Differences between the Xperia Z and Xperia ZL:
Both devices have a great big 5 "display and a beautiful straight style.
The Xperia Z is of course a number fancier than the Xperia ZL, since fine glass was built for the case and it has an even more beautiful, longer and narrower shape than the ZL.
However, it is through the long and narrow design not ideal in the hand and the glass casing attracts fingerprints just to to.
For the back of ZL acts with its fluted plastic back less Top quality and it is a little thicker and rounded compared to Z.
A major advantage of Z against the ZL is, of course, the protection against dust and the fact that it is waterproof.
However, this protection comes at a price and so all connections must be protected with caps, which must always be open to for example to load the phone or use the jack can. This also falls off a camera button on the housing, which the ZL has, however.
Furthermore, the ZL has a stylish LED in the center of the lower edge equipment that makes etc. attention to news and the color of the image takes on even in image considerations.
The speaker is the Xperia Z on the lower right side of the unit and can therefore be easily concealed which can detract from the listening experience. Where, however, the speaker is mounted on the upper back of the ZL and thus can not be easily concealed.
The front camera is located as opposed to the Z ZL in the lower right corner, which will change the viewing angle minimal ...
The ZL has on the back a cover which provides slots for micro SIM and SD card. Unfortunately, this flap may not fit so completely to the linear design and looks a bit headstrong.
Even the ZL has compared to the Z an infrared interface with which you can use the phone as a remote control for example to control the TV or the system (which works perfectly and wonderfully uncomplicated).
Otherwise, the inner values of the two smartphones are likely identical but his (I'll enlighten me happy and complete the review.
So it is at the end a matter of taste and one's own needs or for which model you choose.
The Outer:
I like the minimalist design with straight lines and corners very well who might fit the rear with its lid for Micro SIM and SD card, not the very noble appearance.
It certainly deserves respect, building a cell phone with a 5 "large screen so compact that it is still pleasant in the hand and fits well in your pocket.
By fluted plastic back that feels rubber Similarly, the device is safe and pleasant at all times in the hand.
Centrally on the right side there is the on / off switch, which also provides for unlocking the screen, this can be well served even at Handed use.
The controls are tight and have pleasant pressure points even if this would somewhat softer may fail.
The build quality is really very good and nothing wobbles or creaks.
Really fancy, I find the stylish LED in the center of the lower edge equipment that makes etc. attention to messages and who will receive even in image considerations, the color of the image.
The display:
5 "radiate a full HD splendor and invite you to Touchen.
The resolution is of course bombastic and the colors radiate in full intensity, unfortunately the display loses at every angle somewhat in intensity, but as one looks only straight on normally, I do not find it bothersome, even though this may be the competition better ...
I myself have the brightness intensity are only halfway, of course, the screen loses to its glory, but I am still happy even if color fetishists will probably turn up the brightness until it stops.
The Inner:
The inner values are the same in terms of the Xperia z and it is therefore almost at the cutting edge in terms of performance and Co (up to an infrared port).
Websites build up rapidly and also during normal operation there is no hanger or dropouts, everything runs smoothly and flawlessly.
Unfortunately the phone with intensive continuous use is a bit hot, it is not hot but you can clearly feel the heat, under normal use, this effect remains out but.
Of course, the current Android software is to respond on board and also the Sony surface perfectly, provides thoughtful little touches and convinces finally.
But everyone has different preferences as so it is again a matter of taste ...
The internal memory offers 16GB space and can be expanded via SD card up to 64GB, which is great!
Camera / speakers:
The camera acts so with their 13MegaPixel very potent, but affords in low light repeatedly Patzer, but I find the camera for a mobile phone absolutely fine and I did in bright light, can make really nice pictures.
In addition, at one's disposal in order to let off steam a lot of options and get the best out of the pictures.
The Intelligent Fotografierhilfe is quite good at lighting tends somewhat to overexposure.
I was afraid that the speaker can not meet my expectations or that I will be very, very disappointed compared to the HTC One. But to my relief supplies this a good sound from the volume and also fits, of course has the HTC One with stereo speakers in the lead but for a loudspeaker is the sound of the Xperia ZL really good.
Telephony / reception:
A really good voice quality and understanding we must surely in this day and age and in this price expect yes and you also get, there's nothing to complain about and so get a clean sound and you will be on the other side very well understood, so must the existence.
The reception is okay too and I can find neither an improvement nor deterioration to my predecessor phone.
There's nothing to complain about!
Battery:
The battery is, unfortunately, permanently installed, but what I find a shame not for everyone is a point of criticism.
With such a huge display and the power it stands to reason that not just the battery sets up new records. And so it is no surprise that he has in the evening at the outlet when used intensively.
In standby mode, the phone but surprisingly consumes almost no power and with normal use the battery will last up to two days through.
However, the mobile phone offers in addition, various energy-saving settings and there are constant hints on how to reduce energy consumption.
I'm with the battery performance against the power and the huge display, then quite satisfied ...
Other:
A nice feature is the infrared interface with which you can control its example system or TV, this works wonderfully simple and perfect.
The memo is very useful in this you can even with the finger painting / write on the notepad.
The media player is pretty neat and offers many sound settings and nice visual extras, as well as information about the artist or the song.
Nett is the SensMe function when the music is divided into divisions such as emotional relaxation, evening or energetic. The synchronization takes this somewhat, since the songs are matched via the Internet.

Contra
-... Weaken with small
IPMENT is under heavy usage quickly warm
-High Price
Or the back in plastic (but feels rubbery and ensures good grip)
Cover for Micro SIM and SD card does not match the design
Conclusion:
The mobile phone is despite the 5 "large displays very well in the hand and is still pockets fit.
The design I find super, even if the flap on the back do not like quite fit into the picture.
Who does not from any point of view a razor sharp image is expected with the large HD display sure to have his joy.
Pictures shoot, listening to music, surfing, playing and calling, everything is with the Xperia ZL in good quality possible and so the phone is ideal for everyday use for me and the little extras round out the package.
The battery lasts in normal use by up to two days, which is fine, even if in this day and age wants something more stamina.
I'd give 4.5 stars if possible and round due to the great design and processing on 5 stars on
