The Sony Xperia Z1 (codenamed Honami ) was on September 4, 2013 at the IFA presented in 2013 and is a full HD Android - smartphone from the Xperia series of the company Sony . The model sold in Germany has the type designation C6903 , which is Sony's World variant with LTE. Towards the end of March 2014, Sony began updating to the 4.4.2 version of the Android operating system, which had been revised with the Sony UI .
Display
The Sony Xperia Z1 has a 5.1 inch (12.7 cm) Triluminos TFT display with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels (approx. 441 ppi pixel density ) and a color space of 16 million colors. The integrated X-Reality for mobile image processor supports the GPU Adreno 330.
The touch screen supports multi-touch - gestures with up to ten fingers.
camera
With the 1 / 2.3 inch Exmor RS for mobile , the camera enables HDR video recording as a second smartphone after the Xperia Z. In addition, the 20.7 MP main camera - in addition to the 2 MP front camera - offers other features such as a flash with pulsating LED and photo light, autofocus , focusing and recording by tapping, geotagging , an image stabilizer, red-eye reduction, self-timer and face and smile recognition. To improve the photo quality of the image sensor to a Sony G-lens optics with a diaphragm F 2.0 and a powerful was BIONZ - image processor supplements like him z. B. also have some Sony Alpha and NEX models.
design
The appearance of the Xperia Z1 was developed according to the OmniBalance concept, with the front or back and the edges (not the corners) coated with glass. The edges are framed by aluminum instead of plastic like the Xperia Z and are more rounded. With a thickness of 8.5 mm, the Xperia Z1 is slightly thicker than the Xperia Z. The edges around the display have been enlarged, which means that the Xperia Z1 is slightly larger than the first Z with the same display size.
Connectivity
The Xperia Z1 supports data transmission via WLAN with the common 802.11a / b / g / n / ac standard in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band. NFC enables the transfer of data, for example by touching two NFC-enabled devices. One of the implementations of NFC are the SmartTags , which z. B. are offered by Sony. Settings and / or actions can be assigned to these “SmartTags” in different colors, thus simplifying device settings. Bluetooth 4.0 enables the use of Bluetooth Low Energy or Bluetooth Smart , which is not yet supported by the current Android 4.2 (only implemented in Android 4.3).
strength
The housing of the Xperia Z1 is waterproof and dustproof according to the IP58 standard. This means that dust in harmful quantities and a 30-minute submergence in 1.5 m deep water does not cause any damage. The predecessor Xperia Z was only certified to IP57, which means less protection against water.
Smart accessories
Sony offers accessories for its smartphones that are essentially tailored to them, but mostly also work with other Android smartphones. His MN2 smartwatch has been around for some time , and the second generation SW2 has recently been launched. There are some apps in the PlayStore for these, with which various information, incoming messages and calls, MP3 player control, photo remote control and much more is possible. Furthermore, the stereo Bluetooth headset SBH50 and recently the successor SBH52 were presented. The specialty of the two headsets is that they can also display status messages and calls. As a special feature, the SBH52 can even be used as a mini phone without earphones, as it has a loudspeaker in the upper part and a microphone in the lower part like a small telephone receiver. This mini earphone with stereo headset was introduced with the Phablet Sony Xperia Z Ultra .
Modding
Sony directly supports the modding of the operating system with the option of unlocking the bootloader of the Android smartphone. The kernel sources have been published by Sony. In the Free Xperia Project , the mod (code name honami - not yet confirmed) will be released later. A key combination (* # * # 7378423 # * # *) takes you to the service menu, in which you can see the info - configuration, whether the bootloader can be unlocked.
Evaluation and criticism
In expert tests such as For example, the magazine “ Connect ” praised the endurance, the very good GSM and the good integration into the Sony ecosystem, but the weak UMTS performance was strongly criticized. inside-handy.de certifies that the Sony Xperia Z1 has a very good display and good overall performance, but is a little disappointed with the camera. For example, the camera's autofocus should sometimes take longer to focus and the automatic function sometimes produces slightly overexposed and pale images.
