If you want a Android based smartphone that has a big screen (as in 5″), has a great camera, and is waterproof to boot, then you need to have a look at the Sony Xperia Z1 which is hitting Canadian carriers in October. Here’s a quick look at what it brings to the table:
- Dust-resistant and waterproof (IP55 & IP58), with acclaimed OmniBalance design featuring durable tempered glass and solid one-piece aluminium frame
- Sony’s “G Lens”: A lens with F2.0 and wide angle 27mm as well as 3x clear image zoom.
- BIONZ for mobile: Image processing engine with the algorithm from Sony’s leading digital compact cameras. It ensures pictures have less noise, fast auto-focus as well as high stable images for video shooting, preventing shots from being blurred.
- 1/2.3-type Exmor RS for mobile CMOS image sensor with 20.7MP: high sensitivity sensor capturing huge amounts of detail for sharp, crisp images, even in low-light conditions.
- Xperia Camera Applications such as Social live which broadcast to Facebook. More applications will be available to download from Sony Select.
- Qualcomm Snapdragon™800 quad-core 2.2 Ghz processor, 3000 mAh battery, 4G LTE
- Memory: RAM 2 GB, Flash memory up to 16 GB, Expansion slot microSD card, up to 64 GB.
- Xperia Z1 will launch on Android 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean).
You’ll be able to choose from multiple colors including black, white and purple to fit your style. I’ve requested one for review, so watch for that in the near future.
UPDATE: Rogers just dropped me a note to let me know that they will be carrying the Z1 and they will have the color purple exclusively as well as carrying the black version.
UPDATE #2: Telus just let me know that they’ll be carrying the Z1 as well.
