Until then visit the Sony Xperia Z Forum and the Sony Xperia ZL Forum!
I thought they had different screen sizes? Apparently not. So, other than the Z being dust & water resistant, these phones are the same? Z says 1080 x 1920 and ZL says 1920 x 1080.
One you’re supposed to hole in portrait mode and the other is suggested to be used in landscape? Hehe I kid, I kid… funny observation. I agree… they could have just said “With this model you also get this” and be done with it.
CAN’T WAIT TO BUY MY XPERIA Z :) Be the first one to buy a 1080P HD PHONE
..except everythone who bought a Droid DNA last year
So Chavez were these phones as sexy as you thought they were going to be ? That purple one is wayyyyy hot ;)
More so! They’re so light, and I really like how premium these devices look. One of the first Android devices to give the iPhone a run for its money (in terms of build quality).
Are these by any chance Nexus Devices?
nope.
The Snapdragon S4 processor is now kinda out dated with the announcement of their new 600 & 800 series processors… However, it still has plenty of juice that anyone would need for a phone.
Ummm…what’s the difference between the two of these?
I was wondering that myself, but it seems like one is water and dust resistant, which comes at the cost of added bulk, and the other is super slim and sexy, but probably a lot more fragile. I wonder if those are really the only differences…
i want the ZL, i love high screen ratio phones.b
Removable battery? SDcard slot? Inquiring minds want to know…
Removable battery? – No.
SD Card slot? – Yes.
Internal Memory – 16GB
Internal memory? why is this always left out?
was expecting the sony new whitemagic display… but happy anyway!
My Sony Ion has hardened mineral glass that is scratched up to hell… So did they use the same crap on this or did they move up to gorilla glass?
The ZL supports up to 64gb SDCard XD but it doesn’t has dust and water resistant technology also it has a different back panel. Both have a 5 inch screen size.
