Sony Xperia ZL review: Off the bench

24 April 2013
Having finally scored a homerun, and a desperately needed one at that, Sony is keen to bring another hitter off the bench. And they sure hope it’s the Cadillac-driving kind. The Japanese mean business – and the Xperia Z did its best to get that point...

AnonD-30650, 24 Apr 2013i am looking forward buying a new smartphone fr my birthday... moreYou should go to Samsung/HTC/Sony store and try on the display unit, try all 4 of them and get the one that you think it is the best to you.

Keep in mind that the review is just the "point-of-view of GSMARENA". I'm not saying that GSMARENA's review is bad/not professional, but what GSMARENA think it is good/bad may not be the same to you. Let's say GSMARENA think that the A's screen is better than B but you may not.

Thus, try them all personally, it is far better than hearing 100 professional opinions without trying them.

Good luck.

    AnonD-111968, 24 Apr 2013The WEAKEST part of ZL is the sealed and poor battery. SON... moreyou are exactly right!! the reason why i will stick with my xperia. Its pathetic to have a phone with good features but incapable of fully enjoying/use it because of battery drain..i nearly bought a motorola razr maxx but the processor wasnt good enough. I will only buy a phone with a min 3000mAH battery but until then forget it

        The WEAKEST part of ZL is the sealed and poor battery. SONY you NEED to IMPROVE in this area. This phone is almost 10mm thick, you could have put at least 3000mAh removable battery.
