The Sony Xperia Z boasts a thin, attractive design that's also dust- and water-resistant. It's equipped with a big, bright screen and 4G LTE, takes great pictures, and has sharp call quality
The Sony Xperia Z's battery life is short, its camera is slow, and its processor is not as peppy as those found in other flagship phones. Its glossy chassis attracts fingerprints easily
The Sony Xperia Z makes sense if a water-resistant design and excellent photos are a priority, but skip it if you demand blazingly fast performance and long battery life.
Dustproof and waterproof to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes, 13megapixel camera, Stylish design with tempered glass front and back, Huge, gorgeous 5inch screen at 1920x1080p and 443 pixels per inch
Camera's lowlight and panorama performance was a little disappointing, TMobile's LTE network needs to expand to more cities, Running Android 4.1.1 at launch, instead of the most recent 4.2.2 (Sony promises an upgrade)

During my time with the Xperia Z, I really did grow to love it. I like the design of the phone, it feels good in the hand, the minimal and mysterious black slab that it is. I'm a big fan of minimal design and the Xperia Z is quite easily the most “mini...
Abstract: Hate:The shots you take, or the video you film, looks great on the Xperia Z's screen. Actually, anything looks pretty good on this screen because it's exceptionally high-resolution (443ppi, against 324ppi on the already pretty impressive iPhone 5 screen)...
Attractive design, full HD 5" display, pleasing UI and software customizations
All glass phones make us nervous, no 4G LTE in US for unlocked model
Sony's top smartphones get better with every generation, and the Xperia Z is a worthy contender to fight the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4. Fans of the Xperia line and Sony's software will no doubt love the phone, with the possible exception of ba...
Abstract: The Sony Xperia Z is Sony's flagship Android smartphone, and this time they really mean it. Previous Sony and Sony Ericsson Android smartphones have always lacked truly all around high end specs, but the Xperia Z has all the right ingredients. Of course, ...
