Sony just got done with its CES 2014 press conference leaving us with plenty to talk about. One such discussion point is this, the brand new Xperia Z1s, exclusive to T-Mobile. We’ve had chance to take a quick first look at the new arrival, and on the whole it’s a lot like the current Xperia Z1 that we’re familiar with.
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.
Of course, one of the improvements T-Mobile customers can enjoy over the Z1 is the bumped 32GB of internal storage. Inside the Z1s runs a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800, has 2GB of RAM, and a 20.7MP G-Lens camera just as on the Z1, and we’re coming out of the box now with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.. Oh, and you get a little T-Mobile logo on the rear.
And that’s about it. It’s a lot like the Xperia Z1, but a little different in a few areas. For a quick video run through and a few more snaps, head on past the break.
