sony-xperia-z1-compact-unboxing-10

Sony launched the Xperia Z1 Compact, as the “mini” variant of its flagship device, the Xperia Z1 sometime back. It was the Z1f(launched in Japan) for the world and was almost immediately heralded as the best compact Android device yet.

In a world of 6 inch phablets, how does the little one fare? Before we let you know that in our review, here is the customary unboxing video –
