They're basically the same. Identical specs etc.
Only differences i've been able to track:
- ZL is 5-6mm shorter
- Z is water/dust proof while ZL is not
- ZL has infrared port to act as a bravia remote
- Different build. Z is full glass while ZL uses plastic back
No info on the price, although it might be almost the same. Shame they won't bring Z and ZL in the same time to most countries - seems like half the world won't get one of them. ZL won't be available in the UK.
no i did not know there were 2 diffrent models of the same phone
But looking again the z is better as in
IP57 certified - dust and water resistant
- Water proof up to 1 meter and 30 minutes
there are a number of features that's different on both.
Infrared - ZL
water/dust resistant - Z
Size - ZL
camera shutter key - ZL
battery - ZL
glass body - Z
Dual Sim - ZL? Please confirm this one
that's all I think.

ZL is *not* dual sim.
ZL has IR blaster, camera button and slimmer bezel
Z has full glass body, is thinner and is waterproof.

Thanks if that's true Can't really confirm that one since almost all blogs state that it's dual sim
and a sony moderator can't even confirm this one.
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/101891
Nevertheless how can you say that it's not dual sim? Need some credible source to believe it.

It is not dual sim. Look at any video when they open the back. The cover on the back gives you slots for microsim and microsd, not 2 micro sim cards. Also the battery is not really bigger. It's about 30-40mah more which is basically the same if we look at 2370mah capacity.
ZL also has a better notification light.

I wouldnt consider Z to have a notification light because of how small it is, it's just like my xperia T which I barely could see.
Ok then at least call it notification led since that thingy that's glowing is a light emitting diode LED.

Do you want slightly bigger phone with water/dust proofing (Z) or smaller sized device with ir remote and no water/dust proofing (ZL)? Other than that they are basically the same with some design differences.
The Z scored better in data speeds and battery times in the spec lists on the gsm link above coupled with waterproof and shatterproof that's the one I'd get my dad lol

Check for stuck /dead pixels, dead pixels in camera. Just key in *#*#7378423#*#* on your dialer and do the tests from there to check everything is working proximity sensors etc.

Hi all!
I want to buy XZ in a few days, but I heard some bad stuff about it.
1. Battery life is very poor as I heard
2. Screens can just break in a half without a reason
3. Does that hot back trouble a lot?
Anyone can share his/her thoughts? I will really apreciate that.
Hi
these issues sound like pre release or first batch issues like most phones at release these are common issues . the phone's battery life is more then acceptable for 1 and half days use for lite to moderate use , with a suitable cover the phone is more then sturdy . the phone will only get hot after a long internet session or after playing graphic intensive games otherwise its mostly ship shape throughout the day . the xperia z wont disappoint the build quality is stil better then the samsung galaxy s4 which is a plastic phone .
have you considered the xperia z1 it has a newer xperia launcher and camera app software wise ?

Z1 is too expensive for me now unfortunately. I want to know some opinions, because I will be using it for about 2 years so i don't want to be dissapointed.

Heck, I'm much in a position just like you a few days back, grab mine already, it is a good phone,well that depending on what you previously had
Nevertheless, I have been with Sony phone all these days and 3 of my previous phone easily reach 2 years after a really rough usage, And I'm sure this one will last just like others.And, FYI, my X10 and Arc still rocking, just not as fast as this new one.

I am now using Xperia Neo, and I always have Sony Phones so XZ will be a good choice I think. But other opinions will be appreciated too

Bro before i had a Xperia Neo too.
It's a good upgrade, especially the waterproofness is nice.
Also, the screen is miles better than the Xperia Neo screen and not as bad as most peeps say.
The phone gets hot true but only uf you do intense gaming, and it's not a big problem for me.
Also the sound quality is awesome and you get a good headset with your Z.

great to see that opinion, it's very helpful I also thought about Xperia T, because my girlfriend has it, and I think I will choose between those two
Battery life lasts long enough to use during the day, before recharging when you get home. I have a thin bumper cover on mine and dropped it on a few occasions and no problems or damage. I even accidentally dropped it in the toilet, and was thankful for the water resistance My Z has become quite hot when flashing ROMs etc. but no back plate lifting so far. It's a great device IMO:thumbup:

even if I don't let me phone's battery die , after a day of use , i get like 40-50% left , and at night i plug it . About build quality , i had s4 , s2 , note 2 , htc , but believe this phone is far more superior at build quality , even so I doesn''t surpass the HTC One(even if i hear it is kind of fragile). About broken screens , don't know , I own a XZ for 3 months now but haven't droped it once.

Will T get kit kat? If not, my advice is, go for Z, guaranteed kit kat
Any other opinions? I'd rather buy it but I want to make the best choice

Coming from a HTC one (Stolen ) Only thing I miss is the more petite frame, speakers, and the ease of unlocking bootloader , camera is better (even front camera), battery life is better , waterproof, sexier than the htc (speakers made it ugly ) expandable storage, the screen sometimes I like sometimes I miss the HTC's blacks, colours seem more realistic tho with the xperia. Was going to get the Z1 but for £180 I couldnt say no to the Z.
That said I used it for a week before buying my own one (cousins ) and I fell in love with it, if I had known I would have got this from the start
Still havent unlocked bootloader keep getting weird error :\ and not sure I want too with because you loose bravia engine :|, I think there may be a clash with my fastboot drivers from the HTC? Anyway, get the Xperia you wont regret it
I will go for my XZ next weekend I think, I will post when I'll buy thanks for every opinion guyz!

N5 is not so good exept the pure super speed and 32k quadrant benchmark,
Display and etc.. are mostly equal or not as good as our Z.
And it's more expensive than Z.

Hi guys, I currently have a Sony xperjia s and I love the device. However my upgrade is due in may (a long time away yes I know, but I want to be prepared) and I want to know your thoughts of this phone, pros and cons, etc.
I really dont want to move away from Sony but I have read some bad reviews like the camera shots.
Would you recommend this phone? Would you not? Any other suggestions you might recommend?

Just read reviews and read some threads about this phone in this section.

I had the acro s before this and the difference is HUGE!
the acro s just felt like a common smartphone, the Z1 in the other hand feels more like a mini computer, I rarely use my laptop now

The yellow hue of the screen. double check first the screen of the phone before getting one. I hope your S has a great screen and if does that should be your reference. Yellowish tint is very much evident on gray areas like the notification bar. Though the latest update, .136, has the white balance and it resolves that issue but having an at least almost perfect phone at the beginning is better right. So far the battery drains fast but that is if you're a heavy user. Just use Stamina Mode amd you're good to go. Superior Auto is a hit and miss but when using manual it's great. Screen is awesome but it could have been if it is IPS like the one in Z1 Compaxt but then again it is AWESOME.

Phone is really crap! Bad screen, yellow hue, too much overheating I don't install games because of this, camera button very loose, other buttons feel like they are going to fall off, battery is good, but camera is crap even low light tripod shots are awful too much noise for such sensor, no 4K video recording, glass is not scratch resistant while holding the phone I scratch the back with my ring (I removed factory protection )... I've been SONY fan since Sony Ericsson and I gave this Z1 a chance after having Z and I must say I'm moving to Nexus ... Sony doesn't care about built quality anymore. If you want gaming this phone is pain in ***
Can the sony xperia z c6602 get the pen mode enable?
I like the feature
If you mean Pen like in Samsung note series.
If you mean that answer is No.
Xperia Z doesn't have wacom digitalizer compatible with such pens.
You still can use pens for capacitive screens, but they are not so precise and trouble-free. I tried some of them, even some "amazing mind blow super-duper awesome" ones made for iPhones but they are rubbish just like any other chinese capacitive pens.
EDIT:
oh I forgot that there is "pen mode" -_- for xperia z ultra. he...
About that, I saw post in Polish Sony Blog that they have something like that in update(but probably it was just "gloves" mode), but what update and when I have no idea.
There is such trick for Xperia Z1 so who know if its possible in XZ
here is link to Z1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2652762
Also I saw one topic for Xpeira SP, so If we can get gloves mode I dont think that it would be problem to set pen mode...
Out of curiosity I checked sys and system folders in my xperia Z, but there is no files needed for this(I thought that they maybe disabled it like in Z1 in latest kitkat update...)
