Small phones with flagship specs were rare in 2014, and that's exactly what this one aimed for. Under the 4.6-inch IPS LCD display sits a Snapdragon 801 chipset paired with 2GB RAM, enough to handle the Android 4.4 KitKat software it shipped with (Lollipop update was planned). Storage is 16GB, but the microSD slot takes cards up to 128GB if you need more room for photos and video.
The 20.7MP rear camera stands out most on paper, backed by a 1/2.3-inch sensor and 4K video capture at 30fps, plus HDR and slow-mo up to 720p@120fps. Sony Xperia Z3 Compact price in Malaysia starts from RM1779, and for that you also get IP68 water and dust resistance, useful if you're clumsy near sinks or pools.
At 129g and 8.6mm thick, it's built for one-handed use without skimping on hardware. The 2600 mAh battery is modest by today's standards, but the compact body it's powering is part of the tradeoff. NFC, GPS with GLONASS, and a proper 3.5mm jack round out the connectivity.
