After a long wait, Sony finally made its Xperia X Compact official debut with Xperia XZ at the lately accomplished IFA (Internationale Funkausstellung, which was held in Berlin in the month of August).
It is notable that IFA saw the launch and release of many flagships, with the Xperia X being one of them. Sony made the release of Xerpia XZ official stating that the flagship will be made released globally sometime in October 2016. As for Xperia X Compact, it was stated that it would be made available in the month of September.
Living up to the word, Sony has made its release in the selected European markets. Retailers have started taking the pre-orders under contract options. It is known that Carphone Warehouse in the U.K. has even started selling the X Compact for £360 (nearly $479.30/€425/Rs. 31,914).
The Release Of X Compact In India
So far there is no word about the release of Sony's Xperia X Compact in India. However, sources reveal that Sony will soon make an official announcement sometime in the month of September or early October. It is primarily because Sony's earlier flagships, the Xerpia X and Xerpia Z5 Premium failed in winning over the users in the Indian smartphone market owing to the hefty price tag.
We all know that the Sony Xperia X Compact is a watered down version of Xperia X, and is targeted to please the mid range bracket. That is why; X Compact will have a reasonable price upon its India release so that the company can secure more buyers.
