It is already a reality. After numerous rumors and speculations, and at the gates of IFA 2013, the new flagship of the Japanese company, the Sony Xperia Z1, has been presented .

Its name is no coincidence, since it lands in the market as the terminal that will update the Sony Xperia Z, current number one of the company, and that will go hand in hand with the Xperia Ultra Z as one of the best choices with the Android operating system, each one on its size scale of course. Sony has chosen not to change its methodology in the manufacture of smartphones, which has given them so many successes this year, although this new model comes to replace the weaknesses suffered by its little brother.

Below we will describe each of the characteristics of this new high-end device from the Japanese company:

Technical characteristics

- Screen: it has a 5-inch Full HD screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, giving it an excellent 443 ppi. All this is possible thanks to the new Triluminos and X-Reality technology. It has resistance to scratches and bumps, as well as a non-splintering sheet.

- Processor: it has a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU model MSM8974, with a frequency of 2.2 GHz. It is accompanied by an Adreno 330 graphics. Its RAM memory is 2GB. Its operating system is Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, with possible update. The power of this terminal is assured.

20.7 megapixel camera

It is the biggest attraction of this new Xperia model. It features a proprietary Sony Exmor RS 1 / 2.3 ” sensor. Its resolution is 20.7 megapixels and is accompanied by the Sony G Lens with a 27mm angle and an f / 2.0 aperture. All this together with a maximum ISO of 3200, a digital zoom x3 without loss of quality and its great stabilization, which give the camera some outstanding qualities for being a smartphone. It also has a specific image processor for this terminal, the BIONZ, which will take full advantage of it with applications such as the Info-Eye, image search, AR Effect, a virtual filter to add scenes or characters to our photos, Social Live to synchronize facebook contacts or the Time Frame, which will allow you to capture 60 frames just before and after the shot.

A very attractive design

It has an aluminum frame made in one piece, which improves signal reception. Its resistance certification bears the IP58 signature, which ensures resistance to moderate shocks, dust and water up to 1 meter, exceeding the 30 minutes in which the previous model was established. The Xperia Z1 model is also cataloged as a very shock-resistant mobile. Its speaker, which is located at the bottom of the smartphone, is much larger in this terminal, which improves the sound in a substantial way. The headphone port is uncovered, and not camouflaged as it was with the Xperia Z. We have it available in white, black and purple.

Other characteristics to consider

Its LTE, WiFi, DLNA, Bluetooth 4.0, FM Radio, ANT +, NFC, Mirror Screen, aGPS with GLONASS, 3.5 mm audio jack and MHL ports should be highlighted.
