This, folks, is how you launch a phone. Announced just last week at CES in Las Vegas, the Sony Xperia Z1s is now available on T-Mobile’s website. It’ll cost you $528 outright, or free if you’re willing to pay $22 a month for two years. The Z1s isn’t terribly different from its first iteration. Here’s how we put it in our hands-on from the show:
The first difference between the two is the weight; the Z1s is lighter than the Z1, and it’s a little more plasticky in construction compared to its sibling. The design remains largely the same, with the same power button on the side, magnetic charging dock connectors and SIM slot. Cosmetically they’re virtually identical then, with only the headphone jack being noticeably different in location on the Z1s.
Be sure to check out T-Mobile’s coverage maps if you’re looking at making the switch.
