Forum Created for the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, Source Code Released!

Up until very recently, there haven’t been very many flagship-level small devices. Sure we have the S4 Mini and One Mini, but they’re not quite the same as their full-size counterparts. The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is a very interesting device because it wishes to change this trend.

Packing essentially the same specs as the flagship Xperia Z1, the Z1 Compact brings an extremely high level of performance to the “small” device world, with small being in quotes because it wasn’t all that long ago that a 4.3″ screen was considered gargantuan. Accordingly, we’ve given it a home here on the XDA forums.

In addition to creating a forum for this recently released device, we have good news to share! Sony has released the GPL-required kernel source code for the device, meaning that your favorite aftermarket kernel developers can start cooking up some magic for the device, and true source-built development can begin.

Users looking to get in on the discussion should head over to the newly created Sony Xperia Z1 Compact forum. And if you’re a developer looking to start cooking up some kernel lovin’ for the newly released device, head over to Sony Developer World to get the sauce.
