Sony Xperia ZL Review

Making a radical impact on today's smartphone market is no easy task, but Sony is hoping to succeed by taking a slightly different approach than its rivals. While most manufacturers have their time and resources focused on a single high-end device, the Japanese tech giant is delivering its one-two punch in the form of the slim and shiny Sony Xperia Z and its less fabulous and non-water-resistant, but (presumably) less expensive Sony Xperia ZL.

The guy is worried about a boring design because of the back of the phone??? I think its a sexy phone and if you have a phone with a glass back 9 times out ta 10 not only are they finger print magnets but also break easy when dropped I will take durable over no durable any day I don't own one of these phones I own a nexus 4 but I'm getting the zl its in general from what I have saw in numerous reviews an amazing phone.

This is a beautiful phone....quite like the form factor....longer phones not good for landscape usage..bt dis is a balanced unit.

[aargomemnon]

It also has a great Headphones inbox. The front facing camera is great for Landscape mode and 180 Degree inversion mode. Sony should have launch the Skype app automatically when the phone is turned upside down.

Should i get it with a 2 year contract...?

[jackwong]

mohammed, so you feel pround for your skill of one hand?

[metcard]

This review does seem a little more balanced than normal. Maybe Apple forgot to pay their monthly bill to iPhoneArena.

complaining about the plastic how about plastung s4 ? never heard u complaining about that !

[vishaljoura]

I think that the person comparing is biased . I have seen and compared z as well as zl . Zl is much more comfortable, much less fingerprint magnet and zl is easy to hold with the same screen size because of the bezel size . So please stop cursing zl

Is he in Bulgaria, because i saw bulgarian text? :
)

[Nyctophile-_-]

There is no Xperia ZL in the Sonymobile.com 's catalog ... 

[topografer]

Why dont you say the same for design for samsung galaxy phone arena? Besides ZL looks better than any samsung phone. If you are to be biased you have to do it less obvious

[PuneethBedre]

phonearena reviews are so biased -_-

I think the ZL is amongst the best design.

[Casual-Enthusiast]

and the zl is not water proof like the xperia z

[DiabloQFDB]

He said "1.5 gigahertz", but he pronounced it more like "one point fa'gigahertz".

[Graythefallen]

Who cares about how the screen looks from an angle, lets be honest nobody uses their phone from an awkward angle anyways! 

[quicksmash]

after their departure from ericsson, sony doesnt even do well in the design department...poor thing :(

[amartitou]

I don't trust phone arena reviews any more

[frieddayfriday]
