The Sony Xperia Z is a very powerful Android smartphone, and is pretty much on the same level as the HTC Butterfly in terms of performance. But, the fact that the Xperia Z is slightly taller and wider than the HTC Butterfly may not be ideal for quite a few users.

Refreshing design; Water and dust resistant build; Very good performance; Full HD display is impressive; Excellent camera; Redone UI is neat and more streamlined

Still not the very latest Android version; Glass back is prone to scratches

There's a lot to like about the Sony Xperia Z. It is the strongest Android phone that Sony has produced to date, fusing power, design and features. We don't find Sony's customisations to be too intrusive and the attention to battery life is to be welcomed.

Display; design; power control options; Sony's UI isn't offensive; waterproof

Camera performance is average; might be too big for some

Sony has really got its act together with its latest smartphone – the Xperia Z – which would have to rank as the best to ever sport the Sony brand. The feature-packed device looks like it was thoughtfully put together after calling on the various parts of the company to contribute their best...

I bought this phone on aug 2015, this phone is very bad............ totally wastage of money....

1; light weight, 2; nice look, 3; good speed, 4; water proof some extant, 5; 2 GB ram

1; Bad camera, 2.bad loud speaker, 3; 4.4 kit does not support, it hangs, 4; front camera is good as comparing to rear, 5; wastage of money in this price, 6; Faster draining of battery in 3G, 7; Back panel Heating issue, 8; 13.1 MP is totally fake

Sony's mantle as one of the major smartphone manufacturers has slipped a little in recent years, but it still produces some outstanding handsets. The Xperia Z is just such a creature, with a powerful quad-core processor, 13-megapixel camera, 4G and a feast of extras.

Terrific screen; powerful processor; fine camera; waterproof; dust resistant

Have to wait for 4.2 Jelly Bean; runs hot; no HDMI port

Sony is back in the cutting-edge smartphone business with the Xperia Z. Its 5-inch screen has an amazing resolution, and it just might be the fastest phone available.

Excellent and convincing design and device craftsmanship; Very high display resolution; Outstanding performance; especially while playing games and reproducing multimedia; Dust and water proof

Display has poor contrast and viewing angles; Slow camera start; Imprecise scrolling of heavier web sites

The Xperia Z is quite possibly the only Sony smartphone that has ever stirred up a genuine buzz before its release. Boasting a 5in, full HD 1080p display, a 13-megapixel camera and water and dust-resistance, the glass-clad Xperia Z is easily the best smartphone Sony has ever produced.

Boasting a 5in, full HD 1080p display, excellent performance, good battery life and water and dust-resistance, the glass-clad Xperia Z is easily the best smartphone Sony has ever produced. It's only let down by a poor quality loudspeaker and a screen that has lacklusture viewing angles.

Dust and water resistant; Excellent performance & UI; Good battery life;

Lacklusture viewing angles; Poor quality loudspeaker; Camera app slow to open;

Sony didn't really have the chance to give the Galaxy S3 and HTC One X a good fight last year. This time around, they're looking to take some attention away from the top players by releasing better engineered products.

If you are getting this phone for 10$ also don't buy this product .. Its waste of money and time ... For that 10$ get some chilled bear and enjoy your day. that's more worth than buying this stupid product. Getting issues with the phone , but the customer care people also not ready to take care.
