Sony Xperia Z1 Compact D5503 16GB Smartphone (Unlocked, Lime)

The lime Xperia Z1 Compact D5503 16GB Smartphone from Sony is for those seeking a compact smartphone that doesn't compromise on performance or features. The Xperia Z1 Compact features nearly all of the high end features found in Sony's larger flagship Xperia Z1, but in a much more compact and easily held package. The phone is IP55 and IP58 rated for dust resistance and waterproof protection. With the Xperia Z1 Compact, you'll be able to take pictures while fully submerged.

Please note that you must have all the ports on the Xperia Z1 Compact firmly closed and covered before placing in water. It is only waterproof in fresh water up to 4.9" (1.5 m) and only up to 30 minutes.

The Xperia Z1 Compact features a high 20.7-megapixel rear camera with an Exmor RS sensor. The Xperia Z1 Compact also utilizes a Sony G Lens and the intelligent BIONZ mobile image processing engine for capturing high quality photos. The Xperia Z1 Compact also supports High Dynamic Range (HDR), which captures the same image in different exposure levels and then fuses them together, resulting in a picture with natural colors. There is also a Superior Auto mode, where the Xperia Z1 Compact combines scene recognition with high performance image processing technology so you'll be able to capture photos with automated optimal settings.

The Xperia Z1 Compact also features One-touch functions from Sony with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. One-touch sharing allows you to share media files with another NFC-enabled smartphone, tablet, or laptop by simply tapping the devices together. One-touch mirroring allows you to view photos and videos on your NFC-enabled Sony BRAVIA HDTV. To activate one-touch mirroring, simply tap your Xperia Z1 Compact to the BRAVIA remote. One-touch listening lets you play music wirelessly to Bluetooth speakers while one-touch backup stores all your important information on the Sony Personal Content Station (sold separately).

The Xperia Z1 Compact has a quad-core 2.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM for fast, reliable performance. The Xperia Z1 Compact also has 16GB of internal storage, but it can also be expanded up to 64GB, thanks to the microSDXC media card slot. With support for GSM and LTE cellular networks, the Xperia Z1 Compact also supports Bluetooth 4.0 wireless technology and Wi-Fi networks for added connectivity.

The Xperia Z1 Compact comes with the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system. KitKat provides improved features to Android. Google Now is integrated deeper into Android. In fact, you can start using Google Now without even having to touch the screen. Instead, you can simply say "OK Google" to your smartphone and you'll be able to do voice search, send a text message, get directions, or even start playing music. Speaking of voices, the phone app has gotten a revamped look. Instead of the tired alphabetical sorting, KitKat will evaluate which contacts you speak with most often and automatically prioritize your contacts list accordingly. Also, the phone app is integrated with Google Maps so you'll be able to look up nearby restaurants and hotels directly from the app. On a related note, Caller ID also gets some Google Maps integration as well. If you receive a call from a phone number that is not in your contacts, Google Maps will search and display any matches from local businesses. It's clear that Google's goal with Android 4.4 KitKat is reduced Android fragmentation and a personal, customized experience.
