Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Specs: Comes With Latest Android 8 Oreo

Introducing Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact, a smartphone featuring the latest Android 8 Oreo OS version. Not just that, the 4.6 inches display screen smartphone is scratch resistant and has oleophobic coating.

Well, I see the Xperia XZ1 Compact as a camera centric device after noticing an impressive 19-megapixel shooter at the back and 8-megapixel front camera. The phone which is also known as Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Dual with dual-SIM card slots comes with 4GB RAM alongside 32GB ROM.

Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is also dust and water proof; it can stay up to 30 minutes when emersed in a water as deep as 1.5 meters. It is powered by a the powerful Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 processor, it supports fingerprint scanner and many other features which are listed below in the specs sheet. However, one turn off is the battery capacity, I mean, am not too impressed with it.

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY

The Xperia XZ1 Compact is expected to cost about $699 (about N251,000 in the Nigerian Market). It will be available in October this year. For the mean time, see the full specs below.
