    Brilliant move by Sony especially in choosing not to call it a "mini". And the reviewer is right, when any phone has that moniker many a consumer tend to think it has less than the flagships. And I think 4.3 inches is actually quite a good size.

      AnonD-214929, 09 Jan 2014Samsung already have mini versions since s3 time )) so samsung mad3 it first ))Sony made the first mini, neo, and active.
      First on water proof flagship, first in making compact flagship. And helds the most compact and least bezel flagship called xperia ZL. Optimus gj and s4 active imitate Sony's lead. LG and Samsung are patent trolls. So, just be thankful that Sony is not as greed as Apple.

          Higher price, lower display quality & uninteresting wallpaper. That are the reasons in my opinion.

I'm sure Samsung and LG are now scrambling to make a compact version of their own. Imitate and wrap in a cheap plastic.

              too bad they stuck to this water proofness gimmick instead of doing what 99% of people prefer: smaller bezels...

                        This is a good lesson for Samsung as they release "mini" versions of their high-end devices... Follow Sony and keep all the aspects of the high-end device but encase it in a more compact shell...Unless that's not what the "mini" phones are about...?

                            The article says Lime and Yellow in the colors, but only shows Lime. Is there a Yellow version or not?

                              Now sony made a compact version, LG and samsung will surely do the same and call it innovation.

                                  I want compact smartphone with almost NO bezel. This should already a perfect one but that huge useless bezel turned me down, such a waste of possible screen estate.

The XZ Compact is a "mini", or rather say "compact", of TODAY'S standards. NOT 3 years ago.

                                        Well, i've got a news for you: ips is a technology (amongst others such as va and tn) used to produce tft lcds.. thus ips lcds are just a subset of tft lcds, not something different.
