Alleged Sony Xperia Z3 Compact press photos show up, four color versions revealed

Ladies and gents, here we have what are - reportedly - the very first press photos showing Sony’s unannounced Xperia Z3 Compact - a smartphone that’s expected to be officially showcased on September 3, alongside the Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet.

Published by Australian website Ausdroid, the photos reveal four color versions of the handset: black, white, red, and mint. Sadly, the images don’t show the Xperia Z3 Compact’s front, but at least we can take a peek at its back and sides. The device seems to look pretty cool, though it’s not too different from the Xperia Z1 Compact.

As mentioned several times before, the Xperia Z3 Compact supposedly sports a 4.5-inch, or 4.6-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels, hence being significantly smaller than the Xperia Z3 (which will have a 5.2-inch 1080p display). That aside, the Compact should have the same internals as the larger Z3, including a quad-core 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 processor, and a 20.7 MP rear camera. Needless to say, both handsets will be waterproof.

What do you think, can the Xperia Z3 Compact be a dream come true for users who don’t want a high-end smartphone that’s larger than 5-inches? Let us know in the comments!
