LAS VEGAS: JAPANESE HARDWARE MAKER Sony unwrapped the Xperia Z1 Compact smartphone during its CES press conference on Monday.
The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is essentially a scaled-down version of the company's flagship Xperia Z1 smartphone, but the firm has been keen to stuff it full of the same high-end specifications.
The handset arrives powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip, which acts as the force behind its 4.3in Triluminous HD display.
High-end specifications continue throughout the rest of the device, too. On the rear there's a 20.7MP Exmor RS camera, which comes coupled with Sony's custom photography software and Augmented Reality smarts. The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact also packs a 2,300mAh battery, support for 4G LTE and, just like its high-end sibling, the handset is resistant to dust, scratches and water.
Sony's Xperia Transfer software is also included, which the firm claims makes it easy to switch from an iPhone.
Kunimasa Suzuki, president of Sony Mobile said, "We've taken the power of the Xperia Z1 and we have made it smaller without compromising on features.The Xperia Z1 Compact houses all of the power of the flagship Z1."
The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact will launch globally in February, and pricing details have not yet been announced. Sony also today Lifelog, an Android application that acts as a fitness tracker.
The firm gave us a glimpse of the Sony Core - a USB-stick sized tracking device and the Sony Smartband which houses it, too, which will pair with the Lifelog app. These gadgets will be available in spring this year.
