Technical sheet of Sony Xperia Z

Description

Perfect screen for viewing in the worst lighting conditions, stunning sharpness and resolution. Maybe we're talking about the perfect screen size. Enough for most average users, ensuring maximum usability and not sacrificing portability. We can say that not being particularly fine, it is not perceived as a "fat" phone. Surely with a millimeter less we would be talking about an improvement in its exceptional design. They care much materials used for this terminal. We are facing one of the best finishes of the mobile market. It is a phone with enough power to cover more than the average needs of any user. Only if you want to squeeze it to play the latest games of the market, you ought to avoid it for the rest of "mortal" users this may be the perfect terminal in terms of processing refers. You have a good camera that will allow us to go "in step" in most conditions, does not reach the level of "high end" but it covers more than the average needs of any user. Does not have excessive storage capacity, but neither is among the worst in the market, it is certainly sufficient for most users. Thanks to the Gorilla screen of this phone, you can forget about having to protect it to prevent scratches. Its battery is perhaps one of the weak points, so keep that in mind because you may need to charge it throughout the day, if you make heavy use of it. Be very aware of this feature when choosing this phone.

      What is a Ki score?
      Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
      How do we calculate the Ki?

      In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

      • Design and screen
      • Hardware and performance
      • Camera
      • Connectivity
      • Battery

      Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

      Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

      Does the Ki score change?

      The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
