Sony Xperia X Compact now available for purchase in the USA

The Sony Xperia X Compact started making its way around the world soon after its IFA announcement, but those of us in the USA had to wait for quite a bit. It was only last week when we saw the new mid-range phone go up for pre-order on Amazon, but today we bring good news to those who don’t like waiting.

The Sony Xperia X Compact is now available for purchase and ready for shipping, marking the phone’s official launch in North America. As we have mentioned before, though, the price is set a little higher than we would like to see it. The device will cost you $499.99, which is only a little cheaper than plenty high-end smartphones.

Hardware includes a 4.6-inch 720p display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 processor, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage, a 23 MP rear shooter, a 5 MP front camera and a 2,700 mAh battery.

Amazon Prime users get free one-day shipping, so you can have the phone waiting at your door step real soon. Who is signing up?
