While Sony is still busy on
promoting its latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z1 globally, a site has
posted a purported official document revealing the Xperia Z1 mini.
Xperiablog has published some
leaked documents from NTT DoCoMo Japan, revealing the rumored specifications of
the ‘Xperia Z1 f’ with model number SO-02F alongside the Xperia Z1 (SO-01F),
which has already been launched last month at the IFA. The former is believed
to be yet-to-be announced Xperia Z1 mini.
The leaked documents also reveal
specifications of the ‘Xperia Z1 f’ a.k.a. ‘Xperia Z1 mini,’ which supposedly
boast of a quad-core 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, the same as we have seen
on the Xperia Z1. It is said to come with a 4.3-inch display with 720x1280
pixels resolution, 16GB of inbuilt storage, 2GB of RAM, apart from a 2300mAh
battery. The documents reveal dimensions of 127x64.9x9.4mm for the Xperia Z1
mini, and also claim it will come with IP55/IP58 certification (dust and water
resistant), just like the Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z Ultra.
Interestingly, the listing also
reveals that the alleged Xperia Z1 mini will ship with the same 20.7-megapixel
camera as the Xperia Z1, one of the recently unveiled flagship’s biggest
highlights. Additionally, the Xperia Z1 mini is said to features the same Sony
G lens, f/2.0 aperture and the same 1/2.3” sensor which has been seen on the
Xperia Z1. One of the documents also show the Xperia Z1 compared alongside the
alleged Xperia Z1 mini, wich gives some indication about its expected size.
Looking at the documentation,
there are no details about the launch of the alleged Xperia Z1 min, but its
provenance certainly does hint that the device may be launched first in Japan.
Prior to this, the Xperia Z1 mini
was spotted in purported leaked images that revealed front panel with Sony
branding on top beneath the earpiece. The design of the leaked front panel of
the alleged Xperia Z1 mini was visibly different from the Xperia smartphones
launched until now.
Meanwhile, the Sony Xperia Z1 was unveiled at IFA last month,
while the device was released in India few days ago.
