Sony Xperia X Compact goes official: familiar design, not too shabby internals

Let's take a look at the  specs of the phone real quick:

Sony Xperia X Compact specs
Display	4.6-inch 720 x 1280 LCD display, Gorilla Glass 4
Processor	Qualcomm Snapdragon 650
Graphics	Adreno 510 GPU
RAM	3GB
Storage	32GB, microSD card slot

Battery	2,700mAh, Quick Charge 3.0
Dimensions	129 x 65 x 8.5mm, 135 g

So, we can find the hexa-core Snapdragon 650 inside the first mini phone in Sony's new X lineup. Although it's not as potent as the SD820, this chipset will definitely cut through daily tasks like a hot knife through butter.

Alas, it wouldn't allow for 4K video recording. Speaking of the camera, it's similar to what the larger XZ new flagship boasts - a 1/2.3" Exmor RS sensor paired with a 24mm wide lens and hybrid autofocus.

The phone's putting a lot of emphasis on audio - apart from the dual front speakers, the device also sports Sony's in-house LDAC, as well as digital noise cancelling and Sony's S-Force Front Surround, which basically emulates 3D sound from a stereo source. Neat-o.

The device will be available in three different color options - Mist Blue, Universe Black, and White.

As far as price and availability are concerned, the only sure thing is that the phone will begin shipping on September 25. Pricing will vary with markets, though we are not a 100% sure that the device will arrive in the USA.
