5-inch
1080p HD display Sony Xpeira Priced At Rs. 38,990
Sony Xpeira Price In India
Sony launched the Xperia Z, its new flagship smartphone in the Indian market in the first week of March. The USP of the phone is its 5-inch 1080p HD display, in addition to its water and dust resistant build, and a 13.1-megapixel camera. It's the second phone after the HTC Butterfly, to feature a full-HD display. However, it's priced about Rs.7,000 cheaper than the Butterfly at Rs. 38,990. Sony is also trying its best foot forward in promoting the phone in the Indian market with a star-studded marketing campaign. But does the
phone stand out among other phones of the top strata of the high-end smartphone segment? We try to find out.
Build/Design
Similar to the LG Optimus G that we reviewed a few days back, the first thing that you notice about the phone is its industrial design. It looks like a big rectangular glass slab with clean lines that give the phone a no nonsense persona, and there are no chrome frames or other embellishments barring the power button which stands out a little.
The front camera lens, sensors and a notification LED are placed above the screen along with Sony branding. The glass cuts at the top to reveal the earpiece grill. The back of the phone reminds us of the iPhone 4/4S as it's also completely made of glass. A camera lens, LED flash and a noise cancellation microphone are seen here, along with the XPERIA logo. We like the fact that the camera is flush with the body of the phone and does not protrude out
Display
After the HTC Butterfly, the Xperia Z is the second phone in the Indian market to sport a 1080p display. The phone sports a 5-inch TFT display that has a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels and a pixel density of 441ppi. The screen is bright and vivid, and text looks extremely crisp while app icons and images look sharp. Images and videos look spectacular thanks to the addition of Sony's BRAVIA Engine 2.The Xperia Z's display is one of the best displays we've come across. However, we had some minor gripes with the viewing angles. We feel that the viewing angles could have been better. Also, while navigating through the phone's interface, the screen appears a little washed out at certain times. Sunlight legibility was good only when we pumped up the brightness as the screen is pretty reflective.
Camera
The Sony Xperia Z sports a 13-megapixel Exmor RS rear camera with auto focus, Burst Mode, and LED flash. The phone's camera app is feature rich featuring, Superior auto, Normal, Video, Burst, Picture Effects, Sweep Panorama and different Scene selection modes.
Price: Rs. 38,990
