Sony has been doing a lot of research on its customers. Then Sony learned that calling a device “mini” suggested it was somehow inferior, so the name Z1 Compact was born. Finally, consumers demanded more and bolder colors, to which Sony has responded with two new hues of lime green and luscious pink. Throw in an important (and overdue) upgrade to an IPS display and the Xperia Z1 Compact becomes the perfect hardware proposition.
