Feel like you're there with a razor sharp & super bright display
Super clear, super blackThe OptiContrast panel brings you clearer images when on and a seamless black look when off.
Expertise from our BRAVIA TV engineers goes into our mobile screens
 Super clear, super blackThe OptiContrast panel brings you clearer images when on and a seamless black look when off.
Full 1080p HD on a large 5" displayFeel like you're part of the action with the 1080 x 1920 full HD Reality Display
Unparalleled sharpnessWith very high pixel density and superior brightness for super sharp images, and great readability even in sunlight.
Intelligent screenMobile BRAVIA Engine 2 automatically optimises images so they're sharper and brighter. It also offers you the best in contrast and colour management.
A screen as impressive as HDTV Full HD Reality DisplayFeel like you're there with the razor sharp and super bright full HD screen. Xperia Z brings you the highest level of HD available 1080 progressive scan, for incredibly crisp pictures and no jagged edges. 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" full HD Reality Display also has very high pixel density 443 pixels per inch, for razor sharp pictures and superior brightness. And with the wide colour gamut it gives you the widest colour spectrum, so you can view every detail in vivid colour.
True Screen intelligence Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2
The second generation of our acclaimed Mobile BRAVIA Engine, Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 delivers an even better viewing experience by adding new real-time contrast optimisation to the sharpness enhancement, high-quality colour management and noise reduction. Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 is also able to analyse content type and adjust the image accordingly. Adding Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 to the Reality Display makes for an intelligent screen one that adapts automatically to display your content in the best way.
(1) Contrast enhancementContrast in images and video is enhanced by making the darkest parts slightly darker, which brings out details in the picture.
(2) Colour ManagementColour saturation is increased for specified colour ranges, which makes the colours deeper and more vivid. And the intelligent Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 software reproduces skin colour exactly as it appears to the naked eye.
(3) Noise reductionDistortion and noise is reduced when streaming low-quality video from online sources, such as YouTube. Noise is reduced both to individual frames and between frames, for clearer viewing.
(4) Sharpness filterMobile BRAVIA Engine 2 applies a sharpness filter to increase the overall detail level in the image. This is done by enhancing the edges and contrast without increasing noise.
Less reflective, more responsive OptiContrast & Direct Touch
We've eliminated a layer of air in the construction, bringing the touch panel closer to the display. This OptiContrast panel makes for less reflection and clearer viewing even in bright sunlight, as well as creating a seamlessly black surface when the phone is turned off.
By eliminating the sensor layer and integrating the sensor on the lens, we've managed to increase the responsiveness of the screen. So your touch is more effective and the experience is more intuitive.
Stunning photos and videos in any light
Our smartphone cameras are built with the same expertise and components as leading Sony cameras, to bring you ultra-sharp photos and videos, wherever and whenever.
Sharp and crisp in every light. See the 13 MP camera in action.
Exmor RS for mobile - the world's first image sensor with HDR video for smartphones
HDR for photos and videos captures natural colours in any light. HDR (High Dynamic Range) is an imaging technology used to capture clear photos against strong backlight. With HDR, the camera captures the same image at different exposure levels and layers them to create one optimised photo.

Xperia Z introduces HDR to video, so that you can film even in high contrast situations, like in front of a window or with the sun behind your subject.

Always the right setting - Superior AutoNow it's always easy to get a great shot. With Superior Auto, you don't have to know the ins and outs of camera settings to make use of them. In Superior Auto mode, the camera combines Scene Recognition with high quality and high performance image processing technology (HDR and noise reduction) to automatically shoot with the optimal settings. And your device is automatically optimised for 36 different scenes, so you always get the best shot.
Stunning shots in any light 13 MP camera with Exmor RS for mobileThe 13 megapixel camera is built with the same modules as leading Sony cameras. Exmor RS for mobile is an evolution of our Sony image sensor technology, with a next-generation BSI light sensor. By adopting the technology of luminance and colour noise reduction, we've created a camera that snaps highly detailed shots with low noise - even in challenging lighting conditions. You're now also able to reproduce objects in more vivid colours and capture night images and faces in stunning clarity. Exmor RS for mobile includes HDR video, for clear shots even when your subject is backlit.

Smart, sleek & durable
No one knows how to best pack durability into a beautiful design like Sony. The slim 7.9 mm body, with its reflective glass surface, looks and feels slick, but Xperia Z is crafted to be water-resistant, dust-resistant and tough enough to handle whatever life has planned.

No one knows how to best pack durability into a beautiful design like Sony. The slim 7.9 mm body, with its reflective glass surface, looks and feels slick, but Xperia Z is crafted to be water-resistant, dust-resistant and tough enough to handle whatever life has planned.
Minimal yet distinctive - OmniBalance designWith Xperia Z, we introduce our new OmniBalance design. The design is focused on creating balance and symmetry in all directions. Xperia Z has subtly rounded edges and smooth, reflective surfaces on all sides, which are held together by an innovative skeleton frame.

Both the front and back are made of glass, with a seamless surface. Together with enhanced reflection coating on the top, bottom and sides, Xperia Z actually mirrors the world around you. OmniBalance design balances technology vs. design, letting you get so totally immersed in the content that the hardware disappears.

Quality craftsmanshipXperia Z was designed in collaboration with Sony consumer electronics experts, for quality craftsmanship and consistent attention to details. Only premium materials were used throughout, like aluminium for the power and volume buttons and durable tempered glass for the front and back.
Super slimWe've eliminated a layer of air and brought the display closer to the lens, for added touch sensitivity and a smaller size. This construction, along with a new component layout and skeleton frame allows for a slimness of 7.9 mm..
Premium design, outside and inside - Sony unified UIWhether you're on a Sony smartphone or tablet, you'll meet a consistent user interface on your devices and in all your Sony Media apps
Water and dust resistantWe tested this Android mobile to make sure it can keep going even after 30 minutes under water. It can even withstand water jets. The high IP55 & IP57 rating means you can use it in the rain, take photos by the pool and easily clean it off from everyday spills and dirt.
We even put Xperia Z in a dust chamber for rigorous testing, to make sure its operations were unaffected.
How can we be certain? In order to get the high IP55 & IP57 rating, we submerge Xperia Z under water for 30 minutes - and make sure it's good as new when it comes out. It's also resistant to water jets!

 Quick benefits:
  • Water resistant up to 1 meter
  • Resistant to water jets
  • Dust resistant

Durable glass panels
Both the front and back panels of Xperia Z are made of durable tempered glass that's much stronger than conventional glass. Each glass panel also has an anti-shatter film for even greater durability.

The durable tempered glass on front and back is a lot stronger than conventional glass. And with anti-shatter film on the front and back, Xperia Z is anything but fragile.

An incredibly tough frame
The skeleton frame is made of tough glass fibre polyamide. It has superior mechanical strength, and is so strong that it's often used as a metal substitute in cars and electronics.

How solid does a precision engineered smartphone need to be? How about as solid as a car? Xperia Z's frame is made from glass fibre polyamide, the same material that's used as a metal substitute in automobile parts.

Dust-resistantSince we can't take every Android smartphone outdoors, we bring the dust tests to our labs. Before we label Xperia Z dust-resistant, we hang it in a dust-test chamber and make sure its operation is unaffected.

OmniBalance design
The design is focused on creating balance and symmetry in all directions. Xperia Z has beautiful rounded edges and smooth, reflective surfaces on all sides, which are held together by an innovative skeleton frame.

Significantly improve battery life with Battery STAMINA modeSmartphones use a lot of power, even when you're not actively using them. All those apps that you've had open are still running in the background, using unnecessary battery. Battery STAMINA mode saves you wasted battery drain by recognising when your display is off and turning off functions you don't need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you touch the screen and wake up your phone, everything is up and running again.
Get only the important noticesWith Battery STAMINA mode, Wi-Fi and data traffic are disabled during standby, but you still receive incoming calls, texts, and alarms.
