CES 2013: Sony Xperia Z and Xperia ZL hands-on

07 January 2013
In 2012, Sony found itself behind the pace, offering its first dual-core droids just a few weeks before the competition switched to quad-core architectures. Keen to catch up... Update: hands-on videos added

goutham, 13 Jan 2013Is videocalling optional inn Xperia Zu can have video calling in xperia and in many other android devices. if you don't have the features you're looking for out of the box, you can install apps. if you can't use google play for installing apps, there are loads of apk files online you can download on your computer and install on your android smartphone. you just have to think. your smartphone shouldn't be smarter than its user.

        Can't wait till mwc when Sony should announce some xperia p/u equivalent like they did last year because if I buy a new phone this year it will probably be one like that.

          I am honest to say that I prefer Sony than Samsung. so what are your preference? I prefer Quality over so many Features which is limited in real world use. :-)

            "Honesty is actually the villain of being hypocrite." What I love about Sony phones are feature-directed devices. And everything they introduce a certain features it became their TRADEMARK and BRAND NAME. I'm not against to any phone manufacturer's like Sammy. but for me when I used gadgets made by Sony, I am very satisfied and really worth buying because of QUALITY. Thank you. :-)

                    This phone is damn near perfect...save for the s4 processor...1.5ghz is last years standard, Sony must future proof it's phone so that consumers wont be upset when future phones come out w/ better specs

                        Just came across this video in youtube: Xperia Z crash test.
                        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBNEEE-O_J4

                        Though I could not understand what they are speaking, the video shows that Xperia Z withstand a drop from some good height.
                        What more can I want now, Water proof, Dust proof, Durable, Premium Sexy look, Powerful Hardware, 'Sony' Brand name, Exmor RS sensor, Full HD Reality Display......
                        This is gonna be the best phone till date.

They used to give ex... moreThe note2 and xperia z are the same price (in my country you can preorder it) and the xperia z has a far better camera and it's waterproof and it's designed better the only thing better about the note2 is the stylus, the rest is all preference so it is far from over priced, in fact I don't think any Sony phones are (except a few non nxt series 2012 phones, I'm
                          looking at you xperia Miro).

                                    Sony is always the last to upgrade it's OS. 2012 flagship Xperia S gets it ICS update in end September 2012 with loads of bugs. Now Jelly Bean will only be coming end March 2013, 9 months after Android relaeses it. Even their own camera software remains buggy till today. Recently Timescape facebook updating konked mid December 2012, still no fix while 3rd party has already produce a patch. You MUST have extreme patient to consider owning Sony phones.

                                        Probably the best phone of Q1 2013 and today. But S4 will eat it if Sony doesn't come with something. Z = great design, camera, processor, RAM, waterproof and battery is good.
