Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Review: Big Things Come in Small Packages, Or Do They?

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact: Battery and Miscellenous

For some, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact might feel a bit heavy with its 1mm thicker build compared to the previous Z1, but that's okay as long as Sony offers the device with a potent enough battery of 2300 mAh.

For example, subject the mobile's battery to a lot of gaming, socializing and internet all day long, and you will still have enough juice left to make that all important call at the end of the day.

Also, the Z1 Compact's call quality is pretty excellent. It's apparently so clear that we had ask a couple of people on the other side of the line to stop shouting and talk like a normal person. Even though the person is talking normally. The device uses a second noise cancelling mic to help out in situations where its quite windy or you are caught in traffic.
