On screen soft-buttons size

I feel a bit of a fool.

My mobile upgrade date came and I've had my eye on the Z1 compact for some time, because it is the same size as my previous model, the Xperia S. I didn't want a Z1 or Z2 as I feel they are too large.

So I went for the Z1 Compact because of its awesome power and the fact that it's the same size as my S. But the phone came today and I'm annoyed - I had no idea that a) the on screen soft buttons at the bottom were that big and b) that they would always be on.

I've been using the phone for some hours now and I feel like I've downgraded my screen size 😞 the difference compared to my Xperia S is very noticeable - despite that they both have 4.3 inch screens.

So my question - can they be made smaller? If not then surely Sony should state that the bottom quarter inch of the screen is useless? I've upgraded my phone and now I have less room. Feels like my Xperia X10 in terms of screen size.

Thanks
