Sony’s flagship device finally makes it to the United States courtesy of T-Mobile. With a few changes mostly in the design, does Sony’s take on a top-tier Android experience differ much from the original? Josh is here to let you know what’s up.

His voice is very macho
I have had this phone since 2014, why am I watching this video… 😶
That's weird because it was released in August 2013 at T-Mobile stores but it was a 16GB version @$800. I purchased it in September 2013.
I dropped IT in the water please tell me what to do
I have one and it has the worst battery.
þхуõýýыù ðÿÿðрðт!
I wish I had the money to buy it.
Does the camera have slowmotion or 120 fps?
I used to have a sony phone and i absolutley fucking hated it! One of the worst phones ive ever owned! It was very laggy, when i talked on the phone nobody could hear me because it sounded like i was mumbling, and when i got text messages it would recieve duplicate messages. Not to mention the screen went black out of the blue while i was playing a game on it. The only thing good about a sony phone is its durable as shit!
.SONY ..still hasn't gotten it right
I recently upgraded my older Samsung Galaxy phone for the new SONY xperia z1s phone. I’ve had this SONY phone for about 3 months. It slipped from my hand a couple of days ago and seemed fine as it has a additional protective cover. Then two days later the entire glass front shattered for no reason well after the time of the fall. I went to the T-mobile store where I purchased it and was told that Sony was good about replacing the phone as this was a situation that they have known about and had a history of problems with that phone’s glass screen before and would replace it. I called the Sony technical call center and was told by the consultant that I could send it in to them and they would take 14 days to evaluate it and then give me an answer as to what they would be able to do. I was contacted via email by SONY and I have asked for them to escalate the broken phone issue to a supervisor within SONY (an email every day to them) and not a word back.
Never ever purchase a SONY product…clearly their best years as a leading electronics company are long gone. And please don't get me started on the so called xperia water proof claim!
 I’m going to chalk this up this to experience and purchase a new Samsung phone something that I should have done from the beginning as Samsung has both great customer service and a great product.
I’ve spoken with t mobile both online and at their local office and they are as unhelpful as SONY is in making defective phones. My next move is buying a Samsung at Verizon.
Im not really liking the overall design and its kind of overpriced for what it is….
Looks too much like an iPhone, which is why it looks sexy! Until the hideous UI pops up..ÂÂÂ
I was charged 628$ at T-Mobile !!!
Does anyone else think the audio on this phone sucks ? I believe its too low for me. I have a hard time hearing from this phone…
ÂÂÂ
I see that Android finally updated the KitKat 4.4 for the Sony z1 will this update also work on the Sony z1s
Become an Xperia Xpert for a chance to win a phone and other prizes! http://sot.ag/2Dpvb/
Does the z1s have an it blaster ???
What is the second speaker on the back used for? On sony xperia z1s
Hey Joshua, are you using a screen protector? and if so what is it? I noticed the meshy look which I think looks better than the shiny look right out of the box
My Sony Xperia Z is nice I'll stick to that until the Z2 comes to the states! 🙂
Drop test please!
you nearly sound like johnny dep lol
would this one be better or as good as the S2
I was JUST going to order this. They increased the price to $600. Not buying it anymore. Inc. taxes about $672 now. It wasn't doing particularly well in the first place. What are they thinking?
I just got this phone and honestly,it's the best. The feel of the phone is perfect especially if you have big hands. It's the fastest phone that's ever been in my hands. Simply amazing

Also Keep in mind Guys. the Phone these Ppl get are a review Unit " not a final production Unit. So His Camera On his review unit may look like shit cause it's not final production..
This guy is wrong in so many ways.. The Phone does not cost 530 $ it's actually 528$ and it's a 5'7 Screen not a 5''0 screen .. Big fucking difference bro
I have both the iPhone 5s and the Sony Z1s. I've had my 5s since it's launch on Sept 21st 2013 and I just bought my Z1s yesterday. So far, the way I see it the Sony is a much better smartphone for you know… Smartphone stuff (browsing the Web, navigation, YouTube, Netflix hulu, G+) an the Sony also has the better screen when I'm looking dead at it and the customization options are unrivaled by anything the iPhone has to offer at present. Look, I love the way my 5s looks and feels, I've kept mine in mint condition and treated her like my first born since the day I stood in line for 6 hours to get her, but to even my surprise the Sony exudes an even better industrial design and quality of Materials than even apple could muster with its latest offering, but where the iPhone does excel is in the camera department and also in the external speaker department as well. The camera on the 5s is a simple but very effective tool in capturing great shots at a moments notice. While the Sony is certainly capable of producing some stellar shots itself. It does require one to manually adjust certain setting to get the optimal picture. So in my opinion, sitting here holding both devices in hand if given adequate enough time to prepare for the proper shot the Sony can even come out on top, but in the more than likely everyday scenario, where time is of the essence, the iPhone holds the uncanny ability of being able to be pulled from ones pocket and snap the perfect shot within 5 seconds it wins in this regard. Now as far as the speaker on these 2 devices it's no contest the Z1s speaker does not lack volume but it is extremely tinny and distorts at higher levels… Now with that being said, I have been an iPhone user and fan since the iPhone 4 was released, and this is the first time since then that I've felt that any other device besides one designed in California demanded my attention. With its meticulous attention to detail and superb Build quality. Something else of note guys is I live in Los Angeles on T-Mobile I'm getting almost twice as fast LTE speeds with the Sony over my 5s I just did a speed test standing virtually in the same spot and as usual my 5s with 2-3 bars of LTE pulled a download speed of 13.89 and an up of 3.76 now my Z1s had a download speed of 28.05 and up of 14.23 also I keep LTE where my 5s goes in and out constantly so I still need a few more days to make up my mind on a final.decision but Sony definitely had a winner in its hands with the Z1s
I don't have the option to change the camera resolution. 🙁
Haha t mobile talks a lot of shit ive got the z1 and the reception is great! Why downgrade to plastic? LOL! this phone is brilliant, has no issues, sony is also doing a great job supporting this phone with software updates which many oems don't really do besides google and samsung, soon to recieve kitkat aswell and im mainly a samsung guy! really appreciate quality from sony having my ps3's hardware pushed to the limit for 5 years now and my dads bravia tv lasting a very long time 🙂
When is the z1 compact review coming?
i had my z1s for 2 days now
why no review mentioned the shitty sound of the phone …….. useless >.>
Nice phone for a fisherman:-)
