Sony Xperia Z1 | Prepys' Homepage

Greetings, spec fans! Just recently, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 3 & Sony, the Xperia Z1. Both phones pack the best punches as they feature huge displays, fast Snapdragon 800 CPUs and more. Now, let’s see how they fare up against their closest competition — the LG G2.

Galaxy Xperia G2

If you would notice, all these devices fall into the same product category. They’re all packing 5-inch or larger 1080p displays, boasting Snapdragon 800 chipsets & running Android.

As you can see, the Galaxy Note 3 takes the crown in most of the categories. It has the largest display, the highest RAM, the most expandable storage, the only one to offer UHD video recording, Android 4.3, the juiciest battery and the thinnest package; not to mention it also has that improved S-Pen.

However, not everyone enjoys a big display. With that said, the Sony Xperia Z1 takes the crown by being the one to pack the sharpest pixel density. The Z1 also features a 20.7 megapixel camera that has been put a lot of work into. All of that is wrapped around in a glass & aluminum body that is waterproof.

At 143g, the LG G2 is the lightest among the triad, but it’s also the thickest. It also doesn’t offer expandable storage. Apart from that, the LG G2 doesn’t seem to fail when compared to its new competitors while not offering anything unique as well.

On the brighter side, while the Galaxy Note 3 & Xperia Z1 had the advantage of more technology for a later release, the LG G2 will be launching here in the Philippines earlier – this upcoming 25th.

So, which one will be your Android pick? Or are you waiting for something like the HTC One Max, the next iPhone / BlackBerry, or the Noki *cough* Microsoft Lumia phablet? Feel free to leave your comments down below.

Sony’s next flagship phone is launching on September 4, and we’ll be there in Malaysia and Berlin to cover all the details. For the meantime, here’s a round-up of all the details, rumors and leaks surrounding the Sony Xperia Z1 as it has been taking the tech limelight for quite sometime now.

Now to start, we’d like to say that Sony had already teased the device several times, so we’re really sure everything mentioned here will be close to the real thing (although there might still be changes).

Same Design Formula

All the leaked images are showing off one consistent design, and it’s one looking a lot like the Xperia Z & the Z Ultra – probably because Sony is creating an identity for its devices. The phone will also be called the Xperia Z1.

“About to make a splash.”

The phone will have an aluminum chassis wrapped around the signature glass construction (don’t forget that power button too), and it will be available in white, black & purple colors. The Xperia Z1 will also be waterproof.

Under the hood, the Xperia Z1 is expected to become the first ‘One Sony’ device. What this means is that all the departments will be working together to put all the best elements in one device; audio will probably be from Walkman, BIONZ image processing & the improved sensor from their Cybershot section and the Trilumionous screen from their display department.

Now, we’re not expecting a big jump on specs here. The phone will still probably have the same display from the Xperia Z Ultra, only smaller at 5-inches. The CPU is also expected to be a Snapdragon 800 CPU too, partnered with an Adreno 330 & 2GB RAM.

20 megapixel camera and 4K video

One of the real stories here is the camera really. A lot of speculations have been surrounding the sensor already, and various details have been confirmed by leaks that it will be 20 megapixels and will be packing Sony’s G lens. We’ll just wait for the images to speak for themselves, but one thing to note here is that the sensor size won’t be going near the Nokia Lumia 1020; it’s going to be at 1/2.3″.

Acer just outed the Liquid S2 with 4K UHD video, and that just makes this next detail more believable. The Xperia Z1 is expected to shoot 4K video too! That sounds crazy, but it’s entirely possible as a set of leaked slides indicate it.

Stay tuned on September 4!

We’ll be covering Sony’s event on the Xperia Z1 this week so stay tuned. By then, we’ll confirm and add all the details, from availability & pricing to other jewels like the rumored ‘mini’ version of the said phone. So far, so good eh?
