degree is different. Interestingly, it may be due to the fuselage structure. The maximum volume of Xperia Z3 Compact seems to be higher than that of Xperia Z3, and there will be no fuselage resonance.
Xperia Z3 Compact also has the consistent waterproof characteristics of Sony, its protection level has reached IP65/IP68, and there are corresponding waterproof covers on various interfaces, and the magnetic charging interface is also equipped. Xperia Z3 Compact places physical keys and connectors on both sides, including power key, volume key and shutter key. The physical keys feel more solid and stable than the previous generation and Xperia Z3.
Like Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact still has a lot to talk about on the border. The frame of Xperia Z3 Compact is made of PC plastic and has gone through four manufacturing processes. In fact, these four processes are to make seamless frames, internal metal paint, and external fog treatment. After this process, the frame has a visual effect, and the round frame design also makes the hand feel good. And this design makes Xperia Z3 Compact free from the corner gaps and border gaps that appear on Xperia Z3.
The top and bottom are earphone holes and lanyard holes respectively.
The back of Xperia Z3 Compact is made of reinforced glass instead of the plastic material of Xperia Z1 Compact, so there are fewer wear marks.
In terms of camera, Xperia Z3 Compact is the same as Xperia Z3. In fact, it uses a 1/2.3 inch 20.7 million pixel sensor, a 25mm wide-angle lens and a G lens. The body thickness of Xperia Z3 Compact is 8.6mm, which is 0.9mm less than the 9.5mm of the previous generation. It is believed that this is also due to the change in thickness of the new camera module.
As the flagship of the small screen, it is easy to handle with one hand. The three dimensions of Xperia Z3 Compact are 124 * 64.9 * 8.5mm. Compared with the previous generation, it is consistent in addition to being thinner, and the screen size has been upgraded from 4.3 inches to 4.6 inches. The area that can be operated by one hand is larger. In addition, the frame design mentioned above also makes the grip more rounded and comfortable.
Screen contrast:
Xperia Z3 Compact is the same as the previous generation. It still applies to a 1280 * 720 resolution screen, but the size has changed from 4.3 inches to 4.6 inches, and the ppi has reached 319.26. Like Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact has added many new technologies and functions to the display screen.
Xperia Z3 Compact uses the high brightness Live Color LED backlight module and Cool White technology to make white more pure, and the factory white balance is more transparent and beautiful than before. There are also Memory on Display technology, X-Reality for mobile, etc.
(In the screen comparison test, Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact and Galaxy Alpha are used for comparison, all of which are of the highest brightness. The Xperia Z3 series use factory white balance and open the X-Reality engine, and the Galaxy Alpha display mode is basic.)
From top to bottom and from left to right are Xperia Z3, Galaxy Alpha and Xperia Z3 Compact. In the contrast of solid colors, the Galaxy Alpha is warmer on the white balance, which makes the color slightly biased. For example, the red color of Galaxy Alpha is orange, and the color is rich. However, Xperia Z3 Compact does not appear slightly white at the highest brightness because its brightness is not as high as that of Xperia Z3.
With the traditional advantage of black, Galaxy Alpha is invincible, but its white display is really warm.
Black and white contrast.
Color transition.
Although Xperia Z3 Compact is the same as Xperia Z3, with the same Cool White and cold color white balance, the actual appearance of Xperia Z3 Compact does not have a relatively strong cold and blue phenomenon of Xperia Z3, and the display effect is more neutral and peaceful.
In terms of visual angle, Xperia Z3 Compact performs well. However, as with Xperia Z3, there is a certain degree of whitening in high brightness under large angle deviation.
Xperia Z3 Compact is the same as Xperia Z3, which uses a higher brightness Live Color LED backlight module. In the actual test, the center brightness of Xperia Z3 Compact reached 574cd/m ², which is the best in the current test except for Xperia Z3 and Lenovo VIBE Z2 Pro.

The common advantage is that the golden camera is easier to use, the white balance and color difference are significantly improved compared with the previous generation, and the noise reduction performance at night is still eye-catching. The disadvantages are still common, such as under exposure and over exposure caused by light metering. Fortunately, the Xperia Z3 Compact on your hand does not redden in the center under the dark light as seen in Xperia Z3.

Performance and endurance:
The hardware configurations of Xperia Z3 Compact and Xperia Z3 are highly consistent, which can be seen in the run test. Since the resolution is reduced from 1920 * 1080 to 1280 * 720, the pressure on the GPU can also be seen to be reduced.
In terms of actual games, Xperia Z3 Compact's high configuration and low resolution make the game experience free of pressure.
After running NB 2K14 for 30 minutes, the maximum temperature of Xperia Z3 Compact is 36.5 ° C, which is quite good. (It may also be a side effect of the recent temperature drop.)
Screen brightness: 50%.
Volume: the volume is turned to 75~80dB.
Game: NBA 2K14 automatically runs for half an hour.
Wi Fi Internet access: microblog Chrome Beta、 Baidu Post Bar takes half an hour.

In the comparison of theoretical endurance, Xperia Z3 Compact with a battery capacity of 2600mAh performs extremely well. After the complete endurance test, the remaining power reaches 71%. Although this achievement is largely due to the small size screen and resolution of Xperia Z3 Compact, the performance of high performance and strong endurance is really impressive.
Summary:
Xperia Z3 Compact is still the symbolic OmniBalance full balance design of Sony Xperia series, and the newly designed frame material and color bring a different flavor to this small screen flagship. Compared with the previous generation of products, Xperia Z3 Compact mainly moves in the direction of increasing the proportion of screens, reducing the thickness and improving the grip feel, which can significantly improve the perception of the use experience.
Xperia Z3 Compact uses the standard processor of Android flagship camp. It's a pity that the RAM is only 2G. The same resolution is used, but the screen size of Xperia Z3 Compact is upgraded to 4.6 inches. At the same time, the size of the body remains the same, the thickness becomes thinner, and the increase of the screen proportion makes the visual effect better. Not to mention the various new technologies and functions on Xperia Z3 Compcat, which make the display effect better.
Compared with Xperia Z1 Compact, which is unique, Xperia Z3 Compact has met a strong rival, namely Samsung Galaxy Alpha, which is also positioned as the flagship of the small screen. It can also be seen from the screen comparison and performance and endurance comparison above that Galaxy Alpha has incomparable performance advantages with Exynos 5430 processor, but it is quite poor in screen and endurance performance. In terms of comprehensive experience in all aspects, Xperia Z3 Compact is still the first choice of the small screen flagship.
(It is a pity that Sony Xperia Z3 Compact will not be listed in mainland China, and the small flagship products such as Xperia Z3 Compact and Galaxy Alpha will not have a large audience at present.)
