    Why do people always complain about bezel whenever they refer to Z1 ? do you realize that Microsoft Lumia 1020 also does not particularly have a slim bezel but hey the people don't mention it and that goes to a lot more of other recent smartphone or even tablet. Puny.

      AnonD-168372, 18 Nov 2013The reason why I can't give up Sony is because of durability. durability and bad service is the only option sony lost their loyal customers to samsung atleast in india.. u buy phone for 500$ after 1 year u have to sell it to 50$, bcoz their component ( board fused off suddenly) replacement will cost you 400$... any repair in sony is premium, whether the device is premium or not....!this has happened to two of my friends owning satio what a sad..

        It's admirable that Sony is taking smart steps rather than just gimmicky miniaturesof rivals.
        But sadly they are are taking too long to bring it on.
        Remember when Sony announced Xperia z Samsung also brought water resistant phone. Which suggests that next move from Sammy and HTC will bring their smaller versions with the Dr specs as bigger next year and they will be way better in that if they do that
        So the point is song is giving time for the rival to get in the competition.
        Instead I would have loved to eat the cake before other even launch it. Once other will launch their consumers will be destracted.
        Come on Sony their you got the things right right time don't loose with tactics. Next year for sure your features will be dead far behind.
        Hurry up.

                    I prefer 4.3 inch over 5 inch any day. However, the only exception is Xperia ZL. I truly am in love with phone for it's compact size and huge 5 inch screen. Other phones are just not comfortable to hold no matter how many people to make excuses for this matter. I will continue to hold on my Xperia ZL until this baby comes out and is reviewed properly only then I'll buy it, and no I won't sell my precious unique ZL.

                        Battery life will be interesting. if it really has an IPS panel rather than a TN panel, only 4.3 inches size and only 720p resolution but still an S800 then it'll be really interesting how much hours of watching videos and web browsing you can do with it... I hope at least 5.

                                  trim those bezels! the purpose of a mini phone with a 4.3" screen is to have a small profile.

                                    It seems too big for a 4.3" phone. It's almost the same size as Nexus 4.

                                      Moto G and Z1 mini are two totally different segment phones. One is a barebone with basic needs fulfilled, while other is a premium device. The price difference will be more than twice.
