Sony unveiled its flagship smartphone of 2013 back in September, and a month later the device was available to purchase in the United Kingdom from several independent retailers for the fairly hefty price of £479.95. However, if you haven’t had the opportunity or the wherewithal to pick one up before now, it might be of interest for you to know that Simply Electronics is currently offering the slate with a £120 discount.

The Z1 is a very respectable high-end smartphone, packing a 5-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 (441 ppi pixel density), a 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, an Adreno 330 GPU, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (expandable up to 64GB via microSD), a 20.7-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 3,000 mAh battery.

The handset will ship running the latest build of Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean skinned with Sony’s Xperia custom user interface, but the device is expected to receive the 4.4 KitKat update in the not-too-distant future.
