When Apple brought out iPad, the world was amazed at such a sleek flat tablet but this time its a newer evolution as Sony brings to you the ultimate and most powerful smartphone Tech developers probably think is impossible.
The New Sony Xperia would shock the world when its unveiled sometime in the First week of March but before then lets take a brief comparison with Apples latest Smartphone iPhone 5.
• Processor: The iPhone 5 has a 1.2GHz Apple A6 dual-core processor while the Xperia Z steps up to a 1.5GHz Qualcomm quad-core Krait processor.
• Display: The famed Retina display is a feature of the iPhone 5. It has a 4-inch IPS LCD screen with resolution of 1136 x 640 and ppi of 326. The Xperia Z on the other hand has a 5-inch TFT full HD display with resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a whopping 441ppi.
•RAM and Storage: The iPhone 5 has 1GB of RAM and either 16, 32 or 64GB of internal storage, sadly non-expandable.
The Xperia Z has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, expandable to 32GB via microSD.
• Camera: You'll find an 8-megapixel rear camera on the iPhone 5 with autofocus, LED flash, simultaneous HD image and video recording, face detection, geo- tagging, panorama, touch focus and HDR. It's
capable of 1080p video capture with LED video light, geo-tagging and video stabilization and it also totes a 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera.
The Xperia Z has a 13.1-megapixel rear camera with autofocus, LED flash, face detection, geo-tagging, image stabilization, touch focus, panorama and HDR. It also has 1080p video capture with continuous autofocus, video light, stabilizer and HDR plus a 2.2-megapixel front-facing camera.
• Battery: A non-removable 1440 mAh battery features for the iPhone 5 whereas the Xperia Z packs a 2330 mAh battery, also non-removable.
• Operating System: The iPhone 5 runs iOS 6.0, upgradable now to iOS 6.1. Meanwhile the Xperia Z will launch running Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, upgradable to 4.2 with the Timescape UI.
• Dimensions, weight: The iPhone 5 measures 123.8 mm x 58.6 mm x 7.6mm and weighs only 112g. It comes in two colors, black with slate or white with silver. The Xperia Z measures 139 mm x 71 mm x 7.9mm and weighs 146g.
• Color options: There are three color options for the Xperia Z, black, white or purple. While the iPhone 5 has
• Water Resistant: The Xperia Z is water- resistant and dust-resistant and also supports NFC, the iPhone 5 lacks both.
• Price: Obviously prices vary from region to region but as an example we'll give you some US pricing. The iPhone 5 starts at $199 for the 16GB model going up to $299 and $399 respectively for the 32 or 64GB models.
That's on the usual two-year contract. If
you want to purchase the iPhone 5 unlocked without a contract it is available through Apple for $649, $749 or $849 depending on storage. No US pricing has been announced yet for the Xperia Z but it's estimated that it will be around the same $199 price with a two-year contract and unlocked at around
$600 to $650. Culled from phonereviews.co.uk
In my own views I see iPhone 5 as a more lighter and simple to use smartphone but if you need a super phone with extra ordinary device that you can boast about with more megapixel and an expandable memory of 32GB then Xperia Z should be the best choice for you.
