Xperia Z - 5.0 TFT 1920 x 1080, GSM, UMTS, LTE, 1.5 GHz Qualcomm APQ8064+MDM9215M Quad Core, 2 GB RAM, 13.1 MP, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Android 4.1
<b>HDR video camera</b>
Xperia Z features Exmor RS™ for mobile, the world’s first image sensor with HDR video for smartphones, so you can take beautiful stills and movies even against strong light.
<b>13-megapixel camera</b>
The 13 megapixel fast-capture camera and the next-generation Sony Exmor RS™ for mobile sensor makes Xperia Z the Android mobile that delivers crystal clear photos wherever, whenever.
<b>Great in all light conditions</b>
With Exmor RS™ for mobile and HDR, Xperia Z takes sharp photos and videos both in lowlight and strongly backlit conditions. The lowlight sensors on front and back make it the first dual Exmor R™ for mobile camera.
<b>Superior Auto</b>
Not a pro with settings? Superior Auto mode automatically activates HDR and noise reduction when they’re needed.
<b>Smart, sleek & durable</b>
No one knows how to best pack durability into a beautiful design like Sony. The slim 7.9 mm body, with its reflective glass surface, looks and feels slick, but Xperia Z is crafted to be water-resistant, dust-resistant and tough enough to handle whatever life has planned.
<b>Water-resistant</b>
How can we be certain? In order to get the high IP55 & IP57 rating, we submerge Xperia Z under water for 30 minutes – and make sure it’s good as new when it comes out. It’s also resistant to water jets!
<b>Tough as metal</b>
How solid does a precision engineered smartphone need to be? How about as solid as a car? Xperia Z’s frame is made from glass fibre polyamide, the same material that’s used as a metal substitute in automobile parts.
<b>Durable glass</b>
The durable tempered glass on front and back is a lot stronger than conventional glass. And with anti-shatter film on the front and back, Xperia Z is anything but fragile.
<b>Dust-resistant</b>
Since we can’t take every Android smartphone outdoors, we bring the dust tests to our labs. Before we label Xperia Z dust-resistant, we hang it in a dust-test chamber and make sure its operation is unaffected.
<b>OmniBalance design</b>
The design is focused on creating balance and symmetry in all directions. Xperia Z has beautiful rounded edges and smooth, reflective surfaces on all sides, which are held together by an innovative skeleton frame.
<b>One touch to entertainment</b>
Discover the quick and easy way to wirelessly share music and photos from your smartphone. One-touch mirroring with NFC technology lets you easily see content on your phone, on your TV. Just touch your phone to your BRAVIA® remote control and watch your photo or music pop up on the TV screen. No cables, no buttons, no confusion.
