Surficial, 22 May 2017How can combining the latest 10nm SOC with a small, 720p display possibly give poor battery life. Yeah. It is suppose to be better

This is actually great news for Sony. Here's why.
People now look for a flagship spec phone of 2 sizes, compact eg 4.7-5 roughly and 5.5+
Sony had a headstart in giving flagship specs in compact size and were only rivaled by Apples 4.7inch then they decided to scrap that and lower their specs for the smaller phones, limiting their niche market for premium compact phones. There's a reason Apple still sells their smaller phone, people want it! However they missed a trick by going 5.2, on their bigger edition,should've gone 5.5 and reduced their ridiculous bezels.
Something is telling me that the ZX1 Compact will go with Full HD or Snapdragon 660 since 835 and HD is overkill.
The X1 would be really nice if the side bezels are as slim as the ones on XA1 and if it has some dust/water resistance. If neither is present, then maybe the upcoming moto x would be a better option.
Yann, 22 May 2017From marketing point of view, Sony must change the names of their phones. XA1, XZ1... it is ri... moreI agree with you.
But sony more focusing on PS and sensor than phone.i don't understand why sony don't use OIS and EIS for their phones camera.xperias camera is great but when you zoom you will get blurry pics.All future flagships should have it. Sadly, sony don't use them on their phones and you have a ton of blurry pics when you zoom.
OIS and EIS would make a major improvement.

Score 72 hour
XZ1 compact(preassumed spec)
720p 4.6", sd836 10nm or sd660 14nm, 2800mah battery
Suppose to score much betters
I hope for a version of the XZP with a FHD screen and smaller top and bottom bezels. Then I'll definitely buy a Sony again. In XZ1 we trust!
