Hi all, I have the xperia z in black, when I got it i was surpirised to see a small raised square on the rear of the phone with a "z" logo in it this is situated between the camera and the "xperia" logo on the rear glass.
All the pictures I have seen don't have this, why is that? Anyone know??
It's just a sticker to tell you where the NFC transmitter is. You can safely remove it if you want to put a protector on the rear of your phone.

The Xperia Z has many features, this is one of them:
The Xperia Z features tempered glass and anti-shatter film on the front and back, and high levels of dust and water resistance.

Your son scratched a plastic surface.
Take it off, buy a screen protector, and replace.
The xperia z has a glued on anti shatter film that you can remove and replace with any screen protector of your choice. The only downside is that you lose the Sony logo
Press thanks if I have helped

Yeah it's only the anti shatter film. But if you do remove it you will loose the Sony logo. Some people find that a plus. Also some reporting more responsive screen.

Why the Sony logo does not come pressed on the screen but in the film?
Screen Technology?

No one knows, we can only speculate...
Most people think that it's because it's cheaper this way.

DoCoMo for example put their logo in that position maybe it's a way to allow personalizations

This. This is my guess. Sony doesn't have a history of cheating so I doubt that's the reason now.

In another forum, a guy said he was part of screen technology, which because it is thin, it would be impossible to press the Sony logo.
He had posted a picture explaining!
Yeah really hate the fact the Sony logo is pressed on the film. It's the only reason why I haven't removed mine. I have a hard enough time already telling which way is the right way up. Just hope we don't see another omnibalace design from Sony. The bottom bezel looks much bigger than it should be.
I prefer on screen buttons but I thought that was meant to help reduce the chassis. Maybe Sony was absent at that meeting because the Z is certainly taller than it needs to be.

If you look closer, you'll notice it has symmetrical proportions, so i guess sony guys had that on their minds... ZL is living prof that extra dimensions are here just cause pure esthetics. My only complain... they could have put larger battery also then...

I cant find anywhere on the net if the xperia logo on the back is pressed into the glass or the 'shatter-proof film'...the reason I ask is that I have protected my screen, but the back has small scratches. Ide hate to loose the xperia logo in an effort to renew its original luster with a new film...anyone know?
The Xperia logo in thw back doesn't come out while removing the film.

Check with your country's sony store if removing asf does void warranty before removing it.
Since Sony doesn't want people to remove the screen protector is there any type of anti fingerprint coding on it? I mean If I remove the screen protector will the screen be nice to use or will it just get all smudged in fingerprints that are impossible to remove?

No coating, just straight glass...but I'd recommend getting a matt finish (anti smudge) screen protector if u are going to remove.. Or unless ur screen is already scratched, simply apply it over the top of the factory one. Couldnt personally tell a difference in responsiveness by doing so.

Good evening!
I have a Z without any protection film. I have noticed than in some angels or in direct contact with strong light i have TINY TINY scratches on my screen. So my question is: Is there any way of removing scratches from my device? Polish for.example?
Answers will me much appriciated !
Sorry for bad English ..
There should be a shatter proof screen protector already applied on. It came with the phone like that, so you most likely scratched that not the glass itself. Just remove that and apply a screen protector on.

Be aware,when removing factory foil,Sony logo removed as well...
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
No way to remove the scratches if they are on the shatter proof shield. It's made of plastic.
If you remove it, though, you will lose the Sony logo because it is printed on the plastic, rather than on the body of the phone.
I have removed the pre-applied protector from sony Its the glass itself that have tiny scratches ..

Do you still have the SONY logo at the front of your screen??
If you don't then: Well it's your own fault, you asked for it by not using a screen protector.
I don't think we're all on the same page. He could have removed the layer that came with it (with words on it like instructions) and then there's another layer that has the Sony logo.
Like what the above person said,
if you do not have a Sony logo at the front top then you scratched the glass.
If you have the Sony logo at the front top then you scratched the pre installed layer. (this one you can remove and install a new screen protector) if you choose to remove this layer, the Sony logo will be gone. And some say it will void your warranty.

If the scratch not too deep on the glass. U may want read this for polishing tempered glass. Hope helps

Hello. Bought a used Xperia V today and when i reached home i looked closely at the front panel of V and i'm shocked to see that there is no Sony logo on front of phone. Other than that every thing on phone looks genuine and its also water proof as checked by the shopkeeper on front of me.
What i want to ask that is its original ? or its chinese made phone ? its model is lt25i. Please answer as soon as possible. thanks.

yes screen protector is removed. is sony logo is placed on screen protector but not on glass ?
are you talking about plastic screen protector or scratch resistant glass ?
the sony logo is on the factory fitted screen protector that many users remove. It is nothing to worry about
thank you all for your replies. i was worried about it but now i'm relaxed. thanks.
So the sony logo is removeable? Interesting..same as xperia z?

Oh, that is ugly. they put that logo on the screenprotector?
on my Xperia T i have both logos on the glass, removed the screenprotector and still have sony and xperia logo

AFAIK, this plastic screen protector is there to make the screen "shatterproof", which is true because when the glass screen shatters, the plastic cover will hold it together. I'm still wondering why they put the sony logo on there

for me its not a problem at all. even the "SONY" logo removed, its still a sony product. the performance and quality is still the same with or without the sony logo. i just scared if i remove the screen protector along with the sony logo my phone will turn into an iphone.

It's very easy to replace the back glass that does include a new lens. If it bugs you that much that's an option.

You have to heat up the back then the adhesive comes loose, make sure you order a back glass that has the adhesive already applied and then you reheat that when you put it on. I did it on my Xperia Z and it worked fine. It's basically just a piece of waterproof tape that keeps the water out.
Or mayb you can use some p2000 waterproof sandingpaper and allot of patients? Don't know for sure, replacing is always possible...

I meant obviously sites where the back cover comes with adhesive on.. but at that point I will ask the seller himself. thanks bud!
No probl.
Can you mayb try to polish the back after removing? I am quite anxious to know if it would work, in that case 1 can pollish the whole phone, also the frame (to end up with an mirror/chrome finish)?

Hi!
I ordered this (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/for-...cover-back-housing-back-glass/1603707841.html) back plate two weeks ago and it arrived yesterday, my old one was broken.. I don't know if it's glass or hard plastic, but it's holding up great without any protection!
There is no shatter film on the backplate, so I think its not original but OK.
It was very easy to take the old one off; just some heat, a sharp knife and a guitar pick did the trick.
The new one came with adhesive, and after cleaning the frame it went right on!
All in all very nice, and easy install, may be original, may be not.
Press thanks if I helped you :thumbup:

Hi!
For copyright issues it's blurred on the site, but it's there. First I was worried about the quality of the logo's and branding, but when it arrived, all the logo's (Sony, Xperia, NFC icon, G camera icon) were all very crisp and detailed!
It looks like the real deal
Hi
I recently saw this white patch on the camera glass and I don't think it is from the outside because when I rub it it doesn't go. I have attached a image of how it looks. Only shows when looking from different angles aswell. It wasn't there when I got the phone and been using the phone for 3months. Also I haven't put the phone into water but I did wipe with wet cloth that came with screen protector and noticed this after that. It doesn't affect the camera I think. What do you think I should do? Any help appreciated.
Thanks
I have that problem too!!
