Sony Xperia X Compact is water and dust resistant in Japan, also comes in pink
Sony's Xperia X
Compact has been unveiled for NTT Docomo today, Japan's largest carrier. And
unlike the international model, this one features IP68 certified water and dust
resistance, just like the bigger (and more powerful) Xperia XZ.
Interestingly, the
Japanese Xperia X Compact has the exact same dimensions and weight as the
international model, despite the water and dust proofing.
This decision by Sony to only have a water
resistant X Compact model in its home market is certainly baffling, but clearly
part of a bigger trend for this company. Let's not forget that its last few
flagships are being sold in the US with the fingerprint scanners disabled,
unlike what's happening everywhere else.
To add insult to injury, the Xperia X Compact
is being offered by NTT Docomo in an additional color, namely pink. Needless to
say, this hasn't so far been on the menu in other territories, where the phone
is only available in black, white, or blue. Hopefully the pink model will be
introduced elsewhere too.
