Sony Xperia Z3 Compact topped the smartphone sales list in Japan from April 4th through the 10th

GfK is the agency in Japan that publishes a weekly list of top smartphone sellers in the country. With Sony being a home town brand, and with the Japanese having favored the Xperia Compact models from day one, perhaps it should not be a surprise which handset was on top from April 4th through April 10th, the latest time period that this data was available. That would be the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact offered by mobile operator DoCoMo. Unlike "mini" versions of flagship models, the Xperia Z3 Compact keeps most of the same hardware specs including the chipset and camera.

While the full-size Sony Xperia Z3 features a 5.2-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 x 1920, the Z3 Compact offers a 4.6-inch glass with a 720 x 1280 resolution. Both models are powered by the Snapdragon 801 SoC which contains a quad-core 2.5GHz CPU and the Adreno 330 GPU. The regular-sized Xperia Z3 has 3GB of RAM vs. 2GB for the compact variant. Both have the same 20.7MP rear camera, with an aperture of f/2.0, and a front-facing 2.2MP snapper. The Xperia Z3 offers a 3100mAh battery while the compact has a 2600mAh juicer inside.

The 64GB Apple iPhone 6 earned the next three places with models offered by au, SoftBank and DoCoMo holding the second, third and fourth places. Fifth and sixth places belonged to the 16GB iPhone 6 from au and SoftBank, respectively. The Nexus 5 was next followed by the Sony Xperia Z3 from au. DoCoMo's 16GB iPhone 6 was 9th while the 16GB Apple iPhone 5s from SoftBank rounded out the top ten.
