The world’s best camera in a waterproof smartphone*  
Sharper. Clearer. Brighter. That’s what Sony’s industry leading compact digital cameras give you. And  
now with Xperia™ Z1, we have created a groundbreaking smartphone built with the very same  
components, giving you the most stellar picture and video quality possible. By combining the large 1/2.3”  
20.7MP Exmor RS™ for mobile image sensor, Sony’s award-winning G Lens, and intelligent BIONZ™ for  
mobile image processing engine, the results are nothing less than amazing. The light-sensitive 27mm wide  
angle lens comes with an aperture of F2.0. Wide apertures mean that bokeh – the way the lens renders  
out-of-focus points of light – will be naturally incorporated in images produced. The large high sensitivity  
sensor is made exclusively for Xperia™ Z1 and is equivalent to the sensor size used in Sony’s Cyber-  
shot™ digital still cameras, which together with the intelligent noise reduction capabilities of the image  
processing engine and the sensitive ISO 6400 enables incredibly clear low-light pictures without  
sacrificing detail. The high pixel resolution, aspherical lens and BIONZ™ for mobile super resolution  
technology enables zoom without quality loss - just like an optical zoom, while the high shutter speed  
reduces any risk of blurry footage. Images are delivered with super sharpness, clarity and brightness.  
*Xperia™ Z1 features a camera combining the world’s largest image sensor (1/2.3 inches) with the highest  
resolution (20.7MP) in a waterproof smartphone. It also includes the brightest lens (F2.0) available in a slim  
(8.5mm) waterproof (IPX5/IPX8) smartphone. Specifications verified by Strategy Analytics’ SpecTRAX  
service as of 10th of May 2013. For more information on Strategy Analytics results, go to:  
www.sonymobile.com/testresults/.  
The best colour and sharpness ever  
Built with the latest Sony BRAVIA® technologies optimised for mobile, Xperia™ Z1 incorporates a large  
high-resolution 5” Full HD TRILUMINOS™ Display for mobile, for a wider palette of rich, natural colours –  
just like having a broader range of colour pencils to draw from. With Sony’s exclusive X-Reality™ for  
mobile picture engine, everything you watch – from HD movies to web videos and photos – is analysed  
and selectively processed to deliver clean, clear, and lifelike pictures. In addition, the Intelligent Super  
Resolution technology finds and reproduces lacking pixels, so you’ll always be able to enjoy the sharpest  
videos, preventing your entertainment from being spoiled by low resolution videos. The display comes  
with a 1920 x 1080 progressive scan, for incredibly crisp pictures free of jagged edges. Paired with a pixel  
density of 441 pixels per inch, you get pictures that are razor sharp and incredibly bright.  
Smart, sleek and waterproof*  
Building upon the rich history of Sony’s craftsmanship, Xperia™ Z1 has been carefully crafted using only  
clean lines and premium materials. With OmniBalance™ design, this smartphone offers balance and  
symmetry in all directions, creating a smartphone that feels wonderful to hold in every angle. Both the  
front and back are made of durable tempered glass, reflecting the world around you while allowing you to

get so immersed in content that the hardware virtually disappears. The innovative solid one-piece  
aluminium frame is designed without breaks, creating a completely seamless expression. Paired with the  
Magnetic Charging Dock DK31, charging is made smooth and comfortable, with no need to open a USB  
cap. And due to its IP55/IP58 rating, this slim and sleek smartphone is both water and dust resistant. In  
fact, even the headphone jack is waterproof. For a smartphone that is just as breathtaking as it is tough.  
*In compliance with IP55 and IP58, Xperia™ Z1 is protected against the ingress of dust and is waterproof.  
Provided that all the covers for the micro USB port, the micro SIM slot and the memory card slot are firmly  
closed, the phone is (i) protected against low pressure jets of water from all practicable directions in  
compliance with IP55; and/or (ii) can be kept under 1.50 metres of freshwater for up to 30 minutes in  
compliance with IP58. For more information, go to www.sonymobile.com/xperia-z1-waterresistant.  
Blazing fast performance  
Performance that never lets you down. Isn’t that what we’re all craving for? With Xperia™ Z1, that’s  
exactly what you get. With the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 800 quad-core 2.2 Ghz processor with  
2GB RAM, this smartphone comes with ultra-fast performance and breathtaking graphics. So stream your  
favourite YouTube™ clips and download the latest podcasts.  
Better battery life  
Smartphones use a lot of power, even when you’re not actively using them. All those apps that you have  
on your phone may still be running in the background, draining your battery. Battery STAMINA Mode  
saves you wasted battery drain. It recognises when you’re not using your display and automatically turns  
off the functions you don’t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power  
button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again. So not only do you have an enormous  
3000 mAh battery, Battery STAMINA Mode helps you cleverly maximise every bit of that energy.  
Social live – broadcast your precious moments live  
Your best friend’s wedding. Your child’s first steps. That winning goal. With Social live, you can broadcast  
every precious moment as it happens live via Facebook. Get your friend’s response right on the screen  
and keep the conversation going, all in real-time. So go ahead and let Xperia™ Z1 erase the distance and  
bring together the people that matter to you most.

White paper | Xperia™ Z1  
Memory in Android™ devices  
To use Android devices efficiently, users should be aware of the different types of device memory. This  
knowledge is important in order to understand, for example, where music, photos and videos are saved;  
how many apps can be downloaded from Google Play™; and how photos can be copied to a PC.  
The below information is also of interest to developers who want to optimise their programs to make the  
best possible use of the resources in the device.  
Generally, all Android devices share the same basic memory setup. What differs is how much memory is  
available to you via the different types of memory, and whether your device uses an external SD card or an  
internal memory chip. Any information specific to the particular device model described in this White  
Paper is noted as such.  
Types of memory  
The types of memory described and numbered below are consistent with the terminology used in Sony  
mobile device menus and in other content relating to 2013 Xperia™ devices:  
1. Dynamic Memory (also known as RAM) is used by applications that run when the device is turned on.  
The amount of Dynamic Memory influences how many applications and operating system services can  
run at the same time. The Android operating system automatically closes applications and services  
that are not being used.  
However, such automatic functionality has limits. For example, if a lower amount of free RAM is  
available to applications after a new release of the operating system (due to increased capabilities in  
the system), device speed will eventually be impacted. This is the main reason that a device cannot be  
indefinitely upgraded to newer releases of Android™.  
If you experience problems with RAM, for example, if the device runs slower than usual or if the Home  
application restarts frequently when you leave an application, you should minimise the use of apps that  
run all the time. Such apps could include, for example, applications that frequently download social  
networking service updates. You could also consider using a static wallpaper instead of a live  
wallpaper.  
To see which apps and services are currently active, go to Settings > Apps > Running. You should  
have at least 50 MB, and ideally 100 MB or more, of free RAM to avoid slowdowns and application  
restarts.  
You should also be aware that if you update the device to a later Android release, the load on the built-  
in Dynamic Memory will increase due to the addition of more features, as mentioned above. As a  
result, the device may run slower after an update.  
The Xperia™ Z1 has about 2 GB of RAM available to the Android OS and applications, of which about  
200 MB is already used out of the box.  
2. System Memory (also known as “System partition” or “/system”) is used for the Android OS and for  
most applications that are pre-loaded from the factory. This type of memory is normally locked, and  
can only be changed through a firmware upgrade. There is usually some free space available in this  
section of memory. However, since it is locked, you cannot save apps, photos or any other content to  
this memory. System Memory is reserved for future firmware upgrades, which almost always need  
more memory than the original firmware. You cannot see or influence the use of this memory.  
3. Internal Storage is memory used as” working” memory. It can be compared to the C: drive on a PC  
or to the startup disk on a Mac.

This type of memory is used to store all application downloaded from the Google Play™ Store (and  
other sources) as well as their settings and data (such as emails, messages and calendar events, for  
example). All applications have an allocated area which no other applications can access and where  
the application data can be stored.  
Some game applications also store content such as game music and game level information outside  
their own designated area. In most cases, an application can choose to save its data in a location of its  
own choosing (outside the protected application settings area). Generally, such content is not deleted  
when an application is uninstalled; it must be removed manually by connecting the device to a  
computer with a USB cable, or by using a file manager application.  
Internal Storage is also used for all user content added, for example, as a result of the user taking  
photos with the camera, downloading media files, and performing file transfers. Typical user content  
includes:  
• photos  
• movies  
• music  
• downloaded documents (as email attachments, for example)  
Internal Storage will tend to fill up as a result of normal usage. Examples of such usage are the saving  
of data by applications; the downloading and installation of new applications; the downloading of free  
or paid content; and the shooting of pictures and movies. Therefore, the larger this memory is from the  
start, the more applications you can download and use, and the more pictures and movies you can  
shoot.  
If the Internal Storage starts to get full, the device slows down, and in some cases it might no longer be  
possible to install more apps. You should always ensure that you have at least 100 MB of free Internal  
Storage. If not, you should consider removing some apps that you seldom use, or move content that  
you do not frequently access to safe storage.  
You can see approximately how much Internal Storage is free in Settings > Storage > DEVICE  
MEMORY. You can also view more detail about how much memory is used by applications in  
Settings > Apps. In the Xperia™ Z1, about 12 GB of Internal Storage is available out of the box.  
Please note that in Sony Mobile 2013 products, “Internal Storage” is now the combination of what was  
previously known as “Device Memory” or “Phone Memory” (for applications and their data – also  
previously known as “/data”) and “Internal Storage” (for user’s content – also previously known as “/  
sdcard”). The reason for this change is to make the use of available memory more flexible, and also to  
enable the optional encryption of user’s content.  
Memory card slot  
In some products you may find both a large internal memory and a memory card reader slot. However, on  
the current Android platform, the card reader slot does not work in the same manner in a device with a  
large internal memory as it does in a device with ONLY a memory card slot.  
Generally, since most applications expect only a single location for storage, such applications will not  
generally allow you to SAVE anything to the memory card (i.e., they do not offer the option to choose a  
storage location). However, some applications (for instance, the Sony Mobile “Camera” application) may  
actually allow you to do so. Other applications, for example, backup applications such as the Sony Mobile  
“Memory” application, will by definition be configured to copy content from the Internal Storage to the  
external SD card.

White paper | Xperia™ Z1  
On the other hand, when it comes to reading from an external SD Card, you will be able to access content  
(for example, videos, photos and music) on a memory card inserted in this slot without any special  
consideration since the Android system searches all available memory for content. Therefore, such  
products may be regarded as supporting a fourth type of memory, called “External Card” or “SD Card”.  
4. SD Card (known as “/ext_card” from a programmer’s point of view, or by other names in other Android  
products) is the name for the removable SD memory card in all 2013 Sony Mobile products. As  
described above, this External Card memory is generally more limited in that any application can read  
from it, but many applications cannot save to this card. Only a few applications, including backup  
applications and file manger applications, have the capability to save to this card.  
Backing up data to different memory types  
Generally, you should not save photos, videos and other personal content solely on the internal memory  
of a device. If something should happen with the hardware, or if the device is lost or stolen, the data  
stored on the device’s internal memory is gone forever.  
In a device where an SD card reader is the main memory, it is relatively easy to take the card out and copy  
all content to a PC or Mac, or to an entertainment device with a memory card slot. In a product featuring  
Internal Storage as the main memory, it is not possible to physically remove the memory. Instead, any  
critical or high-value content must either be copied to an external SD card by a special backup  
application, transferred to remote storage over a network (mobile or Wi-Fi), or to a computer via a USB  
cable.  
To facilitate the transfer of data via a cable, the Xperia™ Z1 supports the Microsoft standard, Media  
Transfer Protocol (MTP), which makes it possible to easily transfer content back and forth between your  
device and a Windows PC. For Apple Mac computers, a special application called Sony™ Bridge for Mac  
is available with built-in support for MTP. This application can be downloaded from the Xperia™ Z1  
Support page.  
Note that you do not need to back up or make a copy of applications that you have downloaded from the  
Google Play™ Store. They can normally be downloaded again after you have set up your Google account  
to work in a new device (or in a device where the memory has been completely erased).  
Note 1:  
As noted above, some Android devices, including Sony Mobile devices from 2012 and Sony Ericsson  
devices from 2011 and earlier, do not use a single “Internal Storage” for both applications (and their data)  
and user content. Instead, these devices use either an external SD card for user content, or a  
corresponding area of internal memory to reproduce the functionality of an SD card. In such devices, there  
is a fixed limit between the application area (“/data”) and the user content area (“/sdcard”), with the result  
that user content can build up and reach this limit. The consequence of such a limit being reached, for  
example, for the camera application, would be that no new pictures could be taken even if there was still a  
considerable amount of free space in the application area (or in the user content area). In such an  
instance, the download and installation of new applications would also not be possible, even if there was  
enough free memory in the content area.  
Note 2:  
Some devices with integrated storage have abandoned the distinction between the application area and  
the content area when it comes to a Factory Data Reset. As a result, there is no option in such devices to  
perform a Factory Data Reset and preserve content. In such devices, all content is mandatorily and  
completely deleted from the device when a reset is performed.  
In contrast, Sony Mobile’s memory integration solution makes it possible to preserve user content in this  
situation. Therefore, when performing a Factory Data Reset, the default action will still be to only remove  
applications and their data, and an option box must be checked if all content is to be removed as well (as  
might be desirable when selling the device second-hand, for instance).

Note 3:  
For a developer, it is important to note that from a programming point of view the location names used to  
refer to the different memory areas described in Note 1 are still valid, i.e., the area used for applications (“/  
data”) is still present, as is the area used for content (“/sdcard”).  
In reality, “sdcard” is a so-called “symbolic link” to “/data/media”. However, from inside an Android  
application, “/sdcard” can still be used. For example, you can use “sdcard/DCIM/100Android” to find all  
camera images. The continued use of “/sdcard” to access the content area ensures compatibility across  
different products and Android releases in this regard.

The world’s best camera in a waterproof smartphone*  
Sharper. Clearer. Brighter. That’s what Sony’s industry leading compact digital cameras give you. And  
now with Xperia™ Z1, we have created a groundbreaking smartphone built with the very same  
components, giving you the most stellar picture and video quality possible. By combining the large 1/2.3”  
20.7MP Exmor RS™ for mobile image sensor, Sony’s award-winning G Lens, and intelligent BIONZ™ for  
mobile image processing engine, the results are nothing less than amazing. The light-sensitive 27mm wide  
angle lens comes with an aperture of F2.0. Wide apertures mean that bokeh – the way the lens renders  
out-of-focus points of light – will be naturally incorporated in images produced. The large high sensitivity  
sensor is made exclusively for Xperia™ Z1 and is equivalent to the sensor size used in Sony’s Cyber-  
shot™ digital still cameras, which together with the intelligent noise reduction capabilities of the image  
processing engine and the sensitive ISO 6400 enables incredibly clear low-light pictures without  
sacrificing detail. The high pixel resolution, aspherical lens and BIONZ™ for mobile super resolution  
technology enables zoom without quality loss - just like an optical zoom, while the high shutter speed  
reduces any risk of blurry footage. Images are delivered with super sharpness, clarity and brightness.  
*Xperia™ Z1 features a camera combining the world’s largest image sensor (1/2.3 inches) with the highest  
resolution (20.7MP) in a waterproof smartphone. It also includes the brightest lens (F2.0) available in a slim  
(8.5mm) waterproof (IPX5/IPX8) smartphone. Specifications verified by Strategy Analytics’ SpecTRAX  
service as of 10th of May 2013. For more information on Strategy Analytics results, go to:  
www.sonymobile.com/testresults/.  
The best colour and sharpness ever  
Built with the latest Sony BRAVIA® technologies optimised for mobile, Xperia™ Z1 incorporates a large  
high-resolution 5” Full HD TRILUMINOS™ Display for mobile, for a wider palette of rich, natural colours –  
just like having a broader range of colour pencils to draw from. With Sony’s exclusive X-Reality™ for  
mobile picture engine, everything you watch – from HD movies to web videos and photos – is analysed  
and selectively processed to deliver clean, clear, and lifelike pictures. In addition, the Intelligent Super  
Resolution technology finds and reproduces lacking pixels, so you’ll always be able to enjoy the sharpest  
videos, preventing your entertainment from being spoiled by low resolution videos. The display comes  
with a 1920 x 1080 progressive scan, for incredibly crisp pictures free of jagged edges. Paired with a pixel  
density of 441 pixels per inch, you get pictures that are razor sharp and incredibly bright.  
Smart, sleek and waterproof*  
Building upon the rich history of Sony’s craftsmanship, Xperia™ Z1 has been carefully crafted using only  
clean lines and premium materials. With OmniBalance™ design, this smartphone offers balance and  
symmetry in all directions, creating a smartphone that feels wonderful to hold in every angle. Both the  
front and back are made of durable tempered glass, reflecting the world around you while allowing you to

get so immersed in content that the hardware virtually disappears. The innovative solid one-piece  
aluminium frame is designed without breaks, creating a completely seamless expression. Paired with the  
Magnetic Charging Dock DK31, charging is made smooth and comfortable, with no need to open a USB  
cap. And due to its IP55/IP58 rating, this slim and sleek smartphone is both water and dust resistant. In  
fact, even the headphone jack is waterproof. For a smartphone that is just as breathtaking as it is tough.  
*In compliance with IP55 and IP58, Xperia™ Z1 is protected against the ingress of dust and is waterproof.  
Provided that all the covers for the micro USB port, the micro SIM slot and the memory card slot are firmly  
closed, the phone is (i) protected against low pressure jets of water from all practicable directions in  
compliance with IP55; and/or (ii) can be kept under 1.50 metres of freshwater for up to 30 minutes in  
compliance with IP58. For more information, go to www.sonymobile.com/xperia-z1-waterresistant.  
Blazing fast performance  
Performance that never lets you down. Isn’t that what we’re all craving for? With Xperia™ Z1, that’s  
exactly what you get. This smartphone supports super-fast LTE networks, giving you access to  
entertainment anytime and anywhere. With the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 800 quad-core 2.2 Ghz  
processor with 2GB RAM, this smartphone comes with ultra-fast performance and breathtaking graphics.  
So stream your favourite YouTube™ clips and download the latest podcasts.  
Better battery life  
Smartphones use a lot of power, even when you’re not actively using them. All those apps that you have  
on your phone may still be running in the background, draining your battery. Battery STAMINA Mode  
saves you wasted battery drain. It recognises when you’re not using your display and automatically turns  
off the functions you don’t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power  
button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again. So not only do you have an enormous  
3000 mAh battery, Battery STAMINA Mode helps you cleverly maximise every bit of that energy.  
Social live – broadcast your precious moments live  
Your best friend’s wedding. Your child’s first steps. That winning goal. With Social live, you can broadcast  
every precious moment as it happens live via Facebook. Get your friend’s response right on the screen  
and keep the conversation going, all in real-time. So go ahead and let Xperia™ Z1 erase the distance and  
bring together the people that matter to you most.

White paper | Xperia™ Z1  
Memory in Android™ devices  
To use Android devices efficiently, users should be aware of the different types of device memory. This  
knowledge is important in order to understand, for example, where music, photos and videos are saved;  
how many apps can be downloaded from Google Play™; and how photos can be copied to a PC.  
The below information is also of interest to developers who want to optimise their programs to make the  
best possible use of the resources in the device.  
Generally, all Android devices share the same basic memory setup. What differs is how much memory is  
available to you via the different types of memory, and whether your device uses an external SD card or an  
internal memory chip. Any information specific to the particular device model described in this White  
Paper is noted as such.  
Types of memory  
The types of memory described and numbered below are consistent with the terminology used in Sony  
mobile device menus and in other content relating to 2013 Xperia™ devices:  
1. Dynamic Memory (also known as RAM) is used by applications that run when the device is turned on.  
The amount of Dynamic Memory influences how many applications and operating system services can  
run at the same time. The Android operating system automatically closes applications and services  
that are not being used.  
However, such automatic functionality has limits. For example, if a lower amount of free RAM is  
available to applications after a new release of the operating system (due to increased capabilities in  
the system), device speed will eventually be impacted. This is the main reason that a device cannot be  
indefinitely upgraded to newer releases of Android™.  
If you experience problems with RAM, for example, if the device runs slower than usual or if the Home  
application restarts frequently when you leave an application, you should minimise the use of apps that  
run all the time. Such apps could include, for example, applications that frequently download social  
networking service updates. You could also consider using a static wallpaper instead of a live  
wallpaper.  
To see which apps and services are currently active, go to Settings > Apps > Running. You should  
have at least 50 MB, and ideally 100 MB or more, of free RAM to avoid slowdowns and application  
restarts.  
You should also be aware that if you update the device to a later Android release, the load on the built-  
in Dynamic Memory will increase due to the addition of more features, as mentioned above. As a  
result, the device may run slower after an update.  
The Xperia™ Z1 has about 2 GB of RAM available to the Android OS and applications, of which about  
200 MB is already used out of the box.  
2. System Memory (also known as “System partition” or “/system”) is used for the Android OS and for  
most applications that are pre-loaded from the factory. This type of memory is normally locked, and  
can only be changed through a firmware upgrade. There is usually some free space available in this  
section of memory. However, since it is locked, you cannot save apps, photos or any other content to  
this memory. System Memory is reserved for future firmware upgrades, which almost always need  
more memory than the original firmware. You cannot see or influence the use of this memory.  
3. Internal Storage is memory used as” working” memory. It can be compared to the C: drive on a PC  
or to the startup disk on a Mac.

White paper | Xperia™ Z1  
This type of memory is used to store all application downloaded from the Google Play™ Store (and  
other sources) as well as their settings and data (such as emails, messages and calendar events, for  
example). All applications have an allocated area which no other applications can access and where  
the application data can be stored.  
Some game applications also store content such as game music and game level information outside  
their own designated area. In most cases, an application can choose to save its data in a location of its  
own choosing (outside the protected application settings area). Generally, such content is not deleted  
when an application is uninstalled; it must be removed manually by connecting the device to a  
computer with a USB cable, or by using a file manager application.  
Internal Storage is also used for all user content added, for example, as a result of the user taking  
photos with the camera, downloading media files, and performing file transfers. Typical user content  
includes:  
• photos  
• movies  
• music  
• downloaded documents (as email attachments, for example)  
Internal Storage will tend to fill up as a result of normal usage. Examples of such usage are the saving  
of data by applications; the downloading and installation of new applications; the downloading of free  
or paid content; and the shooting of pictures and movies. Therefore, the larger this memory is from the  
start, the more applications you can download and use, and the more pictures and movies you can  
shoot.  
If the Internal Storage starts to get full, the device slows down, and in some cases it might no longer be  
possible to install more apps. You should always ensure that you have at least 100 MB of free Internal  
Storage. If not, you should consider removing some apps that you seldom use, or move content that  
you do not frequently access to safe storage.  
You can see approximately how much Internal Storage is free in Settings > Storage > DEVICE  
MEMORY. You can also view more detail about how much memory is used by applications in  
Settings > Apps. In the Xperia™ Z1, about 12 GB of Internal Storage is available out of the box.  
Please note that in Sony Mobile 2013 products, “Internal Storage” is now the combination of what was  
previously known as “Device Memory” or “Phone Memory” (for applications and their data – also  
previously known as “/data”) and “Internal Storage” (for user’s content – also previously known as “/  
sdcard”). The reason for this change is to make the use of available memory more flexible, and also to  
enable the optional encryption of user’s content.  
Memory card slot  
In some products you may find both a large internal memory and a memory card reader slot. However, on  
the current Android platform, the card reader slot does not work in the same manner in a device with a  
large internal memory as it does in a device with ONLY a memory card slot.  
Generally, since most applications expect only a single location for storage, such applications will not  
generally allow you to SAVE anything to the memory card (i.e., they do not offer the option to choose a  
storage location). However, some applications (for instance, the Sony Mobile “Camera” application) may  
actually allow you to do so. Other applications, for example, backup applications such as the Sony Mobile  
“Memory” application, will by definition be configured to copy content from the Internal Storage to the  
external SD card.

White paper | Xperia™ Z1  
On the other hand, when it comes to reading from an external SD Card, you will be able to access content  
(for example, videos, photos and music) on a memory card inserted in this slot without any special  
consideration since the Android system searches all available memory for content. Therefore, such  
products may be regarded as supporting a fourth type of memory, called “External Card” or “SD Card”.  
4. SD Card (known as “/ext_card” from a programmer’s point of view, or by other names in other Android  
products) is the name for the removable SD memory card in all 2013 Sony Mobile products. As  
described above, this External Card memory is generally more limited in that any application can read  
from it, but many applications cannot save to this card. Only a few applications, including backup  
applications and file manger applications, have the capability to save to this card.  
Backing up data to different memory types  
Generally, you should not save photos, videos and other personal content solely on the internal memory  
of a device. If something should happen with the hardware, or if the device is lost or stolen, the data  
stored on the device’s internal memory is gone forever.  
In a device where an SD card reader is the main memory, it is relatively easy to take the card out and copy  
all content to a PC or Mac, or to an entertainment device with a memory card slot. In a product featuring  
Internal Storage as the main memory, it is not possible to physically remove the memory. Instead, any  
critical or high-value content must either be copied to an external SD card by a special backup  
application, transferred to remote storage over a network (mobile or Wi-Fi), or to a computer via a USB  
cable.  
To facilitate the transfer of data via a cable, the Xperia™ Z1 supports the Microsoft standard, Media  
Transfer Protocol (MTP), which makes it possible to easily transfer content back and forth between your  
device and a Windows PC. For Apple Mac computers, a special application called Sony™ Bridge for Mac  
is available with built-in support for MTP. This application can be downloaded from the Xperia™ Z1  
Support page.  
Note that you do not need to back up or make a copy of applications that you have downloaded from the  
Google Play™ Store. They can normally be downloaded again after you have set up your Google account  
to work in a new device (or in a device where the memory has been completely erased).  
Note 1:  
As noted above, some Android devices, including Sony Mobile devices from 2012 and Sony Ericsson  
devices from 2011 and earlier, do not use a single “Internal Storage” for both applications (and their data)  
and user content. Instead, these devices use either an external SD card for user content, or a  
corresponding area of internal memory to reproduce the functionality of an SD card. In such devices, there  
is a fixed limit between the application area (“/data”) and the user content area (“/sdcard”), with the result  
that user content can build up and reach this limit. The consequence of such a limit being reached, for  
example, for the camera application, would be that no new pictures could be taken even if there was still a  
considerable amount of free space in the application area (or in the user content area). In such an  
instance, the download and installation of new applications would also not be possible, even if there was  
enough free memory in the content area.  
Note 2:  
Some devices with integrated storage have abandoned the distinction between the application area and  
the content area when it comes to a Factory Data Reset. As a result, there is no option in such devices to  
perform a Factory Data Reset and preserve content. In such devices, all content is mandatorily and  
completely deleted from the device when a reset is performed.  
In contrast, Sony Mobile’s memory integration solution makes it possible to preserve user content in this  
situation. Therefore, when performing a Factory Data Reset, the default action will still be to only remove  
applications and their data, and an option box must be checked if all content is to be removed as well (as  
might be desirable when selling the device second-hand, for instance).

Note 3:  
For a developer, it is important to note that from a programming point of view the location names used to  
refer to the different memory areas described in Note 1 are still valid, i.e., the area used for applications (“/  
data”) is still present, as is the area used for content (“/sdcard”).  
In reality, “sdcard” is a so-called “symbolic link” to “/data/media”. However, from inside an Android  
application, “/sdcard” can still be used. For example, you can use “sdcard/DCIM/100Android” to find all  
camera images. The continued use of “/sdcard” to access the content area ensures compatibility across  
different products and Android releases in this regard.

The world’s best camera in a waterproof smartphone*  
Sharper. Clearer. Brighter. That’s what Sony’s industry leading compact digital cameras give you. And  
now with Xperia™ Z1, we have created a groundbreaking smartphone built with the very same  
components, giving you the most stellar picture and video quality possible. By combining the large 1/2.3”  
20.7MP Exmor RS™ for mobile image sensor, Sony’s award-winning G Lens, and intelligent BIONZ™ for  
mobile image processing engine, the results are nothing less than amazing. The light-sensitive 27mm wide  
angle lens comes with an aperture of F2.0. Wide apertures mean that bokeh – the way the lens renders  
out-of-focus points of light – will be naturally incorporated in images produced. The large high sensitivity  
sensor is made exclusively for Xperia™ Z1 and is equivalent to the sensor size used in Sony’s Cyber-  
shot™ digital still cameras, which together with the intelligent noise reduction capabilities of the image  
processing engine and the sensitive ISO 6400 enables incredibly clear low-light pictures without  
sacrificing detail. The high pixel resolution, aspherical lens and BIONZ™ for mobile super resolution  
technology enables zoom without quality loss - just like an optical zoom, while the high shutter speed  
reduces any risk of blurry footage. Images are delivered with super sharpness, clarity and brightness.  
*Xperia™ Z1 features a camera combining the world’s largest image sensor (1/2.3 inches) with the highest  
resolution (20.7MP) in a waterproof smartphone. It also includes the brightest lens (F2.0) available in a slim  
(8.5mm) waterproof (IPX5/IPX8) smartphone. Specifications verified by Strategy Analytics’ SpecTRAX  
service as of 10th of May 2013. For more information on Strategy Analytics results, go to:  
www.sonymobile.com/testresults/.  
The best colour and sharpness ever  
Built with the latest Sony BRAVIA® technologies optimised for mobile, Xperia™ Z1 incorporates a large  
high-resolution 5” Full HD TRILUMINOS™ Display for mobile, for a wider palette of rich, natural colours –  
just like having a broader range of colour pencils to draw from. With Sony’s exclusive X-Reality™ for  
mobile picture engine, everything you watch – from HD movies to web videos and photos – is analysed  
and selectively processed to deliver clean, clear, and lifelike pictures. In addition, the Intelligent Super  
Resolution technology finds and reproduces lacking pixels, so you’ll always be able to enjoy the sharpest  
videos, preventing your entertainment from being spoiled by low resolution videos. The display comes  
with a 1920 x 1080 progressive scan, for incredibly crisp pictures free of jagged edges. Paired with a pixel  
density of 441 pixels per inch, you get pictures that are razor sharp and incredibly bright.  
Smart, sleek and waterproof*  
Building upon the rich history of Sony’s craftsmanship, Xperia™ Z1 has been carefully crafted using only  
clean lines and premium materials. With OmniBalance™ design, this smartphone offers balance and  
symmetry in all directions, creating a smartphone that feels wonderful to hold in every angle. Both the  
front and back are made of durable tempered glass, reflecting the world around you while allowing you to

get so immersed in content that the hardware virtually disappears. The innovative solid one-piece  
aluminium frame is designed without breaks, creating a completely seamless expression. Paired with the  
Magnetic Charging Dock DK31, charging is made smooth and comfortable, with no need to open a USB  
cap. And due to its IP55/IP58 rating, this slim and sleek smartphone is both water and dust resistant. In  
fact, even the headphone jack is waterproof. For a smartphone that is just as breathtaking as it is tough.  
*In compliance with IP55 and IP58, Xperia™ Z1 is protected against the ingress of dust and is waterproof.  
Provided that all the covers for the micro USB port, the micro SIM slot and the memory card slot are firmly  
closed, the phone is (i) protected against low pressure jets of water from all practicable directions in  
compliance with IP55; and/or (ii) can be kept under 1.50 metres of freshwater for up to 30 minutes in  
compliance with IP58. For more information, go to www.sonymobile.com/xperia-z1-waterresistant.  
Blazing fast performance  
Performance that never lets you down. Isn’t that what we’re all craving for? With Xperia™ Z1, that’s  
exactly what you get. This smartphone supports super-fast LTE networks, giving you access to  
entertainment anytime and anywhere. With the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 800 quad-core 2.2 Ghz  
processor with 2GB RAM, this smartphone comes with ultra-fast performance and breathtaking graphics.  
So stream your favourite YouTube™ clips and download the latest podcasts.  
Better battery life  
Smartphones use a lot of power, even when you’re not actively using them. All those apps that you have  
on your phone may still be running in the background, draining your battery. Battery STAMINA Mode  
saves you wasted battery drain. It recognises when you’re not using your display and automatically turns  
off the functions you don’t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power  
button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again. So not only do you have an enormous  
3000 mAh battery, Battery STAMINA Mode helps you cleverly maximise every bit of that energy.  
Social live – broadcast your precious moments live  
Your best friend’s wedding. Your child’s first steps. That winning goal. With Social live, you can broadcast  
every precious moment as it happens live via Facebook. Get your friend’s response right on the screen  
and keep the conversation going, all in real-time. So go ahead and let Xperia™ Z1 erase the distance and  
bring together the people that matter to you most.

White paper | Xperia™ Z1  
Memory in Android™ devices  
To use Android devices efficiently, users should be aware of the different types of device memory. This  
knowledge is important in order to understand, for example, where music, photos and videos are saved;  
how many apps can be downloaded from Google Play™; and how photos can be copied to a PC.  
The below information is also of interest to developers who want to optimise their programs to make the  
best possible use of the resources in the device.  
Generally, all Android devices share the same basic memory setup. What differs is how much memory is  
available to you via the different types of memory, and whether your device uses an external SD card or an  
internal memory chip. Any information specific to the particular device model described in this White  
Paper is noted as such.  
Types of memory  
The types of memory described and numbered below are consistent with the terminology used in Sony  
mobile device menus and in other content relating to 2013 Xperia™ devices:  
1. Dynamic Memory (also known as RAM) is used by applications that run when the device is turned on.  
The amount of Dynamic Memory influences how many applications and operating system services can  
run at the same time. The Android operating system automatically closes applications and services  
that are not being used.  
However, such automatic functionality has limits. For example, if a lower amount of free RAM is  
available to applications after a new release of the operating system (due to increased capabilities in  
the system), device speed will eventually be impacted. This is the main reason that a device cannot be  
indefinitely upgraded to newer releases of Android™.  
If you experience problems with RAM, for example, if the device runs slower than usual or if the Home  
application restarts frequently when you leave an application, you should minimise the use of apps that  
run all the time. Such apps could include, for example, applications that frequently download social  
networking service updates. You could also consider using a static wallpaper instead of a live  
wallpaper.  
To see which apps and services are currently active, go to Settings > Apps > Running. You should  
have at least 50 MB, and ideally 100 MB or more, of free RAM to avoid slowdowns and application  
restarts.  
You should also be aware that if you update the device to a later Android release, the load on the built-  
in Dynamic Memory will increase due to the addition of more features, as mentioned above. As a  
result, the device may run slower after an update.  
The Xperia™ Z1 has about 2 GB of RAM available to the Android OS and applications, of which about  
200 MB is already used out of the box.  
2. System Memory (also known as “System partition” or “/system”) is used for the Android OS and for  
most applications that are pre-loaded from the factory. This type of memory is normally locked, and  
can only be changed through a firmware upgrade. There is usually some free space available in this  
section of memory. However, since it is locked, you cannot save apps, photos or any other content to  
this memory. System Memory is reserved for future firmware upgrades, which almost always need  
more memory than the original firmware. You cannot see or influence the use of this memory.  
3. Internal Storage is memory used as” working” memory. It can be compared to the C: drive on a PC  
or to the startup disk on a Mac.

White paper | Xperia™ Z1  
This type of memory is used to store all application downloaded from the Google Play™ Store (and  
other sources) as well as their settings and data (such as emails, messages and calendar events, for  
example). All applications have an allocated area which no other applications can access and where  
the application data can be stored.  
Some game applications also store content such as game music and game level information outside  
their own designated area. In most cases, an application can choose to save its data in a location of its  
own choosing (outside the protected application settings area). Generally, such content is not deleted  
when an application is uninstalled; it must be removed manually by connecting the device to a  
computer with a USB cable, or by using a file manager application.  
Internal Storage is also used for all user content added, for example, as a result of the user taking  
photos with the camera, downloading media files, and performing file transfers. Typical user content  
includes:  
• photos  
• movies  
• music  
• downloaded documents (as email attachments, for example)  
Internal Storage will tend to fill up as a result of normal usage. Examples of such usage are the saving  
of data by applications; the downloading and installation of new applications; the downloading of free  
or paid content; and the shooting of pictures and movies. Therefore, the larger this memory is from the  
start, the more applications you can download and use, and the more pictures and movies you can  
shoot.  
If the Internal Storage starts to get full, the device slows down, and in some cases it might no longer be  
possible to install more apps. You should always ensure that you have at least 100 MB of free Internal  
Storage. If not, you should consider removing some apps that you seldom use, or move content that  
you do not frequently access to safe storage.  
You can see approximately how much Internal Storage is free in Settings > Storage > DEVICE  
MEMORY. You can also view more detail about how much memory is used by applications in  
Settings > Apps. In the Xperia™ Z1, about 12 GB of Internal Storage is available out of the box.  
Please note that in Sony Mobile 2013 products, “Internal Storage” is now the combination of what was  
previously known as “Device Memory” or “Phone Memory” (for applications and their data – also  
previously known as “/data”) and “Internal Storage” (for user’s content – also previously known as “/  
sdcard”). The reason for this change is to make the use of available memory more flexible, and also to  
enable the optional encryption of user’s content.  
Memory card slot  
In some products you may find both a large internal memory and a memory card reader slot. However, on  
the current Android platform, the card reader slot does not work in the same manner in a device with a  
large internal memory as it does in a device with ONLY a memory card slot.  
Generally, since most applications expect only a single location for storage, such applications will not  
generally allow you to SAVE anything to the memory card (i.e., they do not offer the option to choose a  
storage location). However, some applications (for instance, the Sony Mobile “Camera” application) may  
actually allow you to do so. Other applications, for example, backup applications such as the Sony Mobile  
“Memory” application, will by definition be configured to copy content from the Internal Storage to the  
external SD card.

White paper | Xperia™ Z1  
On the other hand, when it comes to reading from an external SD Card, you will be able to access content  
(for example, videos, photos and music) on a memory card inserted in this slot without any special  
consideration since the Android system searches all available memory for content. Therefore, such  
products may be regarded as supporting a fourth type of memory, called “External Card” or “SD Card”.  
4. SD Card (known as “/ext_card” from a programmer’s point of view, or by other names in other Android  
products) is the name for the removable SD memory card in all 2013 Sony Mobile products. As  
described above, this External Card memory is generally more limited in that any application can read  
from it, but many applications cannot save to this card. Only a few applications, including backup  
applications and file manger applications, have the capability to save to this card.  
Backing up data to different memory types  
Generally, you should not save photos, videos and other personal content solely on the internal memory  
of a device. If something should happen with the hardware, or if the device is lost or stolen, the data  
stored on the device’s internal memory is gone forever.  
In a device where an SD card reader is the main memory, it is relatively easy to take the card out and copy  
all content to a PC or Mac, or to an entertainment device with a memory card slot. In a product featuring  
Internal Storage as the main memory, it is not possible to physically remove the memory. Instead, any  
critical or high-value content must either be copied to an external SD card by a special backup  
application, transferred to remote storage over a network (mobile or Wi-Fi), or to a computer via a USB  
cable.  
To facilitate the transfer of data via a cable, the Xperia™ Z1 supports the Microsoft standard, Media  
Transfer Protocol (MTP), which makes it possible to easily transfer content back and forth between your  
device and a Windows PC. For Apple Mac computers, a special application called Sony™ Bridge for Mac  
is available with built-in support for MTP. This application can be downloaded from the Xperia™ Z1  
Support page.  
Note that you do not need to back up or make a copy of applications that you have downloaded from the  
Google Play™ Store. They can normally be downloaded again after you have set up your Google account  
to work in a new device (or in a device where the memory has been completely erased).  
Note 1:  
As noted above, some Android devices, including Sony Mobile devices from 2012 and Sony Ericsson  
devices from 2011 and earlier, do not use a single “Internal Storage” for both applications (and their data)  
and user content. Instead, these devices use either an external SD card for user content, or a  
corresponding area of internal memory to reproduce the functionality of an SD card. In such devices, there  
is a fixed limit between the application area (“/data”) and the user content area (“/sdcard”), with the result  
that user content can build up and reach this limit. The consequence of such a limit being reached, for  
example, for the camera application, would be that no new pictures could be taken even if there was still a  
considerable amount of free space in the application area (or in the user content area). In such an  
instance, the download and installation of new applications would also not be possible, even if there was  
enough free memory in the content area.  
Note 2:  
Some devices with integrated storage have abandoned the distinction between the application area and  
the content area when it comes to a Factory Data Reset. As a result, there is no option in such devices to  
perform a Factory Data Reset and preserve content. In such devices, all content is mandatorily and  
completely deleted from the device when a reset is performed.  
In contrast, Sony Mobile’s memory integration solution makes it possible to preserve user content in this  
situation. Therefore, when performing a Factory Data Reset, the default action will still be to only remove  
applications and their data, and an option box must be checked if all content is to be removed as well (as  
might be desirable when selling the device second-hand, for instance).

Note 3:  
For a developer, it is important to note that from a programming point of view the location names used to  
refer to the different memory areas described in Note 1 are still valid, i.e., the area used for applications (“/  
data”) is still present, as is the area used for content (“/sdcard”).  
In reality, “sdcard” is a so-called “symbolic link” to “/data/media”. However, from inside an Android  
application, “/sdcard” can still be used. For example, you can use “sdcard/DCIM/100Android” to find all  
camera images. The continued use of “/sdcard” to access the content area ensures compatibility across  
different products and Android releases in this regard.

The world’s best camera in a waterproof smartphone*  
Sharper. Clearer. Brighter. That’s what Sony’s industry leading compact digital cameras give you. And  
now with Xperia™ Z1, we have created a groundbreaking smartphone built with the very same  
components, giving you the most stellar picture and video quality possible. By combining the large 1/2.3”  
20.7MP Exmor RS™ for mobile image sensor, Sony’s award-winning G Lens, and intelligent BIONZ™ for  
mobile image processing engine, the results are nothing less than amazing. The light-sensitive 27mm wide  
angle lens comes with an aperture of F2.0. Wide apertures mean that bokeh – the way the lens renders  
out-of-focus points of light – will be naturally incorporated in images produced. The large high sensitivity  
sensor is made exclusively for Xperia™ Z1 and is equivalent to the sensor size used in Sony’s Cyber-  
shot™ digital still cameras, which together with the intelligent noise reduction capabilities of the image  
processing engine and the sensitive ISO 6400 enables incredibly clear low-light pictures without  
sacrificing detail. The high pixel resolution, aspherical lens and BIONZ™ for mobile super resolution  
technology enables zoom without quality loss - just like an optical zoom, while the high shutter speed  
reduces any risk of blurry footage. Images are delivered with super sharpness, clarity and brightness.  
*Xperia™ Z1 features a camera combining the world’s largest image sensor (1/2.3 inches) with the highest  
resolution (20.7MP) in a waterproof smartphone. It also includes the brightest lens (F2.0) available in a slim  
(8.5mm) waterproof (IPX5/IPX8) smartphone. Specifications verified by Strategy Analytics’ SpecTRAX  
service as of 10th of May 2013. For more information on Strategy Analytics results, go to:  
www.sonymobile.com/testresults/.  
The best colour and sharpness ever  
Built with the latest Sony BRAVIA® technologies optimised for mobile, Xperia™ Z1 incorporates a large  
high-resolution 5” Full HD TRILUMINOS™ Display for mobile, for a wider palette of rich, natural colours –  
just like having a broader range of colour pencils to draw from. With Sony’s exclusive X-Reality™ for  
mobile picture engine, everything you watch – from HD movies to web videos and photos – is analysed  
and selectively processed to deliver clean, clear, and lifelike pictures. In addition, the Intelligent Super  
Resolution technology finds and reproduces lacking pixels, so you’ll always be able to enjoy the sharpest  
videos, preventing your entertainment from being spoiled by low resolution videos. The display comes  
with a 1920 x 1080 progressive scan, for incredibly crisp pictures free of jagged edges. Paired with a pixel  
density of 441 pixels per inch, you get pictures that are razor sharp and incredibly bright.  
Smart, sleek and waterproof*  
Building upon the rich history of Sony’s craftsmanship, Xperia™ Z1 has been carefully crafted using only  
clean lines and premium materials. With OmniBalance™ design, this smartphone offers balance and  
symmetry in all directions, creating a smartphone that feels wonderful to hold in every angle. Both the  
front and back are made of durable tempered glass, reflecting the world around you while allowing you to

get so immersed in content that the hardware virtually disappears. The innovative solid one-piece  
aluminium frame is designed without breaks, creating a completely seamless expression. Paired with the  
Magnetic Charging Dock DK31, charging is made smooth and comfortable, with no need to open a USB  
cap. And due to its IP55/IP58 rating, this slim and sleek smartphone is both water and dust resistant. In  
fact, even the headphone jack is waterproof. For a smartphone that is just as breathtaking as it is tough.  
*In compliance with IP55 and IP58, Xperia™ Z1 is protected against the ingress of dust and is waterproof.  
Provided that all the covers for the micro USB port, the micro SIM slot and the memory card slot are firmly  
closed, the phone is (i) protected against low pressure jets of water from all practicable directions in  
compliance with IP55; and/or (ii) can be kept under 1.50 metres of freshwater for up to 30 minutes in  
compliance with IP58. For more information, go to www.sonymobile.com/xperia-z1-waterresistant.  
Blazing fast performance  
Performance that never lets you down. Isn’t that what we’re all craving for? With Xperia™ Z1, that’s  
exactly what you get. This smartphone supports super-fast LTE networks, giving you access to  
entertainment anytime and anywhere. With the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 800 quad-core 2.2 Ghz  
processor with 2GB RAM, this smartphone comes with ultra-fast performance and breathtaking graphics.  
So stream your favourite YouTube™ clips and download the latest podcasts.  
Better battery life  
Smartphones use a lot of power, even when you’re not actively using them. All those apps that you have  
on your phone may still be running in the background, draining your battery. Battery STAMINA Mode  
saves you wasted battery drain. It recognises when you’re not using your display and automatically turns  
off the functions you don’t need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power  
button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again. So not only do you have an enormous  
3000 mAh battery, Battery STAMINA Mode helps you cleverly maximise every bit of that energy.  
Social live – broadcast your precious moments live  
Your best friend’s wedding. Your child’s first steps. That winning goal. With Social live, you can broadcast  
every precious moment as it happens live via Facebook. Get your friend’s response right on the screen  
and keep the conversation going, all in real-time. So go ahead and let Xperia™ Z1 erase the distance and  
bring together the people that matter to you most.

White paper | Xperia™ Z1  
Memory in Android™ devices  
To use Android devices efficiently, users should be aware of the different types of device memory. This  
knowledge is important in order to understand, for example, where music, photos and videos are saved;  
how many apps can be downloaded from Google Play™; and how photos can be copied to a PC.  
The below information is also of interest to developers who want to optimise their programs to make the  
best possible use of the resources in the device.  
Generally, all Android devices share the same basic memory setup. What differs is how much memory is  
available to you via the different types of memory, and whether your device uses an external SD card or an  
internal memory chip. Any information specific to the particular device model described in this White  
Paper is noted as such.  
Types of memory  
The types of memory described and numbered below are consistent with the terminology used in Sony  
mobile device menus and in other content relating to 2013 Xperia™ devices:  
1. Dynamic Memory (also known as RAM) is used by applications that run when the device is turned on.  
The amount of Dynamic Memory influences how many applications and operating system services can  
run at the same time. The Android operating system automatically closes applications and services  
that are not being used.  
However, such automatic functionality has limits. For example, if a lower amount of free RAM is  
available to applications after a new release of the operating system (due to increased capabilities in  
the system), device speed will eventually be impacted. This is the main reason that a device cannot be  
indefinitely upgraded to newer releases of Android™.  
If you experience problems with RAM, for example, if the device runs slower than usual or if the Home  
application restarts frequently when you leave an application, you should minimise the use of apps that  
run all the time. Such apps could include, for example, applications that frequently download social  
networking service updates. You could also consider using a static wallpaper instead of a live  
wallpaper.  
To see which apps and services are currently active, go to Settings > Apps > Running. You should  
have at least 50 MB, and ideally 100 MB or more, of free RAM to avoid slowdowns and application  
restarts.  
You should also be aware that if you update the device to a later Android release, the load on the built-  
in Dynamic Memory will increase due to the addition of more features, as mentioned above. As a  
result, the device may run slower after an update.  
The Xperia™ Z1 has about 2 GB of RAM available to the Android OS and applications, of which about  
200 MB is already used out of the box.  
2. System Memory (also known as “System partition” or “/system”) is used for the Android OS and for  
most applications that are pre-loaded from the factory. This type of memory is normally locked, and  
can only be changed through a firmware upgrade. There is usually some free space available in this  
section of memory. However, since it is locked, you cannot save apps, photos or any other content to  
this memory. System Memory is reserved for future firmware upgrades, which almost always need  
more memory than the original firmware. You cannot see or influence the use of this memory.  
3. Internal Storage is memory used as” working” memory. It can be compared to the C: drive on a PC  
or to the startup disk on a Mac.

This type of memory is used to store all application downloaded from the Google Play™ Store (and  
other sources) as well as their settings and data (such as emails, messages and calendar events, for  
example). All applications have an allocated area which no other applications can access and where  
the application data can be stored.  
Some game applications also store content such as game music and game level information outside  
their own designated area. In most cases, an application can choose to save its data in a location of its  
own choosing (outside the protected application settings area). Generally, such content is not deleted  
when an application is uninstalled; it must be removed manually by connecting the device to a  
computer with a USB cable, or by using a file manager application.  
Internal Storage is also used for all user content added, for example, as a result of the user taking  
photos with the camera, downloading media files, and performing file transfers. Typical user content  
includes:  
• photos  
• movies  
• music  
• downloaded documents (as email attachments, for example)  
Internal Storage will tend to fill up as a result of normal usage. Examples of such usage are the saving  
of data by applications; the downloading and installation of new applications; the downloading of free  
or paid content; and the shooting of pictures and movies. Therefore, the larger this memory is from the  
start, the more applications you can download and use, and the more pictures and movies you can  
shoot.  
If the Internal Storage starts to get full, the device slows down, and in some cases it might no longer be  
possible to install more apps. You should always ensure that you have at least 100 MB of free Internal  
Storage. If not, you should consider removing some apps that you seldom use, or move content that  
you do not frequently access to safe storage.  
You can see approximately how much Internal Storage is free in Settings > Storage > DEVICE  
MEMORY. You can also view more detail about how much memory is used by applications in  
Settings > Apps. In the Xperia™ Z1, about 12 GB of Internal Storage is available out of the box.  
Please note that in Sony Mobile 2013 products, “Internal Storage” is now the combination of what was  
previously known as “Device Memory” or “Phone Memory” (for applications and their data – also  
previously known as “/data”) and “Internal Storage” (for user’s content – also previously known as “/  
sdcard”). The reason for this change is to make the use of available memory more flexible, and also to  
enable the optional encryption of user’s content.  
Memory card slot  
In some products you may find both a large internal memory and a memory card reader slot. However, on  
the current Android platform, the card reader slot does not work in the same manner in a device with a  
large internal memory as it does in a device with ONLY a memory card slot.  
Generally, since most applications expect only a single location for storage, such applications will not  
generally allow you to SAVE anything to the memory card (i.e., they do not offer the option to choose a  
storage location). However, some applications (for instance, the Sony Mobile “Camera” application) may  
actually allow you to do so. Other applications, for example, backup applications such as the Sony Mobile  
“Memory” application, will by definition be configured to copy content from the Internal Storage to the  
external SD card.

On the other hand, when it comes to reading from an external SD Card, you will be able to access content  
(for example, videos, photos and music) on a memory card inserted in this slot without any special  
consideration since the Android system searches all available memory for content. Therefore, such  
products may be regarded as supporting a fourth type of memory, called “External Card” or “SD Card”.  
4. SD Card (known as “/ext_card” from a programmer’s point of view, or by other names in other Android  
products) is the name for the removable SD memory card in all 2013 Sony Mobile products. As  
described above, this External Card memory is generally more limited in that any application can read  
from it, but many applications cannot save to this card. Only a few applications, including backup  
applications and file manger applications, have the capability to save to this card.  
Backing up data to different memory types  
Generally, you should not save photos, videos and other personal content solely on the internal memory  
of a device. If something should happen with the hardware, or if the device is lost or stolen, the data  
stored on the device’s internal memory is gone forever.  
In a device where an SD card reader is the main memory, it is relatively easy to take the card out and copy  
all content to a PC or Mac, or to an entertainment device with a memory card slot. In a product featuring  
Internal Storage as the main memory, it is not possible to physically remove the memory. Instead, any  
critical or high-value content must either be copied to an external SD card by a special backup  
application, transferred to remote storage over a network (mobile or Wi-Fi), or to a computer via a USB  
cable.  
To facilitate the transfer of data via a cable, the Xperia™ Z1 supports the Microsoft standard, Media  
Transfer Protocol (MTP), which makes it possible to easily transfer content back and forth between your  
device and a Windows PC. For Apple Mac computers, a special application called Sony™ Bridge for Mac  
is available with built-in support for MTP. This application can be downloaded from the Xperia™ Z1  
Support page.  
Note that you do not need to back up or make a copy of applications that you have downloaded from the  
Google Play™ Store. They can normally be downloaded again after you have set up your Google account  
to work in a new device (or in a device where the memory has been completely erased).  
Note 1:  
As noted above, some Android devices, including Sony Mobile devices from 2012 and Sony Ericsson  
devices from 2011 and earlier, do not use a single “Internal Storage” for both applications (and their data)  
and user content. Instead, these devices use either an external SD card for user content, or a  
corresponding area of internal memory to reproduce the functionality of an SD card. In such devices, there  
is a fixed limit between the application area (“/data”) and the user content area (“/sdcard”), with the result  
that user content can build up and reach this limit. The consequence of such a limit being reached, for  
example, for the camera application, would be that no new pictures could be taken even if there was still a  
considerable amount of free space in the application area (or in the user content area). In such an  
instance, the download and installation of new applications would also not be possible, even if there was  
enough free memory in the content area.  
Note 2:  
Some devices with integrated storage have abandoned the distinction between the application area and  
the content area when it comes to a Factory Data Reset. As a result, there is no option in such devices to  
perform a Factory Data Reset and preserve content. In such devices, all content is mandatorily and  
completely deleted from the device when a reset is performed.  
In contrast, Sony Mobile’s memory integration solution makes it possible to preserve user content in this  
situation. Therefore, when performing a Factory Data Reset, the default action will still be to only remove  
applications and their data, and an option box must be checked if all content is to be removed as well (as  
might be desirable when selling the device second-hand, for instance).

Note 3:  
For a developer, it is important to note that from a programming point of view the location names used to  
refer to the different memory areas described in Note 1 are still valid, i.e., the area used for applications (“/  
data”) is still present, as is the area used for content (“/sdcard”).  
In reality, “sdcard” is a so-called “symbolic link” to “/data/media”. However, from inside an Android  
application, “/sdcard” can still be used. For example, you can use “sdcard/DCIM/100Android” to find all  
camera images. The continued use of “/sdcard” to access the content area ensures compatibility across  
different products and Android releases in this regard.
