Small phones are likely to return thanks to Apple’s iPhone 12 Mini, and as it turns out, one of the most popular is also being revived. According to the trusted @OnLeaks, Sony is bringing back the Xperia Compact for 2021.
In a post about Voice, we get a first look at the still unnamed 2021 revival of the Sony Xperia Compact. The design is virtually identical to Sony’s latest collection of Android smartphones, with only a few minor tweaks. For example, compared to the Xperia 5, this device has thinner edges and uses a teardrop-shaped notch for the selfie camera.
But design here is pretty small – the real story is the size. According to this leak, a 2021 version of the Sony Xperia Compact will offer a 5.5-inch screen, only 0.1 inches larger than the iPhone 12 Mini. The total dimensions are also 140 x 68.9 x 8.9 mm. It’s a little bigger than the iPhone across the board, but only by a few millimeters on each dimension. Part of it is the ring, which is a little thicker at the bottom.
The rest of the phone has a headphone jack, a fingerprint sensor on the side, the regular Sony camera button and a dual camera setting on the back, which apparently includes a 13MP primary sensor.
Sony’s last Xperia Compact was the 2018 Xperia XZ2 Compact, which is about the same size. At the moment, it is unclear what specifications this 2021 revival will bring or the prices.
