With the Sony Xperia Z you can experience the best of Sony in a smartphone. A precision engineered IP55 & IP57 rated Android smartphone with an endless list of features that will keep you connected and productive should you choose to buy.

The Xperia Z from Sony has a razor sharp 5" full HD reality display (1920 x 1080p) with 443ppi. Built with advanced BRAVIA Engine 2 screen technology, the screen brings to life those accurate colours and sharper photos captured on the 13 megapixel camera. Sony have brought the touch panel closer to the display, this OptiContrast panel makes for less reduction and clearer viewing whilst also giving you are far more intuitive experience. The screen itself is scratch resistant, as you would expect of a device that has an IP rating.

What does the IP rating mean? Well it means that it will be protected against dust ingression and immersion in water up to 1m in depth. Whether you are sporty or prone to dropping your phone in the sink, this protection should avoid any unnecessary insurance claims.

Sony has always produced good quality cameras on their smartphone and the 13 megapixel fast capture camera on the Z is no exception. Built using technology and expertise from leading cameras from Sony such as Exmore RS for mobile this will not fail to impress. The worlds first image sensor with HDR video for smartphone the camera lets you capture sharp photos and full HD video, even in bright sunlight.

With video calling & self portraits becoming ever more popular the Xperia Z caters for this too with a front facing 2.2 megapixel full HD camera. To ensure the best images are captured at all times, Sony have built in Superior Auto mode which is optimised for 36 different scenes, activating HDR and noise reduction when needed. For those hard to capture, fast moving action shots, use Burst mode and capture 10 frames per second.

High end screen and camera, next is the high end processor. A quad-core processor no less, clocked at 1.5GHz with 2GB of RAM for a super fast performance, especially when it comes to gaming and web browsing with the introduction of Adreno 320 GPU for outstanding graphics! The intelligent processor makes use of the four cores as and when it needs them to give you best performance and maximum battery life.

Sony have added battery STAMINA mode to assist in you getting for times longer standby times. When the screen is off, your phone automatically shuts down the battery-draining apps you don’t need, then starts them up again when the screen is back on. And of course, since you don’t want to miss any important reminders or notifications, you can choose which apps to keep running even when the screen is off.

On board memory and microSD memory card slot give plenty of storage space, you can store and share things with the cloud. Utilise the on board 4G/LTE (subject to network & software version) 3G or WiFi connections to share your content with social networks and more.

At 7.9mm in thickness the Xperia Z feels slim in hand but is strong and sturdy and designed to resist daily use. The water and dust resistance adds to the Xperia Z's durability. The front and back of the device is made from durable tempered glass with anti-shatter films and a reflective glass surface giving you that premium appearance. The Xperia Z is as tough as it is beautiful.

High end phones come with high end features. One-Touch mirroring gives you instant entertainment. Easily display the contents of your phone on the display of your NFC enabled BRAVIA TV for a wireless experience like no other. If you do not have the NFC enabled BRAVIA TV then using an MHL TV adapter (sold separately) is the way forward to share the content of your phone with a HD display. The Smart Connect feature allows you to set up how your Smartphone behaves when it connects to other devices. Features include your music player opening when your ear phones are connected, organising your SmartWatch, or activating your alarm clock when you place your Xperia Z on your charging dock before you go to sleep. Smart connect is the software that lets you manage all your smart accessories

Sony Xperia Z Review

Below are a few quotes from our Sony Xperia Z Review. To read the full review, please click here.

"With a 5” display there is no denying that you are not going to miss this device. It is big, but well proportioned in comparison to the competition."

"At 7.9mm thick, the Xperia Z is positively thin and feels such. It is quite impressive how thin it is considering all the kit inside."

"We had the device in a bowl of water, in a hot tub, in a shower, in a sink, in a puddle and under a running tap and it continued to work."

Recommend to a friend? Yes "I'm using Xperia Z for 7 weeks - nice design, perfect perfomance, 100% reliability. With a 64GB memory card it has enough storage for all my needs (I've got one inexpensively from Clove). MINUSES: - NOKIA navigation is a little bit better, also SONY PC COMPANION is not so good as NOKIA SUITE. - Sony player do not read all types of video files, so you have to install additional programm (like a BSPlayer) to watch .mkv movies. I am satisfied for 100% with Xperia Z; and I'm glad to rate Clove with 5 stars for prompt feedback and delivery."

Recommend to a friend? Yes "This phone is perfect, very good design, quality, and specs. Just like another devices, this device got some good sides and bad ones: Good: Design, quality, HUGE Screen, FAST, SMOOTH, and stable. BAD: Internal memory should be bigger. Unlocked bootloader means NO SONY BRAVIA ENGINE. (For Me!) I don't like the Sony user interface, (like the Sense more). "

Recommend to a friend? Yes "The most powerful and "balanced" phone on the market. The colours of screen are really have more clear "natural" colours and "quiet" tone compared to AMOLED/Super AMOLED... The viewing angles are acceptable for me... Also many thanks to Clove for support and excellent work."

Recommend to a friend? Yes "The Xperia Z (I got from Clove) is the perfect replacement to my Xperia T (also from Clove!) This device is beautiful inside and out. Build quality is excellent, feels premium to the hand and performance is really topnotch. Although the speaker's placement needs a little bit of getting used to (to avoid muffling the sound), overall the device is awesome! "

Recommend to a friend? No "I got this phone from Clove last week who I must say have excellent service top marks here. Sadly I had to return the phone and was not impressed at all I work in the technology area and have used every smartphone work using, lucky me hai! I found the earpiece is not designed properly you have to hold the phones earpiece exactly on the entrance to the ear canal and any deviance as met with a huge drop in audio quality and I often had to ask the caller to repeat themselves even wit the volume turned up to max. I think this is due to the minute speaker used and the waterproof membrane used to cover the the speaker. In. U opinion is very poor. The main speaker also didn't perform any better with plenty of vibration when turned up more than. 3/4 another f a mental flaw in the design is the positioning of the man speaker I found it so easy to cover the speaker with my feeds due to is position this became a real pain!! The screen is gorgeous but viewing angles are so poor and I fond the display too washed out for my liking. Sony have designed a good product but the plastic clips covering the ports will become a pain for some people especially the headphone port I envisage many people will break that clip in the near future. I found the battery life below average but I only had he phone for 2 days so cannot be sure is not various settings the device also heated up a little more than I expected. Overall a good attempt by Sony but I honestly feel this the has se major design errors they have tried to revolutionise various design aspects but n doing so have missed some basics. Top marks to Clove for quickly sorting out a return I eagerly await he htc one."
