In contrast to the Japanese model, the Z1f, the Z1 Compact has a back made of acrylic glass for the global market. With a depth of 9.5 mm, the Xperia Z1 Compact is slightly thicker than the Xperia Z1.
Connectivity

NFC enables the transfer of data, for example by touching two NFC-enabled devices. One of the implementations of NFC are the SmartTags , which z. B. are offered by Sony.

This mini earphone with stereo headset was introduced with the Phablet Sony Xperia Z Ultra .
Modding

A key combination (* # * # 7378423 # * # *) takes you to the service menu, in which you can see the info - configuration, whether the bootloader can be unlocked. More current information about modding can usually be found on XDA-Developers.
Evaluation and criticism
In expert tests such as For example, the magazine Connect or the online portal Chip.de praised the excellent features and workmanship for a compact smartphone, as well as the very good performance thanks to the Snapdragon processor, while the quality of the camera was somewhat criticized for occasional image noise.
In the network, users reported color distortions in flash photos. The German mobile phone portal inside-handy.de tested three different models of the Xperia Z1 Compact and was able to reproduce the error on all devices. Sony initially stated that this would be a user error. On April 7, Sony admitted that an initial batch of devices could have flash irregularities. The number of affected devices should be in the lower four-digit range. According to the latest information from the mobile communications portal, not only the first batch is likely to be affected. The editorial team has pictures of a device with the error from calendar week 17, 2014. In response to a request from inside-handy, Sony announced that devices can be checked by customer service.
The device came under increasing criticism after the update to Android 5.0.2 was released because of inexplicable heat problems and very quickly discharging batteries.
