Sony Xperia Z1 Compact for smaller hands & pockets

Sony has announced the small version of its flagship for a prompt global launch. The Xperia Z1 Compact (the nomenclature is thus even a little easier to understand with us when Z1 f (Japan) or Z1 s(T-Mobile/USA)) is in the UK as well as in this country already pre-order. The retail price is 499 €. Available colors are white, black, pink and yellow. Who has not noticed yet, the features are, in contrast to the "mini-versions" of the competition, the same as in the great Xperia Z1. Only the display resolution and battery capacity has screwed down Sony. 1280 x 720 pixels means 4.3-inch but a completely sufficient pixel density of 342ppi. At the same time, of course, the battery is strained less what 2,300 mAh (700 less than the Z1) moves in the right light. In initial tests with the Japanese version, the Z1 Compact has at least as cut good, if not kept even longer than the "big" competition. The IP55/58-certificate got the smaller model on the way. A minor drawback is there yet: To start the Xperia Z1 Compact yet with the already somewhat shopworn firmware (Android 4.3 Jelly Bean) will be the big brother to the market. However, a KitKat upgrade should follow quickly.
