Sony Xperia X Compact now available for purchase

Sony Xperia X Compact was announced back at IFA 2016 and now, after a brief pre-order period, this handset is finally ready to ship. This 4.6-inch mid-ranger surfaced on Amazon last week, and now those interested can purchase it without having to wait for it to become available.

The Xperia X Compact is quite expensive for its specs and features - Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 SoC, 3 GB of memory, 32 GB internal storage space, but only 1,280X720 pixels in a 4.6-inch display. However, the 5 MP front camera is accompanied by a top-of-the-line 23 MP sensor on the back. For now, it looks like it ships with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, although Nougat has been around for a while.

Amazon provides free one-day shipping to its Prime users, but the $499.99 USD price tag makes the Xperia X Compact quite hard to sell, considering the extremely tough competition in the upper area of the mid-range market.
