Always On - Unboxing the Sony Xperia Z smartphone

2013-03-19
we have a hot announcement from CES inside this box probably the strongest competitor I would say to some of these like really hero smart phones like the Samsung Galaxy s4 this name may surprise you sony sony xperia the Xperia Z right here let's get it out so this is no question a high-end smartphone one of the other things about it is that supposedly it's waterproof we get the International unlocked models so we get an extra little charger there may be slight differences not usually but just like that's a good-looking box yeah Xperia Z not to be confused with a Sony Xperia tablet Z that did confuse me that one's coming later and now it's over Chevy that's a nice touch I like in front things know so that you could totally like protect it yeah wow that is very thin and light in fact also in the Box we have oh that's not norms that's the I assume that's not I mean this is our international charger thing that is nice and you know what that weight is with the battery yeah that reason it's light for something so big yeah alright so then inside the box we got our little charger which is it's a cool power button mini USB oh I love that okay can I just say that my current complaint about all consumer electronics is that the power button is virtually invisible and flush with the plastic and I do not understand that because why would you want to make the device harder to turn on I want to turn it on and therefore use it I really feel like we've come to something here do you need to get that out clearly yeah way more than I thought there's a bully rant for you alright so some headphones yes please turn on and a bunch of different you buds doesn't need to be charged maybe we hope vibrated that's a nice big display now here it has a fast process or maybe it could get through startup faster we go awesome alright we're gonna play with it for a little bit and get it all set up while we do that let's run down the specs the Sony Xperia Z has a 1.5 gigahertz quad-core Snapdragon processor and 2 gigs of RAM so it's snappy it has a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 Sony's calling it a reality display not retina reality the pixel density though is 443 pixels per inch compared to the iPhone 5 326 the phone is thin at 7.9 millimeters and also extremely light weighing only 146 grams it comes with Android 4.1 jelly bean but sony says it'll be upgraded to 4.2 very soon it features a 13.1 megapixel camera which is very nice 16 gigs of built-in storage but it's expandable using micro sd it supports 4G connectivity and it's got NFC as well sony claims the phone is water resistant with submersion up to 30 minutes it's available now in the UK for 450 euros I gotta say I think Sony has kind of a winner with this phone I'm surprised it's really nice-looking the camera is awesome cameras awesome which is a huge selling point I don't know why more manufacturers aren't going after the iPhone on camera alone yeah and we both love that power button I love the raised power button my only complaint right out of the gate is that it is loaded with Sony crap where my favorite I assume you can delete it and it's still jellybean so it's gonna be plenty customizable but I really do think that this is a strong competitor to be a great seller it's really surprising yeah good job Sony who do you
