It is expected to feature a 4.5-inch 720p HD display, 1.4 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor with 1 GB RAM and 16 GB storage which will be expandable using micro SD card.

Even Sony has tried the small but powerful formula with the Xperia Z1 Compact but that is a high-end device on its own right with a Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor and 2 GB RAM alongwith a 20.7 MP camera. Nevertheless, in a world of phablets there is still space for a 4.5-inch device.
