A camera as intelligent as the human eye
Sharper. Clearer. Brighter. The same quality you’d expect from Sony’s compact digital cameras. And with the Xperia Z1 Compact, we’ve created a camera phone built with the very same components, packaged into a 9.5 mm slim body. It combines a large 1/2.3″, 20.7 MP Exmor RS™ for mobile image sensor, Sony’s award-winning G Lens and the intelligent BIONZ™ for mobile image-processing engine. This unique combination gives you images that are delivered with a superior sharpness, clarity and brightness – always.
Large 1/2.3″, 20.7 MP image sensor
The large 1/2.3” 20.7 MP Exmor RS™ for mobile image sensor enables higher sensitivity and decreases noise to ensure smooth, clear reproduction, reproducing every stunning detail with greater fidelity.

Sony’s intelligent BIONZ™ for mobile image-processing engine employs powerful algorithms for vibrant realism in every shot. By-pixel super resolution, auto exposure and auto white balance render colours captured by the Sony G Lens accurately – creating a balance of brightness while enhancing colours with rich layers of texture and depth.

From illuminated night views to close-up macro photos, Superior Auto recognises up to 36 scene types and adjusts the settings automatically, to help you get the best photos anywhere, at any time.
