| Xperia Z -Front and Back Side view |
Nonetheless, at its heart the Xperia Z is just another Android phone – standing out against the excellent Samsung Galaxy SIII, LG’s Nexus 4, made in conjunction with Google itself, and HTC’s One X+ is a challenge.
It’s one that in the brief time I’ve spent with the Xperia Z, Sony seems more than ready to take on. Its 5” screen is as good if not better than any currently on the market elsewhere, its camera is a 13MP beast that takes superb images in low light and normal conditions. But with its big display and its rectangular shape, the Xperia Z feels like a particularly big device. If you're used to the Apple iPhone, even in its latest incarnation, the difference is stark.
Perhaps most significant, however, is Sony’s bid to get users to engage with its content: recommending what you should watch from its vast library and allowing it to work as a remote control for your TV. If Sony can convince viewers, then the Xperia Z is a lot more than just a phone.

No one knows how to best pack durability into a beautiful design like Sony. The slim 7.9 mm body, with its reflective glass surface, looks and feels slick, but Xperia Z is crafted to be water-resistant, dust-resistant and tough enough to handle whatever life has planned.Water-resistant
How can we be certain? In order to get the high IP55 & IP57 rating, we submerge Xperia Z under water for 30 minutes – and make sure it’s good as new when it comes out. It’s also resistant to water jets!Tough as metal
How solid does a precision engineered smartphone need to be? How about as solid as a car? Xperia Z’s frame is made from glass fibre polyamide, the same material that’s used as a metal substitute in automobile parts.Durable glass
The durable tempered glass on front and back is a lot stronger than conventional glass. And with anti-shatter film on the front and back, Xperia Z is anything but fragile.Dust-resistant
Since we can’t take every Android smartphone outdoors, we bring the dust tests to our labs. Before we label Xperia Z dust-resistant, we hang it in a dust-test chamber and make sure its operation is unaffected.OmniBalance design
The design is focused on creating balance and symmetry in all directions. Xperia Z has beautiful rounded edges and smooth, reflective surfaces on all sides, which are held together by an innovative skeleton frame.One touch to entertainment

Expertise from our BRAVIA® TV engineers goes into our mobile screens, to bring you the same quality you’d expect from a top quality HDTV.

And with the wide colour gamut it gives you the widest colour spectrum, so you can view every detail in vivid colour.True Screen intelligence – Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2
The second generation of our acclaimed Mobile BRAVIA® Engine, Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 delivers an even better viewing experience by adding new real-time contrast optimisation to the sharpness enhancement, high-quality colour management and noise reduction. Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 is also able to analyse content type and adjust the image accordingly. Adding Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 to the Reality Display makes for the most intelligent smartphone screen – one that adapts automatically to display your content in the best way.(1) Contrast enhancement
Contrast in images and video is enhanced by making the darkest parts slightly darker, which brings out details in the picture.(2) Colour Management
Colour saturation is increased for specified colour ranges, which makes the colours deeper and more vivid. And the intelligent Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 software reproduces skin colour exactly as it appears to the naked eye.(3) Noise reduction
Distortion and noise is reduced when streaming low-quality video from online sources, such as YouTube. Noise is reduced both to individual frames and between frames, for clearer viewing.(4) Sharpness filter
Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 applies a sharpness filter to increase the overall detail level in the image. This is done by enhancing the edges and contrast without increasing noise
