Smartphone screens have become increasingly larger, for a good reason. You can now do a lot more things with the smartphone: surf the web, interact with your social network, play games, watch high-definition videos, listen to music. Sony's latest Android smartphone, the Xperia Z, can do all these and more: it is also water and dust resistant.

Sony has promoted the Xperia Z as "the best of Sony in a smartphone", and in general I believe it is so. The Xperia Z is certainly one of the better smartphones that offer a good list of features that benefit the end-users. The Quadrant benchmark hits an impressively high 7,451 points.
