Sony also announced the spiritual successor to its Z Compact series of devices that now goes by the name of X Compact, sporting a 4.6-inch HD display with nearly identical hardware as its XZ bigger sibling.
The water resistance of the X Compact’s predecessor has been ditched in favor of a better hardware — a good hexa-core Snapdragon chip, the same amount of RAM as the XZ, and Cat 4 LTE right out of the box.

Offered in Mist Blue, Universe Black, and White color variants, the Sony Xperia X Compact will roll out starting later this month in key markets. Price has not been announced. More as we get it.
This is a perfect phone for me. 4K video + HiRes Audio are my top priorities in a phone.
SADLY, i’m expecting this to be priced higher than the Iphone SE. I’m already bracing for a price of something like 27K+
wait, no 4k?
Then the Z5 compact is still way better than this.
What’s up with this X “series” phones? Supposedly newer generation and replacement to the Z series but the Z5 phones still kicks the butt of this X phones.
