Sony Xperia J1 Compact: The Phantom Pain Edition coming to Japan on September 3

Sony’s Xperia J1 Compact: Phantom Pain Edition was made official today in Japan, with a set release date of September 2, a day after Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is available to buy on the PC and consoles.

Keep in mind that this is the same device released in Japan back in March, only now, it’s being designed after the much-anticipated Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, a title extremely popular among the Japanese community.

It features the same 4.3-inch 1280 x 720 display, a Snapdragon 800 chipset, a quad-core 2.2GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage, a 20.7-megapixel camera, a 2.2-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 2,300mAh battery.

Besides that, the only real differences you will see is a lot of bundled software content related to Metal Gear Solid V, such as a art book in PDF format, a voucher to purchase web comics, and so on.

The device will sell for 59,800 yen, which translates to about $480 USD. There’s no doubt that this particular edition will be limited to Asian markets. However, you’ll no doubt be able to get your hands on it through unofficial channels, such as eBay.

It’s not as likely to see as much attention as the Galaxy S6 Edge: Iron Man Edition saw, but it’s still a nice looking device from Sony.
