With all the top smartphones in the world boasting their quad-core processors and Full HD displays, it's harder and harder for an individual to really stand out. With the Xperia Z, Sony made a brave attempt at differentiating by waterproofing the phone so you can spill beer on it without it giving up the ghost.

The Xperia Z1 keeps its liquid-repelling credentials, along with sexy glass design and Full HD screen. Its quad-core processor has been supercharged to 2.2GHz, and its camera now boasts an impressive 20.7 megapixels.

There's no word yet on exactly how much Sony will demand for this high-spec beast, but it's safe to assume that it'll be roughly on a par with the Xperia Z. Don't expect to pick it up for any less than £500 when it goes on sale in the UK in the coming few weeks.

Yeah, it's amazing device ... a pure diamant with the powerfull hardware, camera and IP57. Actually this is device to beat but there is one big BUT and that's dimensions. Z1 is bigger than its predecessor Z. I had Z for a week or so and I couldn't get used to its dimensions. It's like a small paddle. Considering that Z1 is even bigger it raises question whether we should call this device yet smartphone or phablet instead. Either way this is excellent phone but not so "handy".
However this sounds much much better ... mini model of Z1 called Z1f with the almost identical specification but with 4,3" screen what would make this phone really a top handy device!
