The USB Type-C port is at the bottom, the headphone jack at the top, the microSD slot on the left edge, the camera launcher button on the right edge and the side-mounted fingerprint sensor power button centralised on the right. There are no antenna lines present on the edges of the XZ1 Compact as they are integrated into the top and bottom of the device but everything else remains in the same position as the Xperia XZ1. Like previous Xperia Compact devices, the XZ1 Compact is shorter and fatter than the device it tends to launch with, offering flatter edges over rounded but continuing with the OmniBalance flat-slab look.ĭelivering a very similar look to the X Compact it replaces, the XZ1 Compact is made from glass fibre woven plastic rather than aluminium like the Xperia XZ1, though it still continues with the unibody finish, offering a seamless design with few joins. The Xperia XZ1 retains the IP65/68 water and dust resistance that Sony has long offered on its devices and the Xperia XZ1 comes in four colours comprising: Black, Warm Silver, Moonlit Blue and Venus Pink.ĭespite rumours of a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact follows in the footsteps of its larger, slimmer brother. Sony has included the NFC chip within this flash array so there is no longer an NFC logo in the middle of the rear. The singular lens remains in the top left corner, edged with a silver trim for a more premium look, but the flash module array sees an increase in width compared to the XZ Premium, while also moving more to the middle of the top of the device. The biggest change, aside from the more fluid-looking rear comes in the form of the camera setup on the back.
The side-mounted fingerprint sensor power button continues with the oblong design first seen on the Xperia Z5, and the microSD and SIM slot remains on the left edge, covered by a flap. The large bezels at the top and bottom of the display remain, as does the USB Type-C position at the bottom, the 3.5mm headphone jack at the top and the dedicated camera launcher button on the right-hand edge. Made from a single panel of metal, the Xperia XZ1 has no join at the bottom of its rear while antenna lines have been introduced to the rounded edges for better connectivity. The Xperia XZ1 follows in the footsteps of the Xperia XZs and XZ, but it offers a more seamless and refined finish. Though similar, the two new devices are not identical in design.
