You get for ~ 300, a handsome 5 inch Full HD smartphone, what even more recent devices in nothing!
Since the new translucent Nokia 930, the start ~ 500 costs, at roughly the same features, as compared with the Xperia Z, I opted for second option!
The device has a good battery life, and is quite fast despite Android, and functional!
The mobile cameras are perfectly acceptable, and you can order quite replace a standard digital camera.
The size itself is for me, although I am a big man, with correspondingly large hands, already borderline, or more than 5 inches, it should not be in order to use it in a meaningful way.
Also, there is not a woman mobile, then there probably is just too big to get it to use a cell phone!
I previously had a Windows Phone, and this is still the better mobile OS, compared to Android, because it was simply unifies more, and the interface looks harmonious.
Still, I was not willing to pay 200 more for the Nokia Lumia 930, just because of that, no SD card slot has, however, the Xperia already!
In principle leaves no wish Sony device, open, strong big screen, music optimizations (Walkman), through Android good Multitask Ting possible and also the Synchronizing with TV / Blu Ray equipment possible to display the screen contents on the TV.
Certainly, many gimmick, but nice.
The task messages, phone calls and Co. managed the Xperia indeed, and the price is also fully ok, for what they offer.
Probably the high end smartphone, with the currently best cost / performance ratio!
