It also contains a 5.0 inch Sony Triluminosand its X-Reality Engine for better image and video viewing, the displays resolution is 1920x1080 with 441 pixels per inch. The Xperia Z1 comes with 2GB of RAM and Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.15 GHz. Additional less obvious connectivity includes support for USB OTG allowing for the connection of external USB devices as well as support for MHL output connection. Unlike the Xperia Z, the Xperia Z1 doesn't have a flap covering its headphone jack, but maintains its waterproofing, a move welcomed by many due to the waterproofing warranty on the Sony Xperia Z being reliant on all ports being sealed. The Z1 is dust resistant with an IP rating of 55 and 58. The phone is certified waterproof to 1.5 m for up to 30 minutes. The camera sensor size is 1/2.3" same as commonly are used in bridge camera. Sony said that the frame had to be enlarged due to the larger than average camera sensor. The Xperia Z1 is thicker (8.5mm) and heavier (169g) and has thicker screen bezels than the Xperia Z, even though the two phones share the same screen size. The phone is available in three colours: black, white, and purple.
The sim card can be removed easily with bare hands. Easy access to external memory card and sim card slots are provided. The metallic look and positioning of the power button is inspired by luxury watch crown design. The location is said to make operation easier. A dedicated hardware shutter key for easy access to camera is provided on the lower right side. The aluminium power button is placed on the right side of the device. The phone features tempered glass, which is Sony's own and they claim is even tougher than Gorilla Glass, front and back, covered by shatterproof film on front and back. Xperia Z1 has subtly rounded edges and smooth, reflective surfaces on all sides, which are held together by a skeleton frame made from aluminium. I'm pretty sure it will become a top seller and that people will be quite satisfied with it.The Sony Xperia Z1's design is "Omni-Balance", according to Sony, which is focused on creating balance and symmetry in all directions. Only downsize is the music player where it obviously would be nice to have the "Walkman" player, but that is of course not an option because of this being a "Cybershot" phone.All in all this is a very good, practica, useful phone with an excellent camera, stunning looks and plenty of features and nothing that "stands out", neither in positive, nor negative ways.
but it does the job well and plays mp3-s with different bitrates, not like my M600 which spells out "ERROR" on many of my tunes. well ok, the music player could be better of course. I will definitely not have to carry around another camera with me anymore, this is a keeper. There are loads of options for the camera as well, which makes it very useful. Picture quality from the camera is superb in all light conditions, much better than any previously released SE cameraphone that I've seen. Different key illumination for phone and camera is pedagogic and logical and beautiful. Keys are not too big, not too small, and easy to use. Format is perfect and beautiful, slim and rounded, the color is stunning. If you need a good phone with the best 3.2 camera on the market, go for K770i! Trust me, you won't be disappointed! I had K750, K800i, i-mobile 902, I can say that K770i takes the second place on my list!Ĭamera cover is the best solution yet, doesn't open when in the pocket.
It would be a PERFECT camera phone if it only had Xenon Flash (but strong as the one in N82). I had i-mobile 902 (for those who haven't heard about it, a 5 MP Sony CCD camera phone from Thailand), I must say that K770i photos sometimes remind me on i-mobile 902. The Camera is excellent, as I said in the title, definitely the best Sony Ericsson camera phone! No more awful noise reduction and ''water color''/''oil painting'' effect that was destroying K800i's photos, excellent saturation, sharpness and details. Sound is excellent considering that this is a Cyber-Shot phone. Display is also great, better than the one found in K800i.
It kind of reminds me on Sony's T series digital cameras, probably because it's slim. Many people I know find the design awful, but I really like it.
