It is loaded with the same Android 4.4.4 (KitKat) and powered by the same 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor. There is however an understandable tradeoff with the RAM with the Z3 Compact offering 2GB compared with 3GB on the top model.
On the outside, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact looks like the top model with tempered Aluminium and glass with rounded sides, just smaller in size and probably more comfortable to hold for some consumers.
