Sony Xperia Z Review – Harshad Singla

Sony Xperia Z -Harshad Singla

Finally Sony Xperia Z has launched in India with its awesome features and its looks. The Xperia Z is a phone that’s got us fired up about Sony Mobile again. Sony Xperia Z is really banking on making a cataclysmic dent in the makeup of the smartphone market. The early signs it will do so are promising: a quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon Krait processor, 13MP camera, 16GB storage (expandable, woohoo!), 2GB RAM, water and dust-resistant, 1080p HD screen with Bra-via Engine, LTE and many more. As soon as we took our review unit{Harshad Singla & Himanshu Goel} out of the box, we were mesmerized. This feels and looks like a premium, high quality product. Sony is one of the few manufacturers that can take what is, effectively, a plain black square and make it into something beautiful. Manufactured from piano black, high gloss glass both front and black, it could have come from the same stable as the Google Nexus4.
