The world’s best camera in a waterproof smartphone*
Sharper. Clearer. Brighter. That’s what Sony’s industry leading compact digital cameras give you. And now with Xperia™ Z1, we have created a groundbreaking smartphone built with the very same components, giving you the most stellar picture and video quality possible. By combining the large 1/2.3” 20.7MP Exmor RS™ for mobile image sensor, Sony’s award-winning G Lens, and intelligent BIONZ™ for mobile image processing engine, the results are nothing less than amazing. The light-sensitive 27mm wide angle lens comes with an aperture of F2.0. Wide apertures mean that bokeh – the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light – will be naturally incorporated in images produced. The large high sensitivity sensor is made exclusively for Xperia™ Z1 and is equivalent to the sensor size used in Sony’s Cyber- shot™ digital still cameras, which together with the intelligent noise reduction capabilities of the image processing engine and the sensitive ISO 6400 enables incredibly clear low-light pictures without sacrificing detail. The high pixel resolution, aspherical lens and BIONZ™ for mobile super resolution technology enables zoom without quality loss - just like an optical zoom, while the high shutter speed reduces any risk of blurry footage. Images are delivered with super sharpness, clarity and brightness.
*Xperia™ Z1 features a camera combining the world’s largest image sensor (1/2.3 inches) with the highest resolution (20.7MP) in a waterproof smartphone. It also includes the brightest lens (F2.0) available in a slim (8.5mm) waterproof (IPX5/IPX8) smartphone. Specifications verified by Strategy Analytics’ SpecTRAX service as of 10th of May 2013.

The best colour and sharpness ever
Built with the latest Sony BRAVIA® technologies optimised for mobile, Xperia™ Z1 incorporates a large high-resolution 5” Full HD TRILUMINOS™ Display for mobile, for a wider palette of rich, natural colours – just like having a broader range of colour pencils to draw from. With Sony’s exclusive X-Reality™ for mobile picture engine, everything you watch – from HD movies to web videos and photos – is analysed and selectively processed to deliver clean, clear, and lifelike pictures. In addition, the Intelligent Super Resolution technology finds and reproduces lacking pixels, so you’ll always be able to enjoy the sharpest videos, preventing your entertainment from being spoiled by low resolution videos. The display comes with a 1920 x 1080 progressive scan, for incredibly crisp pictures free of jagged edges. Paired with a pixel density of 441 pixels per inch, you get pictures that are razor sharp and incredibly bright.
