Speaking of the smaller model, the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact actually showed up on an AnTuTu benchmark early this month carrying the same powerful processor.
Going back to the Sony Xperia XZ1, the benchmark test showed that it will have the Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box.

As for the rest of the specs and features, the Sony Xperia XZ1 is rumored to come with a 5.2-inch full high definition (HD) display and a 3,000 mAh battery.
It should only be a matter of time before the complete details on what this device has to emerge seeing that it is only a month away from seeing the light of day.
The Sony Xperia XZ1 is expected to be made official at the highly-anticipated IFA 2017 trade fair taking place from Sept. 1 to Sept. 6 in Berlin.
The handset is expected to arrive along with its smaller sibling, the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact, which comes with the model number Sony G8441, a 5-inch HD display with a 2,800 mAh battery to keep the lights on.
