The Sony Xperia Z1 Mini has been one of the more heavily rumored devices in the Xperia lineup, and now a leak seems to confirm some new specs for the device, as well as a release date.
The Japanese website RBmen has allegedly snapped an advertisement for the Xperia Z1 Mini that was found in a brochure from NTT Docomo that revealed several new details about the device. The advertisement shows that the smartphone will be available (at least in Japan) on Oct. 10. This means that Sony may start rolling out the device in international markets as the company tries to draw more attention to the original Xperia Z1, which was recently released in the United States.
It is unclear if this release date reflects the international launch for the Xperia Z1 Mini. Sony has yet to comment on the release date for the device. In addition, the company is still preparing the Xperia Z1 for new markets, so perhaps the company is planning to launch the mini version of the device to certain select markets where demand would be higher for a smaller version of their flagship device.
According to the leak, the Xperia Z1 Mini will come in four different colors: black, white, pink and lime green. The device is reportedly slightly thicker than the original Xperia Z1, but has a smaller display at 4.3 inches. However, the display is a Triluminos 1280 x 720 Full HD model, so it will be comparable to other high-end smartphone screens.
The processor found in the smartphone will be the same as the one that powers the Xperia Z1, a quad-core 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM.
The Xperia Z1 Mini will also have the same camera as the Xperia Z1, the monstrous 20.7-megapixel shooter filled to the brim with Sony technology. The device will have 32GB of internal memory as well.
