Does the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact have a plastic back instead of a glass one?

The extremely popular Sony Xperia Z1 Compact shares many of its specs with the full-sized Sony Xperia Z1. But there are differences with the size and resolution of the screen on the two devices. The full-sized Xperia Z1 carries a 5 inch screen with a 1080 x 1920 resolution, while the compact model brings a 4.3 inch panel with resolution of 720 x1280. The battery on the full sized model weighs in at 3000mAh while the Xperia Z1 Compact is powered by a 2300mAh cell.

One reviewer wrote that the phone has "a polished polycarbonate back and Gorilla Glass front." Sony has recently responded to an inquiry about the back panel of the Xperia Z1 Compact by stating clearly that the rear panel of the device is made of glass.

But the Japanese based manufacturer has recently changed the wording of a line in the White Paper from "Both the front and back are made from durable tempered glass," to now read, "The front side of the phone is made from durable tempered glass." Hmm. The White Paper for both the D5503 and M51w ...
