Wireless connectivity supports WLAN standards 802.11b/g/n. The communication options reflect the upscale positioning of the smartphone. Sony did good work here and managed to put a large display into a fairly compact and lightweight case. The Google Nexus 4 (139 grams / 4.90 ounces) and the Asus PadFone 2 (135 grams / 4.76 ounces) are also quite comparable. The Samsung Galaxy S3 measures 71 x 137 x 8.6 millimeters (5.47 x 5.39 x 0.34 inches) and weighs 133 grams / 4.69 ounces. Let's look at the dimensions: the smartphone measures 71 x 139 x 7.9 millimeters (5.47 x 2.79 x 0.31 inches) and weighs in at 146 grams / 5.15 oz - fairly large, but not overly so. For those of you who don't like white: Sony also offers the Xperia Z in black and purple for the same price. Because of it, the ports are also protected against dirt, although having to remove the covers can get a little tiresome over time. The ports are protected with little covers - a feature which accentuates the sleek look of the phone. When twisting the phone, we didn't notice any creaking sounds, although the display does show some evidence of wave patterns, which also happen when localized pressure is applied to the screen area. Even though the surfaces are smooth, they are easy to grip - although gloves or slightly damp fingers should be avoided. The build quality is impressive and the phone appears to be very durable. Sony states that the Xperia Z can handle submersion for up to 30 minutes without any issues. The first number (5) indicates the protection against dust, the second indicates how the device handles mild jets (5) and immersion in water (7). The Sony Xperia Z complies with IP55 and IP57. One distinguishing factor (unique selling proposition or USP) are the IP certifications - worldwide standards, which classify how well a device is protected against solid objects, dust, and water. Applying a matte screen protector on top of the film doesn't pose any problems.

The phone ships with barely noticeable protective films applied to the front and back, which should not be removed. The front and the back are made of tempered glass. The white model uses a plastic frame with small inlays. Sony uses the term ' OmniBalance' to describe this particular design, which is focused on 'creating balance and symmetry' and features subtly rounded edges. Unpacking the phone reveals how large, but nonetheless extremely slim it is. Is our white review sample all show and no substance? The phone, which is available in black, white, or purple, is available for 649 Euros (MSRP) / ~$845.

Google Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean is the current version of the mobile operating system.

A card reader for MicroSD cards and LTE wireless complete the package. Back to our review model: the Xperia Z is powered by a 1.5 GHz Quad-Core SoC (System-on-a-Chip), an integrated Qualcomm Adreno 320 GPU, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB flash storage. The 5-inch Sony Xperia Z is at the upper end as far as screen size is concerned: larger devices like it are usually called 'phablets' - a combination of phone and tablet. What do all those phones have in common? The answer: a high-resolution TFT display with 1920x1080 pixels and 443 ppi. The competition doesn't sleep, however: the release of the HTC One (MZ) is right around the corner and we expect Samsung to introduce the Galaxy S4 in New York on March 14th. The new phone - which definitely raises the bar for smartphones - is now available in various countries. The Japanese company Sony introduced the new high-end smartphone Xperia Z during the Consumer Electronics Show 2013 (CES). For the original German review, see here.
