We’ve got great news – Confirmation of Sony launching its latest flagship, the Xperia Z1, in India has been received. The company will hold a press event in Delhi and probably even Mumbai which is still not definite, during the mid of next week. This somewhat confirms the previous rumor of the device arriving in the country on the 18 of this month.
It’s surprising to see the Xperia Z1 go official in India just a couple of week after it was unveiled globally. The smartphone is an enhanced version of the Xperia Z which was launched earlier this year. The company has maintained the same OmniBalance design language, but instead of making the device slimmer, it’s a tad thicker at 8.5mm. The phone’s weight is even more compared to its predecessor’s, at 170 grams. The new iteration features the latest technologies from Sony and Qualcomm. They include a beefier processor, an improved display and a high resolution camera.
A 5-inch Triluminos 1080p touchscreen with X-Reality can be found on the front, while the rear sports a 20.7MP camera which features the Sony G Lens. The best from Qualcomm, a 2.2GHz quad core Snapdragon 800 SOC powers it up, while the memory provisions remain the same – 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and a microSDXC card slot. Apart from these, you’ll also be treated to Bluetooth 4.0, HSPA+, 4G LTE (not sure if it will be present in this model), NFC and GPS amongst others.
We’re already into the weekend and you can expect more details on the Xperia Z1 India launch in the coming days.
