Along with the glass-laden Xperia Z, its shorter counterpart – the Sony Xperia ZL also made its first APAC debut during the recently concluded launch in Singapore. As mentioned in our previous post, the Xperia ZL boasts a similar configuration as its flagship sibling. The significant difference between the two 5-inchers lies in the design and make which led to the ZL not having the water and dust resistant features of the Xperia Z. However, in order to fit the same screen size in a shorter profile, the ZL sacrificed a few millimeters of thickness and heft which measures 9.8mm and 151g respectively (the Xperia Z is only 7.9mm thick and weighs 146g). Unlike the Z, the Xperia ZL only has one tempered glass with shatter-proof film which guards its display from being scratched. The button layout is also slightly different as opposed to the Xperia Z. There’s also a physical shutter button just below the power button which is not present on the Xperia Z. The main camera of the Xperia ZL is placed in the top middle portion while the front-facing one is oddly placed at the bottom of the 5-inch screen.
