Getting Started Sony Xperia Z

Almost a year after the era Sony Ericsson Xperia Sony is the new Z-bearer in early 2013 smartphones from the Japanese brand. I will not go on all the technical features that you can find here at the official announcement but little reminder, the Sony Xperia Android 4.1.2 Z offers Jelly Bean with a small overlay Sony Bravia Mobile display an impressive 2 5 "with a Full HD resolution is 1080 × 1920 (however Viewing 720 × 1280), a quad-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro clocked at 1.5 GHz, a new camera with Exmor RS 13 Megapixels, 16GB internal memory MicroSD port and certification IP55/IP57 (dust and water ).

 

 

The first thing that strikes when taken in hand, it is its weight. Indeed, despite the size of the screen, the Sony Xperia Z is light. I love the classy design. No fuss like the Xperia S is here with elegant straight lines and rounded corners only. I appreciate the special back Gorilla Glass 2 as the Google Nexus 4. By cons, there is no reason as the Google smartphone, which results in many fingerprints, especially on the black version. In    case, Sony has named his design "Omnibalance" and you will find a similar design on future successors of P and Xperia U. In the end, this is probably one of the best Android smartphones, above 4 or HTC Google Nexus One + X and clearly a step above the Samsung Galaxy S III

As I told you earlier, the Sony Xperia Z is IP55 certified and IP57, which means resistance to water and dust, like its big brother, the Xperia Tablet S tablet has shown in his announcement at IFA 2012. It's time, the choice to have each port with a small cache sealed. Note also that the Xperia Z, there are more triggerphoto, which is a shame when his cousin, the Xperia ZL proposed. Sony Xperia integrates with the Z Stamina mode which is supposed to optimized battery when everything is idle, it is not so bad when you know how Android can work even in standby

.Regarding performance, our tests fast, we did not notice any slowdown. Fortunately, the opposite would have surprised, especially with a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro. Even if it is not stock Android, the Xperia overlay does not increase the user experience generally, it remains fluid and pleasant to use. Regarding the display, I must admit it is very nice with left and right edges very thin, which allows a smartphone tapered and not so impressive that despite the screen 5 ". Full HD resolution allows a density of 443dpi, you can imagine that everything is fine. The colors are rather faithful, cons, I noticed a light a little weak compared to the competition, but on a show, it is always more difficult to assess

 

 

 

Quick note on the Xperia overlay which also includes all the services of SEN (Sony Entertainment Network) and that you can share on your local network via DLNA, Miracast or NFC. In this regard, this year Sony will release countless NFC audio device, very convenient. Side of the picture, we could not test course, but we note a photo application fast execution and incorporating user design close to its CyberShot digital camera. Note that the new Exmor RS 13 megapixels will not only bursts of 10fps but also make HDR video (no need to Nvidia Tegra 4: P), we could not test but obviously demonstration videos, it looks promising.

 

 

In early conclusion, yes, we are still on the show there: P The Sony Xperia Z pleasantly surprised me and I'm really looking forward to the test, especially with a Sony ecosystem as a whole. There was no official price yet but I remind you that we had the info as how it comes out at th

e end of February in France around 700 € without subscription
