While we've known that the Sony Xperia Z1f or the mini version of the Sony Xperia Z1 would most probably arrive, we've still not confirmed whether or not it is just a smaller version with the same tech specs and hardware (asides from the battery and screen size of course) or is it just another cut-down mini version? Recent AnTuTu benchmarks have appeared showing that it could well be the former as the Z1f gets a score of 34376 compared to the 30838 of the Sony Xperia Z1. This is partly because the screen is smaller and the GPU can do more. Check out the benchmark score in the video below. Tech specs for the Z1f are so far confirmed the same as the Z1 including:
- 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 chipset
- Adreno 330 graphics
- 4.3-inch display (720p)
- 2GB RAM
- 20.7MP camera
Clearly the Sony Xperia Z1f is a departure from the normal 'mini' version that previous mini models have followed. Featuring the same hardware and tech specs apart from the screen size and the battery, this offers users a less incremental choice, and could well make the Z1f a sleeper hit of 2013 especially if you wanted a smaller cameraphone alternative. Unfortunately, it is so far only due for release in December 2013 for Japan. No Malaysia release dates or pricing just yet, but we should know come January 2014.
