The Sony Xperia Z is a high-end Android smartphone that has a very large 5-inch FULL HD screen with a bezelled design. This makes this smartphone very appealing to the eye. It is currently available in white and black. The back of this device is glass that looks similar to the iPhone 4S. It also features a rubber edging around the smartphone, which protects the device in case it is dropped or bumped.
The Sony Xperia Z is water and dust resistant and the device’s 5 inch full 1080p HD display is wonderful for browsing the web and watching videos. The ultra quick quad-core CPU makes multitasking a breeze while the 13.1 mega-pixel camera can capture incredible detail in all lighting conditions.
The Xperia Z is a 4G capable device so when you’re in 4G coverage areas you can enjoy superfast downloads and streaming of video. The Xperia Z has been awarded Telstra’s blue tick, meaning it will provide superior reception in low signal areas.
One of the most exciting features of the Xperia Z is that this mobile phone is that it is Water and dust resistant with specially strengthened glass on both the front and back, so you won’t need to worry about accidental spills or taking the device on an off-road adventure. You can use this phone while in the shower, and the touchscreen works with wet fingers. Tests have been done to prove that this phone really is waterproof, and many people are excited by this fact. This does not mean you should drop it in a large amount of water and expect it to work perfectly for you.
This phone also features a 13-megapixel camera, Snapdragon S4 quad-core processor, and it is only 7.9 millimeters thick, which makes it very lightweight and easy to slip into your pocket. This phone runs on the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
The 13.1 megapixel camera comes with Sony’s advanced chipset and allows you to capture razor sharp and crystal clear images in low light and backlit conditions. You can then view these your precious moments on the device’s 5 inch full 1080p HD screen display.
The Xperia Z offers new ways to share information with near field communication (NFC) technology and Android Beam making this possible. You can share your contacts, web pages, directions and more with a simple touch and tap. You just touch your Xperia Z to another NFC-enabled Android device, then tap the screen to beam.
The only drawback to this phone may be the length of the battery life, but hopefully an update in the future will improve this feature.
