Sony once again very "big" ...

I have had many smartphones in all these years because I always like to try something new. Even the iPhone :-)

I have long wondered at the Z, already in the store I was much too young and I have excluded it. However, as I with my last phone (Panasonic Eluga), constant problems have had, had so forth a new one. First I ordered the ZL, which me but because of the beautiful, but unlike the boring Z back could not convince. The Z is simply very chic, although not as compact as the ZL, but it no longer leaves a lot when you're in the first time the hand made ... it's just WOW.

Competition? Samsung = Sorry, for 500-600 euros should the purchaser have been more than plastic, anyone can, not just Samsung. Samsung still seems like the brand that many years ago the globe, was in addition to the video recorders of Orion, long before the meteoric rise. Nokia clearly shows how you can get more out of plastic. Sure, technology is one ... but as I said, at prices often well over 500, - Euro, more should be off than thin plastic. No one would buy a BMW but in the guise of a small KIA, or do you?

HTC One would have been an option, but at the time of availability, the Z was then but now considerably cheaper and HTC can not be expanded via memory card. Since I have a lot of music and videos, I need a lot of memory.

Bought So, Z in new condition on Warehouse Deals. Unit arrived, really like new incl. Charging station.
Super processing, very chic ON / OFF button on the side, super nice rear glass. After the start and the usual account registrations me looks the huge screen in all its glory - Ultra Sharp!
But ... it is true, a little pale, it seems, as read in many reports. Something milky ....
Performance here and there has some stuttering. Hmmm ... first a little sobering. The gray bars (top and bottom) bother me. No, it's been really great, but .... somehow not quite fit to the outer shell Premium. Everything is very good, but not quite PREMIUM like the housing and processing. Return? Yes, contemplated. I then read but at Google, that an update has been unleashed by Sony for Z. And Zack, it was available and I thought to myself: this can lose nothing. Result? The display is completely recalibrated, the colors become very rich in contrast, nothing seems more milky or pale. The strips are deep black in color and perfectly match the elegant design of the XZ. WOW, so I wanted to have her. Performance is now perfect, display PEAK, WLAN greatly after the update. I am completely satisfied. It is a pleasure to watch movies on the XZ, which I invite my Sony Video Unlimited.

The battery lasts 1 1/2 to 2 Days - tip for as a power package with a 5 "display.

Camera? Very good, often make snapshots of my kids and prints the images directly via my wireless printer, look great - more I say this not, it's a Smartphone - point!

When I use the NOVA Launcher Launcher, after several launchers for me it is the best and he does not look like a child's Launcher.

NFC works great, just on the NFC-enabled Bluetooth speakers (Sony BTV5) held and off you go, great thing and very simple.

The charging station only makes what Her when the Z is plugged in, a nice side dish of Sony. It definitely looks better to fly around as a loose cable. Who knows it not to wonder: what to do with the cable? :-)
Two NFC chips are also included, and a seemingly quite quality headphones that I use but not because I prefer a Bluetooth headset. Ah yes, a set of protective films, Sony has also settled for the front - and back. But there are also so already protectors attached to the device that are not practically visible. This makes Sony a long time with all smartphones, which is unfortunately not so much put into the limelight through various testers, at least not when it's Sony. I've always hated himself to install protectors, at the factory, it just looks close to invisible.

Now briefly to the size ... I thought even the Xperia S would be too great, then I thought the Xperia ion would be too large (the mine was ion far the dearest Smartphone !!!), the iPhone and Xperia P or HTC One S and several other phones that I had, we do not need to talk further. The Z is definitely the biggest and I do not want to miss! You get used to it really fast, so fast that I thought the Pansonic Eluga after two days I would a child's toy in her hand: -D It seems no longer so big and when you get used to the 5 "inches what started happening incredibly quickly, you want to have no more small display. And only then you know what you have been missing.
It still fits in my shirt pocket (slightly out peeking), it fits easily into the front pocket of my jeans (without disturbing), and also in the jeans pocket on the seat to fit without a difference to remember to previous phones, because - it is very thin and fairly light for the size - super SONY!

The sound of the phone is very good and the reception of the device also, everything will be the price. The switch from the GSM network to the 3G or LTE network works already so fast that I do not perceive. Since I already know quite a different smartphones that were not so smart because :-)
The XZ is really very very fast, in all that it does!

So far I have not had any software bugs or crashes.

This Smartphone I can only recommend, I am very satisfied! Just try it yourself and do not let go crazy from various magazines. In one manufacturer it is considered honorable when a battery is permanently installed because processing thereby valent, in which other manufacturers, it is considered a negative point ... well ... very objective, to have only a time called Ex. , One manufacturer is expanding its Phone thin plastic and it is judged that there is a good move by the manufacturer is because the device is thus lighter and cheaper repairs. For the other producers, it is seen as a negative thing - you can not but take the plastic flagship. Well ... all very logical :-)

Enjoy mobile choice .... hope my report could help a little bit ...
