I was in Las Vegas (CES 2013) during the unveiling of Sony XPERIA Z and ZL. Luckily enough, I was also able to test run it.

My God, Z and ZL was hella responsive (for an Android device) — even more responsive than Google Nexus 10 and LG Optimus G (though the latter was a tablet and bare-bones on skin). The device size was never an issue for me (Mr. Big Hands here), considering the fact that Z has a 5 inch display, the device is actually slimmer and shorter than Samsung Galaxy S III (which has a 4.8 inch display) — this one really fits perfectly on my hand, even on single-hand use, I can swipe on all directions perfectly, and reach top-and-bottom-most apps.

Compared to the other 5 inch devices that was unveiled on CES 2013, hands down, Sony took the top crown. The next challenge though for this device is on the upcoming “Unpack/box Event” by Samsung.

Thanks for the review. This won’t be cheap for sure when it reaches our shores.

Unfortunately and indefinitely, Yes. It will be around €649 in Italy. So that will be, like, P35,144. Or to be more precise it will not be less than P30,000. -_- X)

Actually, for the average user, its so simple to distinguish which is which. Unlike samsung (no hard feelings here) naming their phones Galaxy (insert name here) i.e Galaxy Pocket, Galaxy Mini, Galaxy Wonder, Galaxy SII, Galaxy SII Plus, Galaxy Advanced etc. See the point?

All phones from Sony are great. Sometimes, they even beat Samsung and Apple in terms of performance, usability, and in aesthetics. The ONLY thing that they’re lacking with is marketing. To tell you honestly, I haven’t seen any of their products being marketed heavily. It seems like they spread too thin in terms of marketing.

I do hope Kazuo Hirai’s “One Sony” initiative will make them a more focused company — meaning leaning heavily on one smartphone. They should also stop naming their phones with confusing names like Z, ZL, Sola, Ion, etc. Seriously, for an average user, who can tell which is which?
