Equipped with 20.7 million pixel image sensor equivalent to digital cameraIt attracted attention from before it was released, I bought a smartphone "Xperia Z1" released from au on October 23, NTT docomo on October 24 and tried it out.

It is treated as "SO - 01 F" by NTT docomo and "SOL 23" as au, basically equivalent, but the catalog numbers of continuous standby time and continuous talk time, and some logo placement etc Be careful as it is different.

◆Opened
This time I purchased au's Xperia Z1, "SOL23".


The main body has already been confirmed that there is no scratch at the time of purchase. At the store we will check on the terminal whether the phone number matches, but the protective sheet affixed to the display remains intact.


Contents include warranty card, explanatory documents, desktop holder and 1Seg antenna.


The main body side is like this, with the logo of "SONY" on the top of the bezel.


In the center of the back side is the letter "Xperia".


This logo arrangement differs between NT-docomo's SO-01F and au's SOL23, and the part denoted as "au SOL23" at the bottom of the back is docomo, "SO-01F" and the model number of the model are recorded . Instead, the front side of the bezel "docomo Xi" on the top of the letter, the logo of the SONY will move to the bottom of the bezel.


The appearance feature of Xperia Z1 is its size with 5 inch full HD display on all. Before Z1, almost the same sizeXperia Z SO-02E,Xperia UL SOL 22Since it is out there, it may be a sense of "minor change" from the users of the Xperia series, but if you are touching a compact terminal, you will be surprised by the deck.

◆Comparing Xperia Z1 and iPhone 5s · Appearance
Due to its size, there may not be so many people sitting on the balance that "Xperia Z1 and iPhone 5s, which I'm worrying about", but as compared with the two, it is a topical model that was released in the near term Saw.


I tried iPhone 5s on the back of Xperia Z1. It is perfectly fitted in the corner on the right side, but the size is different as it is a different size.


First, I got my iPhone 5s in my hand. Because it is compact size among smartphones, it fits comfortably in the hand.


In the case of Xperia Z1, since the width becomes large, it has a slight way to hold it. If you are a big hand, you can operate with one hand without problems, but tapping the opposite side icon with your thumb is a bit of a problem. If a person with a small hand tries to operate with one hand, the finger may be likely to cling.


When used as a phone, the iPhone 5s looks like this. It is compact enough to feel like "Does your voice get picked up?" When you align the ears.


One Xperia Z1 can see the tip of the smartphone next to the face without moving the line of sight to the left or right. It is bigger than the handset of the fixed phone, but for the part that I use as a telephone, I do not feel inconvenienced in size.


For size comparison,ICEOI tried to give it to a stuffed animal. IPhone 5s fits perfectly in front of the body.


Trying to have Xperia Z1, it looks as though it is holding firmly in the neck. I firmly catch it, I feel as an ant as such a holder, but how about like iCEO ... ?.


◆ Comparing Xperia Z1 and iPhone 5s · Liquid Crystal Edition
Both Xperia Z1 and iPhone 5s feel like how much reflection is in the state that no film is pasted on the screen, it is like this when holding hands.


Compare the brightness of the liquid crystal. Turn on the fluorescent light in the room, both models turn on "automatic adjustment" to display Google's top page. Looking at the stage of the adjustment bar, Xperia Z1 was nearly in the middle, iPhone 5s was quite bright, so it seems that there is a difference in brightness depending on the difference in illuminance sensor.


I turned off automatic adjustment and made it the brightest condition. The brightness is slightly stronger for iPhone 5s. The shades are slightly different, Xperia Z1 is somewhat reddish, and the iPhone 5s feels like somewhat blue. This is a clear difference between two models, but if you use each model alone, you should not mind that much.


This time, I tried the darkest condition. Because I am looking in a bright room, it is dark and I can not see the screen well ... .... Even so, the iPhone 5s is slightly darker in comparison.


In that state, darken the light of the room and put only natural light into it, it looks like this. You can see that the width of the brightness is wider for iPhone 5s.


Looking at the article of GIGAZINE indeed like this. There seems to be a voice saying "yellowing of the liquid crystal is anxious", but the terminal at hand did not receive such impression.


It is perfect for reading news articles and watching Full Seg · One Seg when commuting to school or watching movies, rather than setting the main purpose for video viewing. However, that the screen is clear, very easy to read, easy to see, it means that it looks clear from the surroundings. People who care about it may be better to wear a filter to prevent peeps.

◆battery
Battery capacity is 3000 mAh, it is a silo mono which is expressed as "high capacity battery". Since the Xperia Z (SO - 02E) was 2330 mAh and the Xperia UL (SOL 22) was 2300 mAh, the capacity increase is pleasant, but there is the aspect that it can not use various functions with confidence without this capacity . As mentioned above, the screen is clear, easy to see, and brightness is enough, but since it means that we are eating the power, it seems that the capacity of about 3000 mAh is reasonable.

In this model, there should be some people who want to watch the movie as much as possible, so I actually tried playing the movie to see how much battery consumption will be. I used itBandai ChannelI tried to appreciate a few animations with 24 minutes per episode in a movie.

When the brightness is fully open and the volume is medium, after finishing watching one episode, the battery decreases by 10%. When you set the brightness to the darkest state, the battery consumption has become 6%. Since it was 6% decreased in one hour when all the applications were terminated, it was not possible to use extreme usage such as "Continue to watch the movie with maximum screen brightness without charging for a long time" It seems that batteries do not decrease too much in everyday use.

In this state the battery is reduced to 1% remaining, sold separatelyCommon AC adapter 04(Quick charge correspondence) was used to charge it, it recovered to 6% after 4 minutes, to 10% after 11 minutes, and it recovered to 30% after 43 minutes. So far it was in the state that the screen was on all the time, from here it turns off the screen and checking from time to time, 73% after 1 hour, 100% with 2 hours strongly .

The desktop holder enclosed with the main body is equipped with a magnet and can be charged simply by placing it without opening the cover on the side of the main body.


Because it does not want to open and close the lid finely in a waterproof terminal, it is a thankful place that comes with this.


The appearance while charging is like this, perfect for playing the movie as it is.


In the shop "It is not confirmed whether the common AC adapter 04 or the operation other than the Xperia's genuine AC adapter is confirmed", but since it was able to charge even with the common AC adapter 03 that was at hand, quick charging People who do not need people who have conventional AC adapters are also using ants to use them. However, there is no official operation guarantee, so please be careful.

◆Heat at the time of use
Depending on the terminal, the body may become so hot that it is called Cairo, so we measured the temperature immediately after playing the movie above. The main body temperature at standby was 27 ° C, which was almost the same as the room temperature at both the front and back surfaces.

The surface is similarly hot as a whole, the lower one is slightly hot. Measured 38 ° C near the home icon.


On the back side, the upper part is hot, measuring 37.4 ° C in the vicinity of the camera. At this time it was around 32 ° C near the bottom edge of the lower part.


I tried to look at the heat distribution by thermography. While the movie is playing, the upper portion gets really hot up to around 35 ° C as a whole, and the heat concentrates in the lower part with the speaker.


Similarly, the heat distribution on the back side. The top and bottom are reversed, but the top of the main unit (bottom in the picture) is getting hot.


As thin as 8.5 mm but 74 mm wide and 144 mm high, and if you do not mind the weight of 171 g you can use Xungia Z1. For smartphone imaging stands that can capture images automatically using camera performance and face detection functionRefer to the photo review posted previouslyplease do it.

For those who think "at least the size of the iPhone ... ...", NTT docomo only, although it is about the same size as the iPhone with the 4.3 inch display, the function is full change other than being off the fullCompact smartphone "Xperia Z1 f"There is also a hand. However, this is going to be released late December.
