Lots of rumors have been bandied around over the past week or so, highlighting Sony’s upcoming Xperia Z1 variant, the Z1S, and yesterday a leaked image was published on a Chinese website revealing the much-anticipated device in all its glory.

In addition to the image, the leaker also imparted some specifications. The handset will feature a 4.3-inch IPS 1080p capacitive touchscreen powered by Sony’s Bravia X-Reality engine, a 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 20-megapixel rear-facing Exmor R sensor, 16GB of internal storage, microSD expandability, 4G LTE capabilities, as well as IP57 dust protection and waterproofing.

All-in-all the external, internals and camera appear to be pretty similar to the original Z1’s.

The device is rumored to launch later this month, so be sure to check back as Cult of Android will be bringing you coverage of the event, if and when it is announced.
