Yesterday, Japanese mobile phone maker Sony Mobile made official its next handset in the popular Xperia lineup, none other than the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, a smaller version of its latest flagship, and benchmark results for the device are now available online.

The Android 4.3 Jelly Bean-based smartphone has emerged in all the usual benchmarking applications, including Quadrant, AnTuTu, GFXBench, Vellamo, and Sunspider, and managed to score impressively high in most of them.

Despite the fact that it has only a 4.3-inch 720p screen, the new mobile phone features high-end hardware inside, which allowed it to go toe-to-toe with some of the latest flagship smartphones out there, as PhoneArena notes.

The handset was launched with a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor inside, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal memory. It also features a 20-megapixel camera on the back, front camera for video calling, and the usual set of connectivity features.
