We’ve always had a soft spot for Sony’s design - that obsession with black plastic and solid straight lines that somehow has come to embody design from the Japanese gadget giant.And while last year’s flagship Xperia S was just a bit too thick to compete
There’s no such problem here
This slick slab is just 7.9mm deep. Its large size isn’t for everyone - iPhone owners especially will struggle to

It's a tradeoff between design
Price or performance
Section of this review
The viewing angle isn't as high as other smartphones but that in no way means it suffers from a poor viewing angle. Even the uncomfortable width and thickness of the handset is not something which would deter me from owning one
A
Poor battery
Not a lot of storage space for the high price tag
Disappointing battery life
Hefty dustloving body won’t suit everyone
Sony bloatware
Disappointing Socialife app.
Display
Low contrast
Finger smudging.
Photo quality less than the best
Speaker location
All ports under flaps
Mediocre battery life
Gets warm with intensive use
The size will defeat some smaller hands and the waterproof socket covers are necessary but fiddly
Port flaps can be annoying
Call quality isn't great
Camera images are heavily processed
Gets hot with HD movies and 3D games
Screen is a bit disappointing when compared to other screens
No dedicated camera button
Waterproof flaps can be a pain at times
Below average battery life in use
Bulky dustlovin’ design isn’t for everyone
Sony bloatware and halfbaked Socialife app
The Sony Xperia Z's battery life is short
Its camera is slow
And its processor is not as peppy as those found in other flagship phones. Its glossy chassis attracts fingerprints easily
Camera performance is average
Might be too big for some
Non removable battery
Software bugs
Fair warning
While we like it
You might hate the design. If you prefer the sleek curves of the HTC One X’ chassis
The boxy look of the Xperia Z may be the very opposite of what you’re after.The waterproof doors also add some unnecessary clutter
If you don’t think you’re likely to take your phone swimming anytime soon
You might hate the extra fuss of having to prise open a flap every time you
Abstract: ソニーモバイル製「Xperia Z SO-02E」が発売された。5インチ、フルHD（1920×1080ドット）という高精細かつ大画面なディスプレイを装備し、さらに防水・防塵、おサイフケータイ、ワンセグなどを搭載しつつ、薄さ7.9mmというボディサイズに収めたハイスペックモデルだ。背面のガラス素材、そしてフラットな形状という外観も強いインパクトを与える。9日に発売されたモデルだが、今回は、発売前に試用した端末を写真中心でお伝えする。開発中の段階であるため、ユーザーインターフェイスでは製品版と異なる部分がある...
Abstract: 夢にまで見た究極のXPERIAが発売されたので、買ってきましたよ。一番乗りです。docomo NEXT series XPERIA Z SO-02Eです。興奮しながら書いてます。VAIO初期のようなバイオレット（紫色）ではありませんが、イイ感じのビビッドなパープル。非常に個性的で迷いました。これまでのXperiaはとりあえずマットな黒を選んでいたので、今回も黒で揃えようかとも思ったのですが、そもそも背面にまで指紋が目立つのがいやだったので、その時点で黒と紫はちょっと避けました。指紋が目立たないという観点か...
Abstract: XPERIA Z SO-02Eを早速さわってきました。海外モデルXPERIA Zに赤外線、ワンセグ、おサイフケータイを追加し、スタミナモードを去勢したものがSO-02Eとなります。ガラスの筐体が美しいですが、黒は指紋が目立ちますね。さりげなく配置されたストラップホールがイイ感じです。左からXPERIA AX SO-01E、XPERIA Z SO-02E、iPhone5。画面サイズは5インチまで大きくなっていますが、ベゼルが狭いせいかそこまで大きくなったと感じさせないです。重量はあるのでズッシリきますが、従...
Abstract: 서두는 이쯤에서 마치고 엑스페리아Z와 함께 한 방수 기능을 살펴본다. 엑스페리아Z는 국내 정식 출시되지 않았기 때문에 해외구매 대행으로 구입할 수 있다.기본적으로 ‘엑스페리아Z'는 방수·방진 기능을 위해 모든 외부 슬롯 및 단자 들에 덮개를 씌워놨다. 이 때문에 더 깔끔해보이기도 하고 조잡스러워 보이기도 한다. 하지만 전체적으로 균형잡힌 디자인이기 때문에 굳이 눈에 띄지는 않는 편이다.방수 입증은 높은 수준인 IP55/ IP57 등급을 획득했다는 내용...
Abstract: 그러던 와중에 국내 엑스페리아Z가 나왔다는 소식을 접하게 됐다. 물론 정식 출시는 아니지만 해외구매대행으로나마 구입할 수 있다는 게 다행스럽기도 하다.입수한 엑스페리아Z를 사용해봤다. 우선 개봉기부터다. 박스는 납작한 직사각형이다. 전면에 엑스페리아Z가 크게 프린팅됐다.박스를 열어보니 두 부분으로 구분됐다. 왼쪽은 엑스페리아Z가 다소곳이 누워있고 오른쪽은 또 하나의 박싱 처리가 눈에 띈다.엑스페리아Z를 들어보니 바닥에 2개의 액정필름이 동봉됐다. 전면...
Abstract: 사용자들이 가장 많이 이용하는 음악 감상과 사진 촬영 게임과 관련된 UX들을 집약시켰기 때문에 활용도도 뛰어나다. 특히 소니의 역작인 플레이스테이션을 모바일로 이식한 'PSM'은 정말이지 환상적이다. 물론 아직 콘텐츠 부족이 문제겠지만.우선 카메라부터 살펴보면 엑스모어(Exmor) 포 RS 모바일 센서를 최초로 적용했다. 기본적인 1300만화소 카메라보다 월등한 성능을 자랑한다는 게 사용자들의 의견이다. 그간 다양한 스마트폰이 소니의 카메라를 적용했...
