Specs Comparison: Sony Xperia X Compact vs Xperia Z5 Compact

Sony has just announced its newest compact smartphone for their consumers — the Xperia X Compact. It’s the latest Android from the Japanese maker to sport the ‘compact’ name. Let’s compare it to the Xperia Z5 Compact of last year and find out which one is better on paper.

Summary of advantages

Xperia X Compact:

  • Bigger RAM
  • Hi-Fi audio
  • Reversible USB Type-C port

Xperia Z5 Compact:

  • Flagship processor during launch
  • 4K video recording
  • IP68 certified for dust and water resistance
  • Slightly more compact dimensions

As it turns out, the new Xperia Compact handset is not the same as before. It’s not exactly a compact version of the Sony flagship smartphone. Well, it’s an Xperia X Compact phone, so it basically borrows its features from the Xperia X which is not the company’s flagship device.

It has lost quite a number of features like 4K recording and the IP68 certification for water and dust resistance. In return, Sony is giving you an upgrade to 3GB of RAM and new hardware features – you can now enjoy Hi-Fi audio on the go and play around with the reversible USB-C port.

The phone was launched along with the real Sony flagship of the year — the Xperia XZ. We do hope that Sony will release another compact phone that’s based on the XZ. Sony Xperia XZ Compact, anyone?
