sounds like the true sucessor for t/tx, similar updated specs, this is the xperia a ( for japanese market) international except that xperia has essential removeable battery like TX( called gx in japan)

      Come on guys the chances of a removable battery and being water resistant is quite slim

        I bet Sony didn't get the battery stamina up again. If it's as terrible as the battery management of the Xperia Z, the ZR isn't worth it. Removable battery, please, at least if that's the case again. Prove me wrong, Sony.

          i thought this is the answer to GSMArena's petition to small screen size and a flagship specs. good job Sony.

                Have been waiting for over two hours for this phone to be updated on gsmarena....

                Its awesome with all its features and even a camera button on a waterproof phone but its volume h\key isn't proerly spaced! So know I don't like it....

                    Sony xperia Z , even though it is Full HD, it suffers with poor contrast levels which results in poor display. Atleast in this model they can correct that issue

                        If this is at the same price range as xperia SP it will be really nice!

                          If Sony could slap this one with 2300mAh, it'll complete the range :) Alternative to SP.

                          Sony characteristics for 2013 :
                          8MP/13MP Exmor RS
                          Relatively big battery (~2300mAh)
                          Lumination/Notification LED
                          OmniBalance Design Language

                              the Spec seems to be nice One

                                Interesting, Sony expands their portofolio with resistant waterproof devices and with very little compromises. A nice trend, this.
                                I am very interested to see the new display in real life conditions...
