![]() ![]() If you’ve seen photos of the Z1, then you’ve seen the Z1S. Its performance in low light in particular, is the best we’ve seen from any smartphone, period (save maybe for the 41-megapixel Lumia 1020). #SONY VEGAS DEFOCUS CRASH ANDROID#After shooting hundreds of pictures with it here in Las Vegas, we’d say the Z1S’camera is likely the best you’ll find in an Android phone today. Sony is billing the 20.7-megapixel sensor as “the best camera in a waterproof smartphone.” Frankly, we think that’s selling the sensor a bit short. It’s the camera, though, that’s the real standout feature. Its specs aren’t bleeding edge, but they’re about what we’d expect from a high-end smartphone here in the early days of 2014. ![]() ![]() #SONY VEGAS DEFOCUS CRASH UPGRADE#The rest of the package is a solid upgrade from the Xperia Z, Sony’s last US-specific flagship, but should be very familiar if you’ve been following the Z1.Īfter spending about a week with the phone, running around Las Vegas, first covering tech announcements and then spending a few days sightseeing, we came away impressed with the Z1S. There are also some T-Mobile-exclusive camera presets, and the phone comes pre-loaded with the PlayStation app store and the company’s Xperia camera apps, which Sony says is a first for a carrier-specific Xperia phone in the United States. The headphone jack has also been moved from the top left edge to near the center. The main difference here is a step up to 32GB of internal storage (plus a MicroSD expansion slot). The Xperia Z1S, which will be available in T-Mobile stores on January 22, has been tweaked from the global Z1 in cooperation with T-Mobile to better fit the U.S. availability of the company’s 5-inch-screen Z1, which launched internationally last September, but will finally be coming to T-Mobile stores as the Xperia Z1S (yes, the S is little, but we’ll be calling it the Z1S from here on out). The other phone announcement form the show floor of Sony’s CES booth in Las Vegas was the imminent U.S. The major news on the mobile from Sony at 2014’s Consumer Electronics Show was the announcement of the Z1 Compact, a smartphone that looks to pack most of the features of the company’s recent Xperia flagship phones into a device with a smaller 4.3 inch screen. ![]()
