The test with the Xperia Z3 Compact is proof that Sony entered once in the trend of having a top smartphone and a popular version of it. And a few minutes at the booth of Japanese during the IFA Berlin , proved that the Compact fell in love the people: 4.6 inches seem to be the ideal size for all hands (against 5.2 of the bigger brother Xperia Z3 ).
Incidentally, the screen size was a big change from the previous model, the Z2 Compact (or A2): 4.3 to 4.6. But the display also has a weak point, which is the HD (720p) resolution. Now the goal is to let the Z3 Compact cheaper and not "cannibalize" the big one Z3. Therefore, Sony also took the aluminum frame, mark the Z3.
Specifications set aside, the screen is very good. Compared Z3, Compact is saturated and rather does not seem very faithful to colors. But the difference is just in the dark tones. It's as if you really needed a Full HD smartphone all the time.
The footprint is better than the big guy Z3. And that's a fact. You access all menus with a finger, and use it with one hand is not at all strange. The glass front and back, rounded corners, and the finish of first - plus the two good fun colors, green and red, plus black and white - Compact to give a face of tiny top.
He is also (very) waterproof: IP65 and IP68 certifications to make the Z3 can operate at depths of up to 1.5m - again, a milestone in its price range, as there is nothing similar on the market. The downside is that, due to the smaller size, close and seal the compartments microSD and USB became much more difficult. Open then ...
Just like the big guy Z3, the Compact can control the PlayStation pairing with the console and replacing the TV. This is one of the coolest functions.
The cameras are well above average. Are the same 20.3 megapixel rear, 2.2 in front, BIONZ engine, Exmor sensor RS and excellent G Lens. The result can be seen in the photos in low light, too bright and too many colors. The over-saturation, however, appears to be caused by the screen, which is a little short of powerful camera. The G Lenses can not get high all the content of the image, creating a sense of perspective and giving the option to play with scenes. One surprise was the focus inexplicably faster than the Z3. I've tried other countertop appliances, and all were always very fast.
With the smartphone, Sony proves that need not hew hardware to make a cheap device: he lost only 1GB of RAM compared to the Z3 hardware - it's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 running at 2.5GHz, with 2GB of RAM. The battery is slightly less powerful than the Z3 (2600 mAh), but the whole screen / hardware makes this deficit is compensated, and the Z3 Compact promises up to three days without seeing an outlet.
Test the Xperia Z3 Compact and the atmosphere and entertainment software created by Sony ( Walkman , PS4 , photos, videos, music ...), even for a few minutes, do make sure that the unit is strong. By price range (at around 400 euros), endangers even rival the big guy Z3.
