Sony Xperia Z

The Sony Xperia™ Z is a beautifully designed smartphone that's packed with power, features, and state of the art technology. From the 13MP camera to the 1080p HD touchscreen, it's got the biggest and best capabilities you can get.

Feel like you're there with the razor sharp, super bright display.

With a high end smartphone, it's all about the screen. The 1080p full HD resolution of the Sony Xperia™ Z's display is the same as Blu-ray, so you can stream HD content and watch it the way it was meant to be seen. The high pixel density means visual media is always perfectly sharp, and the Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 technology automatically optimises images so they're sharper and brighter. It also controls the screen's output giving you the best in contrast and colour management for perfect realism.

13MP camera for stunning photos and videos in any light.

The 13MP fast-capture camera built-in to the Sony Xperia™ Z uses the next generation Sony Exmor RS™ for mobile sensor. All those megapixels are used by the sensor to give you crystal clear photos wherever, whenever. Designed to work in both lowlight and strongly backlit conditions, the Xperia Z's camera gives fantastic shots in all light conditions. The Sony Xperia Z also includes the world's first image sensor with HDR video for smartphones, so you can take beautiful movies even against strong light. Not a pro with settings? Superior Auto mode automatically activates HDR and noise reduction when they're needed.

Smart, sleek and durable.

The slim 7.9 mm body, with its reflective glass surface, looks and feels slick, but the Sony Xperia™ Z is crafted to be water resistant, dust resistant and super tough. With IP55 & IP57 rating, it'll withstand being submerged in 1 metre of water for 30 minutes, and even water jets and dust won't affect its insides¹. The frame is made from glass fibre polyamide, the same material that's used as a metal substitute in automobile parts, so you could say it's even as tough as a car!

Ultra-fast 4G technology.

The Sony Xperia™ Z can connect to the new 4G network², giving you super fast internet that's up to five times faster than the 3G network used in most phones. You'll be able to stream HD movies on the go, take part in 3D multiplayer games from anywhere and take video calls away from home. It also means you can tether, or share, the internet connection of your phone with your tablet or laptop and give your mobile devices access to incredible 4G internet speeds.

Smartphone with super power.

At the heart of the Sony Xperia™ Z is the Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, an advanced quad core processor that gives you maximum performance and speed without draining your battery. It enables you to run multiple apps simultaneously, surf the web with no loading time and stream videos without a break. If you're into advanced graphics and games, the S4 is coupled with an Adreno 320 GPU graphics processing unit. This lets you play the most advanced 3D games, is twice as fast as previous generation GPUs, and makes browsing the web quick and smooth.

Stellar battery life.

With Battery STAMINA Mode you can easily improve your standby time by four times or more³. Your Sony Xperia™ Z knows when you're screen is off and shuts down the battery-draining apps you don't need, then starts them up again instantly when the screen is back on. With Battery STAMINA mode turned on, your Wi-Fi and data traffic can also be disabled during standby, but you still receive incoming calls, texts and alarms. And since everyone has different needs, you can easily customise which apps you want to receive push notifications from. Facebook notifications on or off? It's up to you.
