Sony is leakier than a barbed-wire boat right now, with press images and the full press release for the Xperia Z1 arriving ahead of the Japanese tech company’s announcements tonight at IFA in Berlin, courtesy of Xperia Blog.
According to the website, the expected 4K video recording was not mentioned. However, other rumoured specs — a 1080p 5-inch display and Snapdragon 800 processory — are included. The phone features a TFT Triluminos screen, with X-Reality image processing for mobile.
The camera looks top notch, with a 1/2.3-inch 20.7MP Exmor RS CMOS image sensor, Sony G lens with 27mm wide angle and F2.0 aperture and Bionz image processing.
Inside the phone will be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 running Android 4.2.2, with a 2.2GHz quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM and Adreno 330 graphics. On-board storage is 16GB with a microSD slot for expansion, and its battery is 3000mAh.
The phone itself will measure 144x74x8.5 millimetres, weigh 170 grams and come in three different colours: black, white and purple. It is dust and water resistant up to a depth of 1.5 metres with a solid, one-piece aluminium chassis. It’s expected to hit the market worldwide sometime this month.
Pricing, of course, is yet to be announced; stay tuned for the CNET live blog of the Sony press conference for more info.
