[ RUMOR ] Xperia Z1S and Xperia Taichi to be unveiled on November 12 Shanghai Press Event

After a month of global launch of Sony Xperia Z1 and it’s mini version as Xperia Z1 F recenty in Japan, it seems Sony Mobile is all set to release more devices this year before CES 2014 event. Just now an interesting rumor about Xperia Z1S and Xperia Taichi has been popped up on a Chinese website “Digi-Wo” which has allegedly leaked many info of may Xperia models before their official launch.

As per the tipster on the above mentioned Chinese website, Sony Mobiles is all set to hold a press event in Shanghai on November 11, 2013 where we may see the launch of Xperia Z1S ( assumed as international version of Xperia Z1 F ) and another Xperia device code named as Xperia Taichi.

Xperia Z1S was recently spotted in the alleged leaked press image render from Evleaks and it will feature the same specs as Xperia Z1F. On the other hand this mysterious device Xperia Taichi is a sensation.

Xperia Z1S and Xperia Taichi to be unveiled on November 12 Shanghai Press Event

Rumored specs of Xperia Taichi

According to a widespread rumor Xperia Taichi is a mid ranged  6″ Phablet featuring MediaTek SoC true octa-core processor and 720p HD display with 1280×720 screen resolution.

Xperia Z1S and Xperia Taichi

We want to clearly stat that authenticity of above information is still not proved, so take this info on Xperia Z1S and Xperia Taichi as rumor.

It would be great if we see international launch of Xperia Z1F, but this Xperia Taichi will be like incing on cake if it comes…

Xperia Z1 Sony Logo Embedded on Shatter Proof Screen Protector

Sony embedded it’s “Sony” logo on its shatter proof screen on Xperia Z and it did it again yes Xperia Z1 has it’s Sony Logo Embedded on Shatter Proof Screen Protector in fortunately.

What is Sony’s intention behind this is still unknown, atleast on their premium devices they can sport the “Sony” logo on the top itself rather than on screen protector.

A video on “How to Remove Xperia Z1 Shatter Proof Screen Protector with Sony Logo” confirmed the above title. Check below some series of photos of removed Sony Logo from Xperia Z1.

How to Remove Xperia Z1 Shatter Proof Screen Protector with Sony Logo

Some users claim that Sony service center told them that their Xperia Z’s warranty is void after they removed the stock Shatter Proof Screen Protector, so don’t do it.

What do you think on this guys, it is tolerable for you…

[ Via – Recombu YouTube Channel ]

How to Remove Xperia Z1 Shatter Proof Screen Protector with Sony Logo

Ooops Sony did it again and this time with mighty Xperia Z1, confused what we are talking about; well we are talking about Sony’s policy of embedded “Sony” logo on shatter proof screen protector. Just now we noticed in a video that Sony has again embedded it’s “Sony” logo on the shatter proof screen protector just like they did with Xperia Z also.

Xperia Z1 comes with a shatter proof screen applied on it and the top “Sony” logo near front cam is baked on itself. So if you by chance removed the stock shatter proof screen protector Sony Logo from top goes off.

How to Remove Xperia Z1 Shatter Proof Screen Protector

Check the below video on how to remove your Xperia Z1 shatter proof screen protector. We read it that some users reported that removing stock shatter proof screen protector from their Xperia Z voided their warranty so don’t even think of doing that.

Removing shatter proof screen protector doesn’t alter the viewing angles on Xperia Z1.

Well it looks odd why Sony is still embedding Sony logo on shatter proof screen protector, what’s your take on this matter.

Sony Brazil says Xperia S, P, J, E Dual Jelly Bean coming in June

Another bazooka from Sony came over Xperia S user 😛 Sony Xperia Brazil blogs that android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for Xperia S LT26i coming in the first half of June. It’s a contradictory statement from Sony now, as yesterday Sony Xperia France tweeted yesterday that Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for Xperia S LT26i is rolling out and the final build be ready till the last week of month of May.

Sony Brazil says Xperia S, P, J, E Dual Jelly Bean coming in June

As Xperia J, P have already got android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update globally so now it can be a new firmware build number for it.

Sony Brazil says Xperia S, P, J, E Dual android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update coming in June

They have also said about android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for Xperia E Dual, that it is being tested and is guaranteed that it will come soon may be in first half of June.

Meanwhile Xperia S users are now amazed to see two different statements from two different Sony accounts. Meanwhile it is being speculated that android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for Xperia S will come in the next week of May, hopefully it comes 😛 May be Xperia SL and Acro S gets the same update with Xperia S. What do you think guys why Sony is trolling Xperia S users so over android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update :/
