Sony Xperia Z launches with full HD prowess

Is this the phone to take Sony to the top?

The Sony Xperia Z has been unveiled at CES 2013 claiming to deliver the 'ultimate viewing experience'.

Fitting into this mantra is the 5-inch full HD Reality Display (1080 x 1920) sporting Sony's own Mobile Bravia Engine 2, which uses technology borrowed from its TV range to produce a crisp, vivid display.

There's more too, with the Xperia Z the first smartphone (or superphone) from Sony to feature a quad-core processor – clocked at 1.5Ghz and backed up by 2GB of RAM meaning Android 4.1 Jelly Bean should run like a dream.

Strong on paper

Round the back is a 13.1MP camera capable of recording 1080p video and a single-LED flash, while on the front is a 2.2MP snapper.

Smartphone staples such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and A-GPS are all present, as is NFC, 4G and a 2330mAh battery.

Sadly the Sony Xperia Z only comes in a 16GB variant, but it does sport a microSD slot to expand on this and, as an added bonus, the handset is dust- and waterproof.

The Xperia Z certainly looks like a stellar device on paper, but the proof as they say, is in the pudding.
