Water and dust resistant, Classical styling, Immersive display
All ports under flaps, Mediocre battery life, Gets warm with intensive use
The Sony Xperia Z may be the best phone out right now, but that isn't to say it's perfect. Thanks to its weather proofing, it will be the only viable super phone out there for anyone whose business requires they be exposed to the elements...
We couldn't wait to drop the Xperia Z in a jug of water - So we did, Stunning display quality from the full 1080p screen, supported by the Bravia Engine 2 (the same engine used in the Bravia range of TV's). The 5" screen boasts post-400 PPI, or Pixels Per
