Sony Xperia Z Review

Sony Xperia Z

Sony Xperia Z 

First waterproof phone released by Sony.This phone is priced at 21000-24000 INR and was released in 2013 February ,still the design looks classy.This phone is still a demanding phone with some special features in it which makes it stand away from crowd phone.Phone really looks and feels premium out of the box.Prices have being cut short because it was long ago released  and can be a good buy if you want to feel high class in a low budget.You can get this phone even cheaper from online stores so it can be a good buy.Reviewing this phone was a great opportunity for us and would like to have these kind of phones with some different and high standard design in the market.

Our Review

Phone feels very premium the moment you took the phone out of the box.It is covered by tempered glass on its back and sides.Phone has a 5 inch Full HD display which is pretty bright and creates sharp image,having tempered glass on its back has some disadvantages too,it makes fingerprint on it which does not look good.Phone has a 13 megapixel rear camera and a 2.2 megapixel front camera,both have auto-focus and rear camera performs strongly.It produces good sharp images even in lowlight and has a good auto focus speed.Phone also gets latest updates swiftly and makes  phone smoother with every update.Phones glass is shatter proof and will will not break even when phone falls down.Special feature of this phone is that this phone is water resistant and dust resistant.Phone is water resistant for 1 meter and 30 minutes though the touch doesnt works in water.Viewing angles of this phone is not so good as images get black at off angles.One more con of this phone is that it comes with Android Jellybean so u have to update it to android Lollipop.Qualcomm MDM9215M / APQ8064 Chipset ,Quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU and Adreno 320 GPU which makes it a powerful phone and lags very little.Phone has a 2330 mAh which is ok but not soo good.In all this phone can be a lavish buy.
