Mysterious 'Xperia Z1s' shows up on Sony's website, disappears just as quickly Nov 11th 2013, 17:35, by Alex Wagner In the mood to start your week with a mystery? I hope you’ve got your deerstalker on and your Sherlock Holmes impression ready, because a mystery is precisely what I’ve got for you this morning. An unannounced device referred to as the “Xperia Z1s” recently popped up on Sony’s official website, complete with a render and tagline similar to the flagship Xperia Z1. XperiaBlog managed to snag a screengrab of the phone before it disappeared, but unfortunately for those of us interested in learning more about the Z1s, the link associated with the device led to a dead end. The true identity of the Xperia Z1s remains shrouded in a fog for now, but it’s been suggested that the device could be a shrunken version of the aforementioned Xperia Z1. The two devices share the same image and tagline in the screenshot above, and it’s also worth noting that Sony and Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo introduced a miniaturized version of the Z1 known as the “Xperia Z1 f” earlier this year. This Xperia Z1s could end up being a variant of the Xperia Z1 f that’s headed for the shelves of some international markets. Of course, this is all speculation for now, but hopefully this brief appearance on Sony’s website means that the Xperia Z1s’s official debut is getting close. Stay tuned. Moto X with Moto Maker now available to all major US carriers, starts at $99.99 Nov 11th 2013, 16:46, by Alex Wagner I hope you spent this past weekend getting your creative side ready for a workout, because Motorola just announced that the Moto Maker customization tool is now available to all four major US carriers. After launching exclusively with the AT&T-flavored Moto X back at the end of August, Moto Maker is now opened up to customers on Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon as of today. Moto Maker gives consumers the ability to alter the Moto X’s back and front colors as well as the hue of its camera ring and volume buttons. Users can also include either 16GB or 32GB of built-in storage, select a default wallpaper and add a unique boot screen message. In addition to the expanded availability of Moto Maker, Motorola has slashed the price of the Moto X to $99.99 with a two-year contract for the 16GB model or $149.99 for the more capacious 32GB variant. Consumers who prefer to avoid signing a commitment can expect to pony up $499.99 or $549.99, depending on how much built-in storage they’d like. The Moto X news doesn’t stop there! Motorola says that it plans to update the Moto X to Android 4.4 KitKat “soon,” which is a piece of news that ought to please both current Moto X owners as well as those thinking about pulling the trigger now that Moto Maker includes all four major US carriers. Taking into consideration the impending update as well as the expanded availability of Moto Maker and the aforementioned price cut, it looks like now might be as good a time as any to snag Motorola’s flagship handset. Do any of you plan on reaching for your wallet as soon as you’re done reading this post?
