The Sony Xperia XZ4 Compact has leaked out in a new set of renders. These showcase a much bulkier design than previously seen which is paired with Sony's trademark thick bezels. The smartphone will most likely be powered by the Snapdragon 855.

I'm glad that the Compact line isn't dead.

Sony is stupid, they seriously are giving us a choice between either a very very very tall and narrow phone that is significantly taller than the already way too tall note 9, oneplus 6t, iphone xs max etc and with not so thin top and bottom bezel and the other choice is a tiny narrow 18:9 5-5.2 inches with big bezels. Sony is high

The last xz premium was way too heavy, sony just cant get it right. I dont hate sony and i would consider buying one of their flagships if they get it right.

It should have had like a 4300mah battery, then the weight would be justified, not the tiny one it had.

I have zero issue with those bezels. People who keep pushing them to get smaller have no idea what they're really asking for.

I spy a headphone jack. Hopefully wireless charging too (:

I only use Sony phones, but everything they came up with after the Z3 was pure garbage. I lost hope that they'll ever come up with anything decent anymore.

You've been using Sony phones and you think that everything after the Z3 is garbage? Then why didn't you stop using them after the Z3?
I think I'll soon stop writing to this section because I think I just chat with kids.

Who said I kept buying them? I had every flagship before the Z3 and I'm still using it. Please no disrespect without thinking.

I didn't think they would put the headphone jack back. Looks like a great compact device.

So called "compact". s9/s10 (or similar rivals) have and will have the same dimensions AND much bigger display. Sony mobile lost it a long time ago.

Sony’s mobile division is clueless.

Totally acceptable design if it had been released 5 years ago... I actually mean it, this looks almost identical to Z3 Compact apart from taller display and side mounted fingerprint scanner lol. It's good that it's got a headphone jack though, it makes me wonder why its much larger sibling can't have one.

I remember the not so distant past where people on these boards would line up to defend the "necessity" of big bezels. Thankfully the masses have figured it out and are demanding the size of their devices be filled with display instead of useless space. We're getting there. And as for Sony and these relics if the past. They'll sell dozens!

Isn't weird? The "L3" looks better and with dual camera.

If Sony actually gets volte on T-Mobile I'll buy another, till then the xz2 is the last I buy.

That's not a bad phone to end on!

At least it got rid of the back bulge?

This can't be legit. It would be a huge step back in design from the XZ2 compact. This looks like a worse version of the Z3 compact.

No matter how many times you ask Sony to reduce their bezels, they still manage to make it huge.

Doubt this is the Compact high end, even xz2 Compact is looking nicer. Probably the low end one for sure.

Why they don't make a 5.5" phone witha a thiny bezels?? 1mm side bezels and about 4-5mm up and chin. That will be gorgeous
