Last week, on the occasion of the CES show in Las Vegas, Sony presented the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. The name of the terminal does not leave much to the imagination and, indeed, it is a more compact version of its current flagship. However, the Japanese brand has fled from the typical strategy of offering a smaller terminal and at the same time with slightly more modest features. On this occasion we can say that we are facing a reduced clone of its older brother, which has the same advanced features such as the 20.7 megapixel camera, the quad-core processor or the connections among other things. The Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is now available in theSony's official store, although at the moment reservations are accepted, and its official price is 550 euros in free format.
Users who want to be the first to get hold of the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact can now reserve it from the official Sony website for 550 euros including VAT. The company expects that the first units will begin to be distributed towards the end of February, there is still time but in this way it is certain that there will be no waiting in the event that the first to arrive are sold out. Sony offers an interesting promotion, and that is that for 1 euro more users can also take a DR-BTN200M wireless headphones that usually cost no less than 100 euros.They are helmet-type headphones that work by Bluetooth, so you can listen to music without having any cables that can get in the way. To get this promotion, you just have to add the headphones and the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact to the shopping cart and the discount is applied automatically. There is no specified how long this promotion will last, but it is very possible that it is only aimed at users who make the reservation. We recall that the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact can be reserved in white, black, lime or light pink.
As we said, the little brother of the company's flagship has copied all its components and is a very interesting option for users looking for a more manageable high-end. The most notable difference is that its screen measures 4.3 inches diagonally and has HD resolution, but the rest has remained exactly the same. It has a quad-core Snapdragon 800, the 20.7-megapixel camera with Exmor RS sensor and LTE connection. They even share the same design and water resistance, which has already become a common point in the brand's smartphones.
The original Sony Xperia Z1 costs 700 euros in the official store, so Sony establishes a difference of 150 euros between its two top-of-the-range models. We consider it to be a reasonable difference, however the Sony Xperia Z1 can already be purchased through other distributors for 550 euros, so this difference would not apply depending on which cases.
