Xperia Z

World’s first image sensor with HDR
video for smartphones*
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.
How does Xperia Z make your pictures
sharper?

HDR video camera
Xperia Z features Exmor RS™ for mobile,
the world’s first image sensor with HDR
video for smartphones, so you can take
beautiful stills and movies even against
strong light.
13-megapixel camera
The 13 megapixel fast-capture camera and
the next-generation Sony Exmor RS™ for
mobile sensor makes Xperia Z the Android
mobile that delivers crystal clear photos
wherever, whenever.
Great in all light conditions
With Exmor RS™ for mobile and HDR,
Xperia Z takes sharp photos and videos
both in lowlight and strongly backlit
conditions. The lowlight sensors on front
and back make it the first dual Exmor R™
for mobile camera.
Superior Auto
Not a pro with settings? Superior Auto
mode automatically activates HDR and
noise reduction when they’re needed.
The highest level of water resistance in a
smartphone**
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.

design
**As of 4th of february 2013, outside of
Japan there are no smartphones with a
waterproof rating higher than the Sony
Xperia Z. For more information on Strategy
analytics results, click here .
Water-resistant
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!
Tough as metal
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.
Durable glass
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.
Dust-resistant
Since 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.
One touch to entertainment
Discover the quick and easy way to
wirelessly share music and photos from
your smartphone. One-touch mirroring
with NFC technology lets you easily see
content on your phone, on your TV. Just
touch your phone to your BRAVIA® remote
control and watch your photo or music pop
up on the TV screen. No cables, no
buttons, no confusion.
*One-touch mirroring is designed to work
together with an NFC-enabled BRAVIA® TV.

Better battery life
With Battery STAMINA Mode you have more
intelligent battery management and can
easily improve your standby time by four
times or more*. Your phone knows when
you’re screen is off and shuts down the
battery-draining apps you don’t need, then
starts them up again when the screen is
back on.
*Based on testing done with default
settings, default accounts and applications
for Skype™ and Twitter downloaded to the
phone. The more applications installed, the
bigger the effect of Battery STAMINA Mode.
What makes a more intelligent battery?
