so the Z1s is taller, not as wide and thinner than the HTC One mini where as the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini is shorter, lighter and thinner than the Z1s but as we all know the HTC and Samsung are watered down mini versions of their big brother so the Z1s is easily the best compact smartphone of the year by far.
I'm so happy 'cause today

When is the Z1s going to be released. If it does in fact have a custom IPS display, that's what I'm gonna get.
Well if it uses Z1f display (there`s no point not to) then it will be beautifull IPS display.
Just see those extreme viewing angles with no light leaks and color shifting at all. 
I also waithing for Z1 mini 'cause I just can't use my 5" Z one handed even though I`m in love browsing on biger screen, but the benefits from smaller footprint will be much more. |

You are right!
XR5
Z1s and Z1 are the same device. Z1s is for a US carrier and it will have the same specs as the Z1.
The smaller device on the picture will have different specs from Z1. |

I believe u are right. I knew the Z1s couldn't be the mini!!!
When the Phone page on the Sony site showed it, everyone went on and on about how the Z1s is the int'l Z1f, but the pic shown under Z1s was exactly the same as the Z1! So it had to be another version of the Z1!

Any idea what is likely to be different well apart from size, screen and battery!
I would be extremely disappointed for them to downgrade the specs considering they are announcing it later than the already announced Z1f......which they have proved can be made with those specs! |

A few weeks ago GSMarena posted about a case on amazon.co.uk for the Xperia Z1s with the delivery date of the 26/11/2013 however I have just been to Amazon to check to see if the date has been updated and the delivery date is now the 14/12/2013. Roumor has it that the phone will be announced on the 26th and if the actual release date is the 14th then the Z1s has the same turn around time as the Z1 approx 3 weeks (in the UK) from annoucment to release could there be any truth in this only time will tell. Here is the link to Amazon if you want to take a look.

Relatively off topic but maybe interested by some of us...
wouldn't expect this but phonearena did clarify Optical Image Stabilization on Nexus 5
http://www.phonearena.com/new[....]akes-for-video-capture_id49484
***
further more research, discovered that HTC One and LG G2 are used only two-axis stabilizer.
only Nokia that came up with three-axis stabilizer solution and maybe in the same exclusive case for prior of time just like HAAC-Microphone that HTC One was violation in early batch of shipment.

Qualcomm unveils Snapdragon 805 processor
http://www.engadget.com/2013/[....]dragon-805-processor-ultra-HD/
Qualcomm said manufacturer sampling won't start until next year, meaning actual devices are still a ways off.
EDIT: From Qualcomm PR
The Snapdragon 805 processor is sampling now and expected to be available in commercial devices by the first half of 2014
Sony, I hope you're testing it now for 1H14 Xperia flagship

if the Z1 successor comes with this new processor, I would imagine it would be released only once the chip is available to Sony, so can be as late as June. |

How about the diagonal viewing angle of a phone? I'm no expert on mobile displays, but I've seen the Xperia P at angles from their screen's corner. Xperia P has very good horizontal and vertical viewing angles, but turn it from one of its corner and you'll see so much color degradation, like a LOT. It turns a bit more purple and white. My friend has the phone and I always notice that when I look at his phone on an angle. It's like those cheap displays but you'll only see the defect at its corner. Don't brand me a troll, I just notice this. I am not sure if it is a property of whatever screen display the Xperia P is using.
Sony needs a big turnaround for 2014 for their mobile phones, for every aspect of it.
