On February 6, it was reported that foreign media recently announced that Sony might restart the small screen Xperia Compact product line this year, launch a new Xperia Compact 5G model (or named Xperia 1 III Compact), and may release it at the same time as the flagship Xperia 1 III.

According to the summary of foreign media reports from phonearena, this new Xperia Compact machine will adopt a water drop screen design, with a relatively square body outline, equipped with a 5.5 inch, FHD+resolution screen, a side capacitive fingerprint scheme, a 3.5mm headphone port, and an overall size of 140 x 68.9 x 8.9mm - slightly larger than the iPhone 12 mini.

It was revealed that the machine will be equipped with Qualcomm's new generation of mid-range 5G SoC Snapdragon 775G (or use 6nm technology, 4+4 core architecture, A77 core frequency 2.4GHz), 13 million pixel dual camera in the rear, and 8 million pixel camera in the front.

However, it seems that small screen mobile phones are not popular in the market today. The latest case is the iPhone 12 mini. A Morgan Stanley report said that Apple has cut 2 million units of the iPhone 12 mini capacity because its sales were less than expected; The report of CIRP, a research organization, shows that during the period from October to November 2020, the sales of iPhone 12 mini in the US market accounted for only 6% of all iPhones on sale, ranking the bottom among the four new models.
