Let's take a look at NFC and connectivity
NFC has been part of Android since the Nexus S launched in 2010, but aside from Android Beam and the ability to automate elements of your phone's functionality with Special NFC tags,but only a few hardware manufactures have been able to utilize its power.NFC allows the device to communicate with other Sony products like the latest Bravia televisions,Sony's wireless speakers and Sony's Smart watch.

This of course could change as 2013 rolls onwards expect to see other providers offering 4G in the not-too-distant future and hope Myanmar's MPT picks up 4G connectivity.
Lights,Camera,Action! Camera and Video Recording
Sony is really pushing mobile camera technology.The Xperia Z offers a 13.1 megapixels of imaging goodness.Sony’s latest phone produces some wonderful images, providing lush shots regardless of lighting conditions.The usual selection of options are present and correct, including image stabilisation and HDR. You can also use 'Superior Auto' and allow the phone itself to select the correct scene for the snap you’re taking. HDR is also available during video recording, which results in some gorgeous footage although like HDR stills, you should be prepared for some almost unreal, otherworldly results.![]() |

How's the Battery Performance and Storage?
A bright 5-inch screen and quad-core processor and 2 GB of RAM but what would they do without good battery.When it comes to battery Sony's Xperia Z is quite a hog.If you’re using the phone a lot and the screen is on a high brightness level, you’ll only get around four to five hours.Sony is clearly aware of this and has introduced Stamina Mode, which completely disables all mobile data activity when your screen powers down. When engaged at night, Stamina Mode is aggressive enough to ensure that battery consumption is as meagre as possible during Cnet's test, they say they noticed that the battery level hardly dropped at all during the wee hours.But of course, losing all connection to the outside world isn’t going to make the Xperia Z particularly useful in the daytime, which is why Sony has also factored in customization options.You can add exceptions to Stamina Mode to allow certain apps to maintain a mobile data connection when it is engaged. While it’s true that the same level of power management can be achieved with apps such as Tasker and Locale, it’s encouraging to see Sony take such a proactive approach.For storage Sony Offer 16 GB, I guess its enough for me because its got an Micro SD/HC card slot which can be added up to 64 GB making it 80 GB in total.

Last But Not Least The Conclusion!
Sony’s previous Xperia devices have always been a little lacking in some way, but with the Xperia Z, it feels like it's finally found its stride. Aside from the lack of Android 4.2 which won’t be an issue for very long, according to Sony.The quad-core processor is a monster, the 1080p screen is pin-sharp and the waterproof design will help the phone find favour with butter-fingered mobile users who are prone to accidentally dropping their expensive devices into random pools of liquid.The Waterproof function in the Xperia Z is very useful for festival such as Thingyan(Water Festival~Yes People splash water at each other) in my country Myanmar(Burma).With the Xperia Z, Sony has fired the first shot in the smart phone war of 2013.Sony is now in for a bit of a challenge with the Samsung Galaxy S4 going to release by the end of this month.Here are the Pros and Cons of the Xperia Z
Pros
- Appealing design
- Waterproof and dust-resistant
- Powerful quad-core processor
- MicroSD card slot
- Excellent camera
- Stunning Music Qualtiy
- HD Voice
Cons
