Sony Xperia Z

The Sony Xperia Z is yet another stellar offering from Sony which is slated to pump in some more ammo into the big battle of steroidal Android Smartphones. The stunning phone from Sony is powered by the cutting-edge Android ver.4.1 (Jelly Bean), and runs on a robust Quad-core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm processor. 

Needless to say, users are in for a staggering performance and an amazing multimedia and app experience! The phone flaunts a vivid and razor sharp water and dust-resistant 5-inch TFT Touchscreen display boasting of an astounding screen resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The smashing Reality Display runs on the ingenious Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2 and comes duly safeguarded by a resilient and ground-breaking shatter-proof sheet on scratch-resistant glass technology. 

The device boasts of a copious 2GB inbuilt RAM plus a whopping 16GB internal storage capacity that can be thankfully expanded to a 32GB. 

The device flaunts an incredible 13MP Exmor RS primary snapper (with a brilliant LED flash) that allows fuss-free capturing of shots even during instances of low ambient light. What's more, there is a secondary 2MP camera onboard that lets users indulge in hassle-free online video calling and chats. The secondary camera also doubles up as a video recorder and enables video recording at a decent 1080p (at the rate of 30FPS). 

The USP of the phone, however, remains its inimitable water-resistant feature. Yes that's true! The phone can withstand exposure to roughly one meter of water for full 30 minutes. So, those who love to perform their daily rituals with their smartphone in tow may simply lug the device with them to their bathtub and mess around with their favourite tasks and apps while at it!!! 

What's more, the phone promises a distinctive Battery Stamina Mode that lets users can exercise a more effective battery control and boost the standard standby time by up to four times. Besides, the showstopper from Sony appears to be a very intelligent device, as it is able to detect exactly when the screen is off and it automatically shuts down superfluous battery-intensive apps, only to restart them when the screen is back in action. 

For those who have got all the moolah to expend on a top-notch smartphone, this one remains a superlative option!
