Compact is back: Here are leaked renders of the Sony Xperia XZ4 Compact
June 01, 2025
Trusted leaker@OnLeaksjust pushed out some new renders of the Sony Xperia XZ4 Compact (viaXDA Developers). It was only a little over a week ago that we saw leaked renders — also from @OnLeaks — for the vanillaSony Xperia XZ4.
Sony’s “compact” variants of its flagship smartphones are notably smaller and less-fully featured than the main line. While this might seem like a peculiar strategy (and the opposite of what most brands do), in a market where pretty much every flagship phone is enormous, there are certainly plenty of folks out there who are clamoring for a phone that’s just a bit smaller.
Both theSony Xperia XZ1and theXZ2had Compact models, but for some reason theSony Xperia XZ3did not. Sony, apparently, is pulling back on that decision to eliminate the Compact variant, because…well, here we are.
Check out the images and 360-degree video of the Sony Xperia XZ4 Compact below:
The renders don’t give us any ideas about specs for the Xperia XZ4 Compact, but we can tell a little bit about it. For example, there’s a single camera sensor on the rear, which the main XZ4 isn’t likely to have (it likely has three sensors). There also doesn’t appear to be a rear fingerprint sensor, which likely means the XZ4 Compact has a side-mounted sensor, just like we assume the XZ4 will have.
What do you think? Are you a smartphone buyer looking for small(ish) phones? Are you glad the Compact line is coming back? Let us know in the comments!
