Test Sony Xperia Z

Friday, November 22, 2013

Big phone or small tablet ? We asked the question in the incipit of our test Galaxy Note 2 and a few months later, 5-inch screen have become the norm . The first of the giants in France is signed Sony, a first attempt turned into master stroke ?
For a few weeks that you are talking about now : smartphones grew . No, they do not reach the age of maturity, or even that of retirement, but such a bamboo shoot , they quickly pushed . Of 4.3 inches that we find regulations in 2011, we are slowly reached 5 inches at the beginning of 2013 . Fortunately , manufacturers were not beasts and also expanded the definition of these screens and power under the hood to run the new smartphones. This Xperia Z , first fully designed and marketed by Sony after the dissolution of Sony- Ericsson smartphone is the first giant to land here.

Flagship premium brand after a 2012 halftone , Sony would release an almost perfect machine, which finally mark permanently minds . We will see in this test if the new line of thought Japanese was successful or if it is only once lost in the tide of Android smartphones. Anyway, at a time when Samsung has the market , manufacturers are betting big on each output .
Before going into details , let a small technical round. First out of the box and shock dimensions : it is less a big Galaxy Note , but it is still impressive , with measurements of 139 x 71 x 7.9 mm for 146 grams dry . Note that the smartphone remains still close enough - we will return in the grip
The 5-inch screen is a TFT awaited slab set in 1920 x 1080 pixels, Full HD . Yes, you have about 5 inches equivalent definition TV 40 inches and larger , as saying that hunting pixels will be difficult. And for good reason , with a rate of 441 pixels per inch meter, the Xperia Z immediately became a benchmark in its category . Fill this with the Bravia Engine and what you salivate in theory software suite.
Under the hood is a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro , quadruple heart 1.5GHz supported by 2GB of RAM. In other words, the topical cream that will equip many models by half of the year. Note also the Adreno 320 graphics processor may , on paper , turn just about anything. Capture side , there is a 13 megapixel camera with LED flash that can take video in 1080p Full HD . Before the webcam is a nice 2.2 megapixel model , allowing you to do video conferencing without problem.
2330 mAh battery seems feeble compared to 3100 mAh of Galaxy Note 2 however. But in practice, we were not bothered by a smartphone that require too often juice . It is not as impressive as a 2 Note that we can keep in office for two days, but it will take a long day of work until bedtime , 8am to midnight without a problem in heavy use . We'll see how Sony thought the energy management later in the test.
Note that we find the Z in black, white or ... purple.
