Sony released their mini smartphone Xperia Z1f

If the trend is clearly smartphones XXL, all users do not carry around a bag for storing a mobile terminal capable of competing tablet. That's why the arrival of the Xperia Z1F is good news for fans of smartphones discrete but effective, especially allergic to Apple.

After interesting Xperia Z and declination XXL Ultra Z, Sony returns to more compatible with our pants pockets proportions. Announced in Japan NTT DoCoMo Xperia Z1F confines itself to a screen with a diagonal of 4.3 inches (1280 x 720 pixels). Slightly more than the iPhone 5, but less than 5 inches of Z1. As with the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini or with its HTC One mini, so Sony is lowering one of his best-sellers, but without touching the technical specifications of its Android smartphone. We find a 4G/LTE platform associated with a quad-core ARM chip at 2.2 GHz (Qualcomm Snapdragon 800) with an Adreno 330 GPU and 2GB of RAM. The battery has a capacity of 2300 mAh. For size, NTT DoCoMo announces 127 mm long and 65 wide and 9.4 mm thick and weighs 140 g. 

With this smartphone, powered by Android 4.2.2, Sony is clearly positioned as an alternative to the Apple iPhone 5S even if does not have gadgets like the fingerprint reader. However, it makes up with the NFC still banned from Cupertino. This high-end Android-based smartphone is not yet announced in Europe, but should enjoy the comeback of Sony who took full advantage of the collapse of Blackberry on the old continent.
