Product overview

Xperia™ Z HSPA+ – Experience the best of Sony in a smartphone

Xperia™ Z sets a new standard of excellence, with a razor sharp and super bright 5” full HD display and reflective surfaces that wow anyone looking. Running on Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, it comes fully loaded with years of Sony engineering. Advanced BRAVIA® screen technology, created with the expertise of the same engineers behind BRAVIA® TVs. A 13.1 megapixel fast capture camera that’s made to take the best shots in any light, built with the same expertise and components as leading Sony cameras. And a sleek design with a solid water and dust-resistant body. Xperia™ Z is designed with attention to every corner, piece and pixel, all to bring you the most captivating experience imaginable. It’s craftsmanship re-defined. Smartphone re-imagined. It’s the best of Sony in a smartphone.
A screen as impressive as HDTV
Feel like you’re there with the razor sharp and super bright full HD screen. Xperia™ Z brings you entertainment that’s bigger and closer than ever. Expertise from our BRAVIA® TV engineers goes into our mobile screens, to bring you the same quality you’d expect from a top quality HDTV. The 5” 1080 x 1920 full HD display has very high pixel density – 443 ppi—and superior brightness. That’s a lot of numbers that add up to mean unbelievably crisp and seriously bright, even in sunlight. The Reality Display™ with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 uses the same contrast enhancement technology as the latest BRAVIA® TVs. Immerse yourself in your favourite game, a chat with your best mate, or watch the latest flick. Time to go? The OptiContrast™ panel makes the phone seamlessly, strikingly black when turned off.
Exmor RS™ for mobile – the world’s first image sensor with HDR video for smartphones
Torch-lit tent. Backlit peak. Midday beach. Now, with Xperia™ Z, you can capture ultra-sharp photos & videos in any condition. Our smartphone camera modules use the same expertise and components as leading Sony cameras. And thanks to Exmor RS™ for mobile with next generation BSI sensors, you can take stunning shots in any light. With low-light capabilities on both front and back, Xperia™ Z is the world’s first dual Exmor R™ for mobile camera. So what if the sun is shining right behind your subject? Xperia™ Z, with HDR photos and HDR video, takes beautiful stills and movies in backlit conditions as well. More interested in the moment and not a pro with settings? Superior Auto mode automatically activates HDR and noise reduction when they’re needed. Adopting the technology of luminance and colour noise reduction allows us to realize detailed results with low noise in challenging lighting conditions, and reproduces objects in more vivid colour. Your device is automatically optimised for 36 different scenes, so you always get the best shot. You focus on your target, the camera does the thinking.
Smart, Sleek & Durable
Carry it to your outdoor activities; take it out in the rain, the durable smartphone you’ve imagined is now real. Xperia™ Z brings Sony’s long history of water-resistant electronics to a smartphone – the only one of its kind. The slim 7.9 mm body, with its reflective glass surface, looks and feels slick, but Xperia™ Z is crafted to be sturdy. It’s dust resistant, with durable tempered glass on front and back, which are further protected by anti-shatter films. No one knows how to best pack durability into a beautiful design like Sony. For whatever you have planned – and whatever life has planned for you.

Smartphone with super power
Forget load time. As fast as you can think it up, Xperia™ Z can deliver. The Snapdragon™ S4 Pro quad­core 1.5 Ghz processor with 2GB RAM gives you super-fast performance and unparalleled graphics. But Xperia™ Z is also made to use the battery wisely. Because the four cores are powered up and down as required, they only use the minimum power needed to complete a task. So you’re not left high and dry. Find your way on Google Maps™. Stream the latest videos and YouTube™ clips. Download all the newest apps and run them without a hitch. Get it all when you want it – that would be now, right?
Share the magic on any screen
Home at last. Time to relax with the latest blockbuster? The “Movies” app magically downloads info on all the films that you have downloaded or side loaded, and lets you view them in high quality. Or why not play your videos on a big screen by connecting a standard HDMI cable to your HDTV using an MHL adapter* or a compatible Xperia TV Dock* accessory? With live streaming in full HD, what looks gorgeous on your phone also looks gorgeous on your HDTV. If you prefer to go wireless, you can use the Screen Mirroring** feature to share content from your phone via the TV***. With just the touch of a button, you can watch your selected photo pop up on the TV screen or listen to the current music track play on the TV’s speakers.
* Separate accessory, not included.
** When using screen mirroring, the image quality may sometimes be negatively impacted if there is interference from other Wi-Fi networks.
*** Your TV must support screen mirroring based on Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Miracast™ for the screen mirroring feature to work. If your TV does not support such screen mirroring, you need to purchase a wireless display adapter separately.
Better battery life
With Battery STAMINA Mode you have more intelligent battery management and can easily improve your standby time by four times or more*. When the screen is off, your phone automatically shuts down the battery-draining apps you don’t need, then starts them up again when the screen is back on. And of course, since you don’t want to miss any important reminders or notifications, you can choose which apps to keep running even when the screen is off.
* Based on testing done with default settings, default accounts and applications for Skype™ and Twitter™ downloaded to the phone. The more applications installed, the bigger the effect of Battery STAMINA Mode.
Entertainment audio
Xperia™ Z comes with a high quality stereo headset. Sony MH-EX300AP headset has superior acoustic performance which helps realize sound true to the original recorded sound.
Get the most out of your music, games and films. An in-ear headset that’s designed for a premium comfort fit lets you enjoy quality entertainment audio. And when a call or message comes in, you’ll know.
PlayMemories Online*. Enjoy anytime, anywhere.
Where are all your favourite shots? Spread out on Facebook™, your phone and your computer? Now you can carry every picture with you, without storing them all in your phone. PlayMemories Online lets you collect all your photos and videos in one place, then relive memories wherever you are. See the perfect shot? Upload pictures automatically over Wi-Fi from your phone camera to PlayMemories Online. Then view your photos on any device – tablet, phone, computer, or BRAVIA® TV.
* PlayMemories Online is not available in every market.
