Sony Xperia X Compact Specifications

The Compact series by Sony used to occupy a niche of its own as it combined top-of-the-line specs with a pocketable footprint. The latter is still very much true for the just released Xperia X Compact, but it no longer has the flagship specs that we're used to. Instead, the Xperia X Compact is pretty much what it says on the tin - it's a Xperia X - essentially, an upper-midrange phone - but shrunk in size.
Is this the end of the mini flagship as we know it? Well, while we can't quite rule out another shift in product strategy down the line, for now, this very much seems to be the case.
