Two cameras are placed on the back of the phone, and they are arranged vertically in a slender pill-shaped module together with the LED flash. Apart from the camera and the Sony logo, there is nothing else on the back.

The fingerprint recognition module of the Xperia Compact in 2021 is not placed under the display, but on the side, integrated into the power button. In addition to the volume button and the power button, there is an extra button on the right side of the phone. We guess that this is either a dedicated Google Assistant button or a similar shutter button on the Xperia 5 II.

The 2021 Xperia Compact has an advantage over Apple’s small size iPhone, which is the 3.5mm audio jack on the top. There is a USB-C port at the bottom, speaker grilles on both sides, and microphone holes on the other side.
