Sony Xperia Z1 Mini launching globally on November 12 as Sony Xperia Z1S?
Sony could be launching the Xperia Z1 Mini as the Xperia Z1S at a November 12 event
Sony is scheduling an event for November 12 in Shanghai, according to Chinese social media sources, which could see the global launch of the Xperia Z1S, also rumoured as the Xperia Z1 Mini (it's already launched in Japan as the Xperia Z1f).
The word comes from posters on the Chinese social network Digi-Wo. Due to issues with translation, it’s difficult to establish if there’s some kind of inside source, so do take it all with a pinch of salt.
Some of the promotional material for the event shows the slogan “Be moved”, which some are suggesting could be a hint that this is a mobile device.
Sony already launched the Xperia Z1f in Japan with a smaller bodyshell and a 4.3-inch 720p display, but with much the same spec as the Xperia Z1 flagship down to the Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor and 20-megapixel camera.
There are plenty of arguments as to why Sony would do well to introduce such a handset to the wider global market, not least of all the fact that most other “Mini” devices from rival manufacturers have not echoed their larger counterparts so exactly in the hardware department. Sony has something of a unique product on its hands, in this instance.
Another possible candidate for the event is the rumoured Sony Xperia Tianchi, a 6-inch phablet with a 720p display and an octa-core MediaTek processor, which could be an affordable equivalent to the Xperai Z Ultra. Of course, as the current trend is very much towards multi-device launches, both rumoured handsets could appear at the same event.

The rumours were true! Sony and Japanese carrier DoCoMo have just announced the Sony Xperia Z1f and it does feature many of the leaked specs, making it largely a miniaturised version of the Xperia Z1 flagship.
Of course the display is different, as per the rumour it's a 4.3-inch 1280x720 pixel screen, but the insides include the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core chip (2.2GHz) as the larger Xperia Z1, complete with an Adreno 330 GPU and 2GB of RAM.
