Sony introduces Xperia Z1 Compact

Sony has introduced the mini version of the Xperia Z1 flagship that packs a smaller display but carries a powerful 20.7 megapixel camera, the Xperia Z1 Compact.

The Xperia Z1 Compact bears everything that makes the Xperia Z1 flagship standout: a premium aluminum body that is dustproof and waterproof, a 20.7 megapixel f/2.0 camera with 1/2.3″ Exmor RS mobile image sensor, 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU, 2GB of RAM, and Android 4.3 Jellybean.

The difference now is that the Compact sports a smaller 4.3-inch HD (1280 x 720) TRILUMINOS display with X-Reality at 342ppi, a smaller battery at 2,300mAh, and a thicker (9.5mm) but lighter (137g) body than the Z1.

The Xperia Z1 Compact comes in four color variants: White, Black, Pink, and Lime, and will launch globally from February 2014. Price is yet to be announced.

It uses IPS not their regular VA-TFT http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z1_compact-review-1028.php

no OIS though, but instead it uses its BIONZ processor

Sony does’nt use ips nor amoled because they have their own display which is triluminos with X-reality display for mobile. Get it?!?!? :@

@shining shimering – kindly read the 2nd page of my link, it uses an IPS panel with triluminous display tech and X-reality is an image processing engine not a type of display. if you have no knowledge with different display panels just buzz off. – P.S. Please check your grammar before posting.

Finally , an Xperia with an iPS display!

They need to ditch their crappy TFT tech., honestly it’s really going nowhere.

Mobile colored phones aren’t very necessary as window cases are usually provided by the manufacturer :)
