Sony is preloading a number of photo apps in the new Z1, including Social Life, a camera streaming app to broadcast whats going on to Facebook; a Timeshift burst mode to take multiple images so you can choose the best shot from several; a visual search app called Info-Eye to get more info on snapped products/landmarks; and an augmented reality app called AR Effect to overlay customised animations onto images.
The Xperia Z1 runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean at launch. Its spec list includes a 2.2Ghz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, 2GB of RAM, 16GB internal storage expandable via a microSD card slot and a 3,000mAh battery.
Also, let`s not forget that the new Z1 is also waterproof, just like its predecessor.
Sony says the Xperia Z1 will be available very soon, "later this month".
