this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by Toyota what's up everyone this is Todd Hazleton from TechnoBuffalo we're here at CES 2014 in Las Vegas where we have the sony xperia z1s it was just announced and we're going to unbox it right now it's going to be an exclusive to t-mobile in the United States and obviously this packaging is a little more unique than what you'd find in a tmobile store shelf we've got the SmartWatch 2 in here the z1s so really we're just going to see what it looks like in this package but you'll fight you'll find totally different packaging once it hits t-mobile later this month so best of Sony best for you will take out the phone itself real quick USB charging on the top left here memory card slot for the microSD that's on the left as well got the dock and then moving down you've got just the speakers on the bottom on the right hand side you've got a dedicated camera button which we really love volume controls and on the back NFC we've got the 20.7 megapixel camera and a nice beautiful design similar to what we saw exactly what the Xperia z1 SmartWatch 2 comes with this unit for whatever reason here but that's not going to come with yours of course if you want to see what else comes in it you'll have a micro USB charger here we've just got a welcome to las vegas sony knows we're here the start guide for the z1s multiple languages and then here's an activation code for the runtastic pro application with the the SmartWatch 2 that obviously will not come with the c1s alright let's power it on and check out some of the features alright so now we've got the phone booted up here you're looking at the 5 inch display it's a full 1080p resolution under the hood you've got a Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.2 gigahertz that's a quad-core chip this phone's ip58 water resistance so it's a little more waterproof than what we've seen from Sony in the past of course you still have the covers that you need to keep closed the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack no longer requires its own flip cover so this can still dunk in the water and thanks to the dedicated camera key you can still take pictures underwater without having to try to touch the screen which usually gets a little messed up under the hood you've got 32 gigs of storage on board there's a 3000 milliamp hour battery and of course if you want to expand the storage you can use a micro SD card slot to add up to 64 gigs of additional up front we have a 2 megapixel camera we've already discussed the 20.7 on the back it's running Android 4.3 jellybean you have Wi-Fi calling support you have HD Voice support a lot of the features you see from t-mobile phones so one of the unique things that Sony and t-mobile worked on is an application called background defocus inside the camera so we open up the camera there's this area here where you can choose the different applications that you want to use with the camera will go down here and choose background defocus this is again it's only exclusive to the z1s so we'll take a picture here of this moto x what it does is it takes two pictures and now it's sort of stitch them together so you can see the background super-dee focused we can adjust that with this bar here and try to get it just right and in this in this case it's not so great it's kind of too it's adding way too much blur there you can see it and this is still in focus but it's not bad especially if you want to add light effects neat little thing probably not a reason you'd buy the z1s but not a bad option to have once you've already purchased it in any case that's a quick look at t-mobile's xperia z1s from sony should be launching this month on tmobile both online and in stores and this is todd Hazleton with technobuffalo reporting live from CES 2014 take to get the Toyota for sponsoring our CES coverage
