The world’s best camera in a water resistant smartphone*
Sharper. Clearer. Brighter. That’s what Sony’s industry leading compact digital cameras give you. And
now with Xperia™ Z1 L39t, we have created a groundbreaking smartphone built with the very same
components, giving you the most stellar picture and video quality possible. By combining the large 1/2.3”
20.7MP Exmor RS™ for mobile image sensor, Sony’s award-winning G Lens, and intelligent BIONZ™ for
mobile image processing engine, the results are nothing less than amazing. The light-sensitive 27mm wide
angle lens comes with an aperture of F2.0. Wide apertures mean that bokeh – the way the lens renders
out-of-focus points of light – will be naturally incorporated in images produced. The large high sensitivity
sensor is made exclusively for Xperia™ Z1 L39t and is equivalent to the sensor size used in Sony’s Cybershot™ digital still cameras, which together with the intelligent noise reduction capabilities of the image
processing engine and the sensitive ISO 6400 enables incredibly clear low-light pictures without
sacrificing detail. The high pixel resolution, aspherical lens and BIONZ™ for mobile super resolution
technology enables zoom without quality loss - just like an optical zoom, while the high shutter speed
reduces any risk of blurry footage. Images are delivered with super sharpness, clarity and brightness.
*Xperia™ Z1 L39t features a camera combining the world’s largest image sensor (1/2.3 inches) with the
highest resolution (20.7MP) in a water resistant smartphone. It also includes the brightest lens (F2.0)
available in a slim (8.5mm) water resistant (IPX5/IPX8) smartphone. Specifications verified by Strategy
Analytics’ SpecTRAX service as of 10th of May 2013. For more information on Strategy Analytics results,
go to: www.sonymobile.com/testresults/.
The best colour and sharpness ever
Built with the latest Sony BRAVIA® technologies optimised for mobile, Xperia™ Z1 L39t incorporates a
large high-resolution 5” Full HD TRILUMINOS™ Display for mobile, for a wider palette of rich, natural
colours – just like having a broader range of colour pencils to draw from. With Sony’s exclusive XReality™ for mobile picture engine, everything you watch – from HD movies to web videos and photos – is
analysed and selectively processed to deliver clean, clear, and lifelike pictures. In addition, the Intelligent
Super Resolution technology finds and reproduces lacking pixels, so you’ll always be able to enjoy the
sharpest videos, preventing your entertainment from being spoiled by low resolution videos. The display
comes with a 1920 x 1080 progressive scan, for incredibly crisp pictures free of jagged edges. Paired with
a pixel density of 441 pixels per inch, you get pictures that are razor sharp and incredibly bright.
Smart, sleek and water resistant*
Building upon the rich history of Sony’s craftsmanship, Xperia™ Z1 L39t has been carefully crafted using
only clean lines and premium materials. With OmniBalance™ design, this smartphone offers balance and
symmetry in all directions, creating a smartphone that feels wonderful to hold in every angle. Both the
front and back are made of durable tempered glass, reflecting the world around you while allowing you to
get so immersed in content that the hardware virtually disappears. The plastic frame with sleek metallic

parts creates premium expression. Paired with the Magnetic Charging Dock DK31, charging is made
smooth and comfortable, with no need to open a USB cap. And due to its IP55/IP58 rating, this slim and
sleek smartphone is both water and dust resistant. In fact, even the headphone jack is water resistant.
For a smartphone that is just as breathtaking as it is tough.
*In compliance with IP55 and IP58, Xperia™ Z1 L39t is protected against the ingress of dust and is water
resistant. Provided that all the covers for the micro USB port, the micro SIM slot is firmly closed, the
phone is (i) protected against low pressure jets of water from all practicable directions in compliance with
IP55; and/or (ii) can be kept under 1 metre of freshwater for up to 30 minutes in compliance with IP58. For
more information, go to www.sonymobile.com/xperia-z1-waterresistant.
Blazing fast performance
Performance that never lets you down. Isn’t that what we’re all craving for? With Xperia™ Z1 L39t, that’s
exactly what you get. This smartphone supports super-fast TDLTE networks, giving you access to
entertainment anytime and anywhere. With the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 800 quad-core 2.2 Ghz
processor with 2GB RAM, this smartphone comes with ultra-fast performance and breathtaking graphics.
Better battery life
Smartphones use a lot of power, even when you’re not actively using them. All those apps that you have
on your phone may still be running in the background, draining your battery. Battery STAMINA Mode
saves you wasted battery drain. It recognises when you’re not using your display and automatically turns
off the functions you don’t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power
button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again. So not only do you have an enormous
3000 mAh battery, Battery STAMINA Mode helps you cleverly maximise every bit of that energy.
