News & Reviews:   Sony Xperia J1 Compact Malaysia release date

Sony has officially announced the Sony Xperia J1 Compact for Japan. What makes it notable is that it is not locked to a SIM (not new in Malaysia we know, but most phones in Japan are SIM-locked to certain carriers). Tech specs and features are mostly high-end with an older 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB RAM, 4.3-inch display with 720p HD resolution, 20.7MP Exmor RS rear camera, 2300 mAh battery and IP68 water proof certification. No Malaysia release dates but it is set for Japan on 20 April 2015 with a pre-order price of 54800 JPY (RM1686).
