The beginning of 2012 was marked by the presentation of not one, but a range of Xperia smartphones, conducted under the banner of the Xperia S. In 2013, Sony closing ranks: for the moment, only a Sony Xperia Z ZL and its variation in some markets has been formalized for a French release end of the month. The shift is complete: if the brand already proposed high-end smartphones, it switches on the side with a premium full Xperia Z reviewing habits of the brand. Exit the train delay, Sony rolls now in the lead, advancing the first commercial field displays Full HD format by 5 inches, and embarking on sector overpowered quad-core processors, without counting extras side resistance famous "vagaries of life." Arguments strong enough to counter the competition?
Case
Xperia Z comes, as so often, in a small square box in the colors of smartphone - purple for us. Sony delivers a classic pack, including a charger with detachable Micro USB cable, guides commissioning, and a headset. It is here in-ear headphones design with flat edge that can be seen usually with two pairs of extra bits. The classic here, as the MHL cable is missing the cabinet, as well as the cover. While Sony promises XPS M1530 battery terminal anti-scratch, no doubt prefer the more cautious to protect their Xperia Z daily! However, we note the presence of bundle deals at many retailers and operators, who choose to provide smartphone with a Bluetooth mini-speaker headset with NFC or based on the same technology. We should also find the following packs including a dock charge.
Design
Sony sees its fully copy with a terminal necessarily large, without reaching the dimensions pharamineuses a Galaxy Note 2: count 139 x 71 x 7.9 mm for 146 grams. It is terrible to say, but you get used increasingly to smartphones giants when two years ago, seemed already huge 4.3-inch ... Sony opts here for a 5-inch TFT panel with Bravia Mobile Engine 2, edges very low, even if we can blame him a slice which hangs a little finger, the slab is slightly behind the frame. The set has a very smooth finish, and for good reason: the connectors are hidden by doors that are reminiscent of those found in the mobile a few years ago. The Latitude E5500 advantage here is, of course, when they are closed, to seal the beast where dive accident: we may have some doubts about it, have tended, for our part, not always properly close the hatch USB port ... and ruining of fact the water resistance of Xperia Z. Note, in connectivity, a microSD slot and a power MHL on the left edge, above a dedicated pin dock, right, a protruding power button is located under the SIM card port. Requires sealing the jack above the smartphone is also covered with a flap. The volume control bar is located on the edge of her right under the power button (everything is accessible with one hand despite the size of the smartphone). You can even drag a strap or a gem of a smartphone, if it still exists in the slot on the lower right corner! Note that the battery is not removable.
Very angular, masculine enough in fact, the Xperia Z could almost err on sobriety, but not not fragility. He is certified IP57 against water and dust IP5X against. Particularly difficult to Dell XPS M2010 test this last point, but after a few days in a bag without cover, it is clear that the stripes are missing from the back cover and screen smartphone, both anti-scratch treated. The appearance of the back of vitrified Xperia Z may well be stylish, consideration is this: the phobic fingerprints risk of syncope. And for those of you who prefer a little sweetness in the Xperia austere, white or purple just bring a little femininity to the whole. Fans of dark colors can fall back on the Xperia Z black.
General use
Screen
The screen is one of the arguments flagship Xperia Z. Sony is the first to launch on the market in France Full HD, HTC and other Butterfly Oppo is not available in our country, all the pressure is on the shoulders of Nippon. 1920 x 1080 pixels on a slab 5 inches, it gives us a pixel density of 440 ppi ... In other words, readability level, the performance is there. Promises Dell Engine Mobile 2 are required, since it gets bright and contrasting colors, with a brightness that we were very pleasantly surprised. As long as the brightness is pushed to its maximum viewing angles are also excellent, and reflections limited; otherwise, we may regret reflections too present outside. Black side, the AMOLED continues to hold a candle to any of its competitors, including Sony, the Nippon beautiful bias in choosing shades of gray, there is, if page display black, greater efficiency in a Samsung, for example. White level, the brand reached almost perfect, despite a slight tendency to pull yellow.
One point that has nothing very technical, but may annoy in more than one: the Xperia Z has a tendency to retain fingerprints and dust. The small gap between the frame and the screen collects small fibers flying deci, beyond, while traces accumulate at the front and rear vitrified phone. After this little minor discomfort, you will notice that the scratch-resistant surface fulfills its office, and a layer on the screen to give a second chance on the screen, if the user never reaches the damaging since it is possible to take off. Note that Dell Latitude d830 is not here Corning partner, and that it is therefore not a Gorilla Glass 3.
LTE
As the last-born of the moment, the Sony Xperia Z is made to go the distance to its competitors that come out this year, since it is compatible with the 4G / LTE. Nothing to stomp today, the areas covered in France still remaining few, but the satisfaction of being able to buy a smartphone that today, at least from a network point of view, will not be obsolete in coming months. We also noticed a good grip in the terminal network, which we were not disappointed in our Latitude e6400 battery tests, particularly in the context of delicate subway corridors.
Keyboard
What would a smartphone without a messaging system efficient? Side text messages, as always, Sony offers an intuitive keypad whose performance is proven. Predictive text input is effective, offering choice and storing the terms most often seized. Obviously, with as wide a keyboard, typing errors will be less frequent, a well-designed keyboard, as always, double-click the spacebar to display a point and, contrary to what we know The punctuation is not included in QWERTY keyboard. However, a selection of signs displayed in the bar recommendations when adding a space after a word more practical to add question marks / exclamation. Note that the color chosen for the theme of the HP Pavilion is in the highlighting of words in the messaging application, itself a white theme pleasing to the eyes.
