GMG rounds up everything you need to know about Sony’s miniaturized Xperia Z1, the phone christened Xperia Z1f. Sony’s Xperia Z1 is a formidable smartphone by most standards and it has a new appeal for those who prefer smaller handsets. Sony has designed a ‘mini’ version of its popular handset and packed it with a host of the same sophisticated features. Also referred to as the Xperia Z1 Mini, the handset is officially named Xperia Z1f.
The Xperia Z1f is powered by a 2300mAh battery and a 2.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 chipset. It offers users 2 GB of RAM along with 16 GB of internal memory. Support for external memory expansion increases the handset’s storage capacity by another 64 GB. The phone runs on Android’s 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system.
Connectivity options on Sony’s latest offering include 4G LTE, 3G, Wi-Fi and NFC. Those who enjoy photography on the go will specially appreciate the Xperia Z1f’s camera. Sony has built its handset with a 20.7-megapixel EXMOR sensor, complete with its G Lens. Those who are on the lookout for a handset with a smaller display will enjoy the phone’s 4.3-inch TFT LCD screen and its 1280 x 720 pixel HD resolution.
The Xperia Z1f weighs in at 140g and boasts of durability thanks to its water proof features. Glass and aluminum give the phone a superior build quality.
Though Sony has already unveiled the handset in the Japanese market, it has not as yet sent out feelers about the phone’s global release. Since India is an important market for Sony, we expect the handset to release in the subcontinent and to do so sooner than later.
There is no word out about the pricing of the Xperia Z1f either, but given its specs and features, is likely to compete with the Mini versions of other flagship smartphones in the market including the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and the HTC One Mini. Keeping its competition in mind, the Xperia Z1f is likely to be priced around the Rs. 35,000 mark.
We will be on the lookout for more information about Sony’s small and powerful offering. Stay tuned.
