Hmmm... It's not bad but it's not what would I expect having experienced Moto X front speakers.

Based on what I hear from the videos, I think it is the weakest of most phones with stereo speakers in terms of volume and loudness. I am using a Z5C so I think it should be similar. I think the clarity is not a problem though.

I hope unlike the last time, the telcos carry it. $648 I believe is lower than the launch price of Z5C.

One of the most comprehensive reviews of the X Compact.

"Great camera"?

That's ridiculous. I don't know why reviews in English don't talk more about how Sony still hasn't fixed their "watercolor effect" problems. The Taiwanese sites have lots of ppl blasting Sony for crippling the camera yet again.

Although the official release is stated as 15 oct

For preorders will be able to collect from Oct 8 for the compact... Saw it stated in the staffs folder when placing a order

X Compact is midrange specs while Z5C is flagship specs. Sony would be truly delusional if they dared to price XC at Z5C launch price

yup but this is secret stuff

publicially the staff will say its Oct 15 but will call if available earlier

only saw it when they were looking thru their folders at the cashier for the preorder and it was written on the page for X compact that collection date is 8 Oct... ofcoz this is not meant to be seen by customers

To those who are wondering about the lack of IP Rating for X Compact, here's an interesting video of the water or rather Pepsi proofing test:

I love the compact white.. Look absolutely gorgeous and durable too, even though its plastic. The length is shorter as well, easy for guys who put in front pocket.. Rear cam is same quality as xz.. Only need to get used to the smaller 4.6inch screen..

I wil be buying it due to the camera (much improved compared to xa)... New manual cam settings too, now u can adjust shutter speed etc..

The actual phone actually does not look as thick as the photos/renders appear to be...

 

[bodymasterboy]

just had a look at the demo set at sony nex.... supposed to be dual sim but no idea if it supports 3g on the second sim slot

and the thickness of the phone does seem to me a bit on the high side (129 x 65 x 9.5 mm)

 

[sunnycrowe]

Yes its squarish n thick.. Like some masak toy i can throw around on my desk...

Just test-drove the XC at Wisma. The light weight and camera were impressive. Pre-ordered the black one, though it is a fingerprint magnent
