I'm Andrew hall cnet and I'm here taking a look at the Sony Xperia z1 it's sony's latest flagship smartphone packing a 20.7 megapixel sensor a sleek aluminium frame and the same waterproof design we've seen before on the Xperia Z like the experiencer before it the z1 has got a 5 inch display with a full 1080p high-definition resolution so sony says it's updated the display with the latest technology from its bravia line of tvs which promises better saturation and higher contrast difficult to tell exactly how that compares under these lights but it certainly does look quite good like the experienced it before it and indeed the tablet said the z1 is completely waterproof you can submerge it to a depth of one-and-a-half metres for up to 30 minutes best of all though it's taken away the flap over the headphone jack meaning you don't have to undo it every time you want to use your headphones so it's running on a 2.2 gigahertz quad-core processor which should make this thing seriously powerful luckily sony has paired that with a 3000 milliamp an hour battery which should keep this thing going for a while our launch is busy dois will be running Android version 4.2 point2 it's a bit of a shame because that isn't the most recent version of Android that's 4.3 but sony has said that an update will be on its way although hasn't yet said when that will be one of the most exciting additions to this phone is the camera on the back now this is a 20.7 megapixel sensor which is really very high resolution in fact sony claims that's the highest resolution you can currently get on an android phone now both the sensor and the glass have been made slightly bigger which should allow it to take in more light sony reckons it's going to be quite good in low-light especially with the biomes image processor but it has behind it having been able to give it a full test yet so I'll really have to see how it works when we give it the full review so there we have the z1 there's no official word from so many on price yet we are expecting it to be somewhere around the price of the Xperia Z probably around the 500 pound mark now it's due to come on sale in the UK surely after its law Aoife on the fourth of September we haven't got any word on global availability yet so make sure to keep it cnet for all the latest news I'm Andrew Foyle and this is the Sony Xperia z1
