The Xperia Z2 itself is a monster of a handset, from the specs – including a 2.3GHzprocessor, 20.7-megapixel snapper capable of recording 4K video, and stereo speakerswith noise cancelling tech – to the actual size, with a stonking great 5.2-inch screen. Imagine if it were smaller, though?

That could well be about to happen, according to a Sony brochure spotted by The Droid Guy, which shows off the more compact Sony Xperia in all its glory. And it could be the phone plenty of us have been waiting for; let’s face it, not everybody wants a handset like the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Mega – a phone so large you’ll need a rucksack to drag it around in (almost)!

There’s currently no word on pricing, availability or other specs, but we’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more.
And in the meantime, we’d love to know what you think; should smaller handsets be paired back and more affordable, or do you want to see all the same features crammed in, opting for a more compact smartphone simply because it fits into your pocket better?
