Sony certainly did not short-change its flagship quad-core smartphone. The Xperia Z boasts a collection of impressive features: A 5-inch HD display, an advanced 13-megapixel camera, and a 2GB RAM. Furthermore, it is also water and dust-resistant. The only thing we see that is not as impressive as the rest of its specs is the 32GB microSD card slot (could have been 64GB), but considering the rest, we are not so offended...
On-paper Review score: 
The Sony Xperia Z can record HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) videos. Awesome! But we couldn't determine whether it had an HDMI port or not. Granted, HDMI (which lets you connect to your HDTV), is not an absolute necessity, but it seems like a desirable feature on an HD phone.

These days, we would hope for more than just 2-megapixel of selfie cam resolution.

It's frustrating that we were not able to find information about its weight.
The Sony Xperia Z is trumpeted as a rugged phone (more sturdy, better water-resistance, etc).

The screen is larger than usual, making it a phablet: 5.0 inches and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels means about 10.68 square inches and an image quality of at least 440.37 dots per inch (DPI)!

It includes a large internal memory (16000MB), but it may sometimes be more interesting to buy a phone with an included memory card instead, since the memory card can then be reused in a future cell phone.
The Xperia Z is stands above the crowd with its 13.1-megapixel camera. It also includes the following options: Exmor RS, HDR (High Dynamic Range) video, Superior Auto, Sweep Panorama, Take picture in video mode, Modeless Ui, Burst mode, PlayMemories Online (upload photos), Face detection, Geo-tagging, Image stabiliser, Picture Effect, Quick Launch, Red-eye reduction, Scene recognition, Self-timer.
