Sony Mobile Communications today introduced its new flagship Android smartphone, the Xperia Z. This smartphone has a 5″ Full HD 1080P Reality Display screen, powered by a Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor, with a 13 megapixel fast-capture camera and 4G LTE. On top of all this will be an addition to Sony’s unique technology, design, content and connectivity to deliver amazing user experiences.

“With Xperia Z, we are bringing over half a century of innovation in TV, imaging, music, film and gaming to create a superphone experience that truly stands out,” said Kuni Suzuki, President and CEO, at Sony Mobile Communications. “With great specifications, Sony’s media applications, One-touch functions and outstanding battery life, Xperia Z is well positioned for leadership in the smartphone market. By putting smartphones at the heart of our strategy, Sony is enabling people to create, enjoy and share content and experiences like never before.”

The Xperia Z is equipped with Sony’s razor sharp Reality Display, which is powered by Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2 and brings Sony’s long-standing TV expertise to the smartphone and delivers a beautiful, immersive viewing experience with super brightness and clarity. This smartphone also shares the same technology as the Sony digital cameras and features Exmor RS for mobile, the world’s first image sensor with High Dynamic Rnage (HDR) video for smartphones.

The Xperia Z also includes a Battery STAMINA Mode that can improve the standby time by up to four times by automatically shutting down battery-draining apps whenever the screen is off and starting them up again when the screen is back on.

One-touch functions enable consumers to easily share music, photos and videos from their smartphone to an array of NFC-enabled Sony devices, including speakers, headphones and now TVs. With the new BRAVIA TV, simply touch Xperia Z to the remote control of the TV to instantly enjoy your photos and videos on the big screen.

Precision engineered with premium materials, Xperia Z introduces a unique OmniBalance design with subtly rounded edges and smooth reflective surfaces on all sides. Despite its slim 7.9mm body, Xperia Z is highly durable with tempered glass and anti-shatter film on the front and back, as well as the highest levels of dust and water resistance (IP55 and IP57) found in a premium smartphone.

Xperia Z will launch on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and will be upgraded to 4.2 shortly after launch for the latest Android user experience.
