Sony Xperia Z1F goes on sale in Japan, Z1S launch is upon us

Sony Xperia Z1F is now available at NTT DoCoMo's stores all over Japan in black, white, pink and lime flavors. The Z1F is the smaller sibling of the popular Z1 flagship featuring pretty much the same design and specs save for the display, which is now a 4.3" 720p unit and the battery that only has a 2,300 mAh capacity.

The Snapdragon 800 chipset, the 20.7MP camera and the 16GB internal storage plus the dust and water protection are all still present though.

The international mini version of Xperia Z1 has been in the rumorland for quite some time. Since the Xperia Z1F announcement as part of the NTT DoCoMo's winter lineup, numerous leaks have emerged for its global Xperia Z1S sibling. The device is expected to be virtually the same as the Japanese Xperia Z1F.

We already saw Xperia Z1S official pictures, camera samples, live photos and UI screenshots, it even passed through USA's FCC. The Xperia Z1S is reportedly going to be announced at Sony's CES press event on January 6 in Las Vegas.
