Today’s Deal – Sony Xperia X Compact is $349 on Amazon
Today’s deal is on the compact, 4.6″ display Sony Xperia X Compact. The 2016 phone packs a lot of punch and is down to $349 today on Amazon. This is just about half of the cost of the new-for-2017 Xperia XZ Compact and you will still be getting Android Oreo at some point in early 2018.
I reviewed the Xperia X Compact in November of last year and it remains one of my favorite phones of the past year. It’s compact size is great but the overall performance and camera quality is excellent.
The Xperia X Compact is powered by the Snapdragon 650 hexa-core processor. It has four 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 cores & two 1.8 GHz Cortex-A72 cores. The processor is coupled with the Adreno 510 GPU which provides good graphics performance. The X Compact has 3GB of RAM onboard and has 32GB of built-in storage. That storage can be expanded up to an additional 256GB thanks to the Micro SD slot that is built into the SIM tray of the phone. With the smaller screen size, as you would expect, the X Compact is a pretty small device. It measures 129 x 65 x 9.5 mm or 5.08 x 2.56 x 0.37″ in old money. Weight wise it is 136g or 4.76 ounces. The phone is comfortable to hold and very easy to slip into any pocket.
