Yup.. just checked Sony's website and it wasnt there an hour ago.... Now its here already.
Already registred. 

Abit dissapointed with the water and dust protection though as the Z1 Compact only comes with IP55 againts my Xperia Go's IP67.

Just a gentle reminder that the Xperia Z1 is only splash proof and cant be immersed in water directly.

after i got my Nexus 5... n will stop test n buy any good phones already

PS:u foc kasi saya lo

  mau beli for test-drive ke?

For those worrying about battery life of the Z1 Compact need not worry now as the tests show way better than average usage for the phone. It even surpassed many phones.
For stamina mode in Sony, those not familiar with it must understand that during this mode the Data and Wifi for the phone turns off when the phone goes to sleep. This means that you wont be able to receive your Whatsapp, Viber and email notifications. But during this mode, the consumption of power by the phone is very low. Thats why the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact lasted 41hours 31mins on average until battery exhaustation.

When in Stamina mode, u can add exceptions to certain apps like Whatsapp and Wechat.

So this one now beats sony ZR as the best compact from sony?

Yes but wouldn't that activate the data/wifi and defeats the purpose for Stamina Mode? I mean during stamina mode, the phone disables all network/data and only activates it when the phone is waken up. If we were to put exception for whatsapp or email, push data will be activated and this means that network data has to be connected all the time. Though this is better than activating all android rubbish apps running in the background sending and receiving data.

Im thinking of selling off or trade in my iphone 5 for this baby. Annoyed with iphone 5 limited lte coverage in terengganu.

I believe the color is called hot pink. Or something like that.
Hahaha, thanks. But I have no intention of running the phone on stamina mode unless I have to.

Besides, that is a sony test on a sony phone. Let's just wait and see how the phone fares in real world tests.

It's time to get out of iJail and try Android. I can't think of anything that the iPhone outperforms the Z1 apart from the screen.

FYI Z1 is IP58 too. Definitely waterproof and not splashproof
