A mini version of the Xperia Z1 is on the way folks, and it looks like it will be called the Xperia Z1 f (SO-02F). It's also codenamed the Honami Mini. A brochure from NTT DoCoMo shows the full specs along with images of the device alongside the Xperia Z1.

Past practice with Android manufacturers has been to put lower specs in the “mini” versions of the flagships, but Sony is going a completely different route by offering flagship specs in the Xperia Z1 f. It's going to have a 4.3-inch (1280 x 720) display, a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, 20.7MP rear camera, 2.2MP front camera, and it will be IP55/IP58 dust and water resistant.

Finally fans of smaller phones can enjoy high-end specs which is very refreshing. No word on when the Xperia Z1 f will be released, but I suspect it will be unveiled at CES in January.

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive). From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it. He has a wonderful wife and a 6 year old son. In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.

I’m glad they kept 720p resolution, anything more for a 4.3 inch screen and the pixel are just going to waste (the battery.)
