They did something similar with a w995 style slide phone in the past! It had a 1ghz processor and 12mp camera! The best slider we had was w995 while japan got this beast! Xperia Z1 mini would be a big hit as samsung hasnt got a handset with specs like z1 f yet! My xperia T will be my last xperia if sony dont make Z1-f available in uk! I dont want a 5inch screen and 720p is just fine!

    Don't worry mate if you check Xperia blog there's evidence from NTT DoCoMo that Sony are releasing a mini version of the Z1 just search it up it's called the Sony Xperia Z1f. Basically it has all of the specifications of the Z1 but it has a smaller 2300mAh battery, 4.3 inch 720p display and is 9.4mm thick. Here's the thread guys: http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/09/30/xperia-z1-f-so-02f-aka-honami-mini-specs-leak/

      Nick, 24 Aug 2013Hi, I wanna buy a new cellphone, but I can't decide between the SX SO-05D and the Sony Xperia ... moreI had the P before, but sent it back because with maximum brightness, everything yellow went to green, really terrible.
      I think it is problem of the *white magic* and can not be fixed.

        I found an offer on amazon.co.jp for about 350$, pink version.
        has someone any idea about unlocking it and international shipping maybe?

          Now this seems like the thing to replace my Xperia Ray with. What's the deal with Sony? The small form-factor properly featured handset market in the western world is still an unfilled niche. And apparently the hardware pretty much would exist...

            Nick, 24 Aug 2013Hi, I wanna buy a new cellphone, but I can't decide between the SX SO-05D and the Sony Xperia ... moreIt really does depend on what you mean by a little gaming.

            I do not recommend this phone for the battery Life. Its simply awful. Bluetooth is useless as won't last more than 4 h on full charge.

            Camera is too narrow angle.

            Else no complaints, but please be warned, battery is extremely poor for daily use unless voice calls.

            I've had this phone for 4 months now

                Hi, I wanna buy a new cellphone, but I can't decide between the SX SO-05D and the Sony Xperia P. Which is better?
                which one do you suggest i.e., which one would you buy?

                Also, does the battery (for both of them) really drain as fast as everybody is saying or these people just leave a lot of Apps running and forget about them?
                Does it last at least a day?
                I mean, if I charge it at night, can I use it the whole next day (average using*) and then charge again in the night? Or the battery is gonna die in the afternoon?
                *by average using I mean a couple of short phone calls, some messages, a few pictures, a couple of short videos, a little snapchatting and what's up messaging, maybe a little gaming...

                thank you very much

                  if sony has the technology to create a super light smartphone , what are they waiting for ? look at the specs 95 g and width of only 54 mm .
                  this is how a phone should be not 70 or 80 mm in width .
                  please re create something like this again and launch it worldwide and just japan

                    What country are you using the phone in? Where did you get the phone from (did you buy online)? Also what OS are you running - did you upgrade it to jelly bean or is it still ICS?

                      I have been using this phone for the last 6 months. It's ultra light, beautiful, and fast. Only problem -- the battery life is absolutely appalling. With heavy app use, battery life on this phone can be as low as 2 hours after a full charge. Abysmal.

                      I would love it if companies could release more small/ light phone models which are also highly specced.

                      More competition in this category would probably result in better performing devices for consumers.

                      Right now the lighter weight phones are relegated to the budget end of the market, which is a shame.

                          Has anyone out there owned and used the SX SO-05D on a 3G900 (UMTS BAND 8)?? Is the phone capable of picking up 3G900? Specifications for Docomo can be quite confusing. I have already used an unlocked Docomo phone on the 3G900 band even though all online specifications said nothing of the sort.

                          Any help on this matter would be appreciated. Please only reply if you have on hand experience.

                              aspect ratio is very close to iphone5. I can see it being a legal issue... It's the only phone meeting my spec requirements, so let's hope it comes...

                                  Great phone. But is camera is really really bad. The field of view is also really narrow. So you have to stand really far back to get everything in the photo. Video has the same problem, and also an extremely slow auto-focus.. the camera is always hunting for the correct focus and rarely gets it right. Other than the camera/video. Its a super company small and light phone with fast browsing, fast apps, etc.
