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

Raiden, 09 Jan 2013Someone should come out with a comparison between this phon... moreOh com'on dude, when the competition is low HTC failed because of very poor marketing. Now competition is tight and they have nothing to offer. HTC one x+/DNA may have the best display, but who knows about what is it capable of, it may have 500ppi 1million degrees back to back viewing angle but they cant sell. The best thing for HTC to do now is fix their marketing. Who would buy HTC if it is known that they are heading to bankruptcy.

      AnonD-98491, 11 Jan 2013Your observation is poor...sorry :-)Right you are, it's rather the other way 'round (at least on all the google searched pics of Xperia Z vs Galaxy note II)

              I think you should compare with htc dna or butterfly since onex may not compete with screen resolution.

Its almost the same price with xperia s during the initial release but a little pricier. I think it is not fair to compare lg nexus.

                      Wow! Finally sony starts the show. I read a few review in this forum. Everyone is debating and starting false comparation childishly. Just let it born and grow until the market make the decission. Xperia Z, Note II, or even HTC X+, they are wonderful creation from genius masterpiece maker. The choosen people. Peace.

                            Looks like a nice phone. really wish it would be priced similarly to the nexus 4. Never owned a sony smartphone so I'm not sure how they are with updates.

                              am using samsung products not phones, and what i can say the price that they give is fair due to its quality. After one buy the new product dont think to use it more than that u'll cry.
                              sony its not like that, the price worth with its quality and u can use longer.

                                      [deleted post]I agree with you. There are many companies that source their LCD's from Sony for their mobile phone but have better viewing angles which proves the point. Still I feel Sony must leave it up to their customer's to chose what they want, as we can also use a privacy guard, if privacy is so much important for the end user.
