What do I lose by unlocking bootloader?
How much of this is significant?

Warranty - YES. I believe it is significant.
DRM keys, whatever they are - are they significant? In what way?
Bravia engine - how much of real life difference does it make?

I am pretty frustrated by the lack of any useful rooting solution without unlocking. My phone is always running short of memory and I cant install so many games and applications.

I think here's the deal breaker. For expensive phones this might be an issue.

How can I update my Sony Z1? Everytime I try to update it sees I need a PC.
Also I want to explore more features of my Z1 Camera since I'm new. Any ideas?

Looks like they Hired the guys from HTC

Sony has launched the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, the mini variant of its 2013 flagship phone the Xperia Z1, in India today. The company had announced the phone at CES 2014 last month.

The smartphone is priced at Rs.36,990. It is powered by a 2.2GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with an Adreno 330 GPU. The phone comes with Android 4.3 out of the box and has 2GB of RAM. Some special features of the phone include a 4.3 inch HD TFT display with Triluminous and X-Reality technology, a 20.7MP auto-focus camera powered by an Exmor RS image sensor capable of taking full HD videos, and water and dust resistance.


The phone is available in Lime, Pink, White and Black colours. It comes with 16GB of internal storage expandable upto 64GB through the provided memory card slot. The phone has a 2300mAh battery and has a 2MP front facing camera. The dimensions of the phone are 127 x 64.9 x 9.5 mm and weighs 137 grams.

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is Sony's answer to other manufacturers like Samsung and HTC, which also launched mini versions of their flagship smartphones of 2013. Samsung launched the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and HTC launched the HTC One mini. Now with the release of Xperia Z1 Compact, Sony clearly seems to have an upper hand when it comes to mini versions of flagship smartphones.
