It's the second phone after the HTC Butterfly, to feature a full-HD display.  It's priced about Rs.7,000 cheaper than the Butterfly at Rs. 38,990.Discover the quick and easy way to wirelessly share music and photos from your smartphone.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Display </span></strong></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">                   <strong>A screen as impressive as HDTV – Full HD Reality Display.</strong></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">The Xperia Z's display is one of the best displays we've come across. However, we had some minor gripes with the viewing angles. We feel that the viewing angles could have been better. Sunlight legibility was good only when we pumped up the brightness as the screen is pretty reflective. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />After the HTC Butterfly, the Xperia Z is the second phone in the Indian market to sport a 1080p display. The phone sports a 5-inch TFT display that has a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels and a pixel density of 441ppi.  Xperia Z brings you the highest level of HD available – 1080 progressive scan. Expertise from our BRAVIA TV engineers goes into our mobile screens, to bring you the same quality you’d expect from a top quality HDTV. The 5” full HD Reality Display also has very high pixel density – 443 pixels per inch, for razor sharp pictures – and superior brightness.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXgUTcHyVnmBKa-zvKnRvJhNWetZguGQToSyoi56XqQ4S2JXeRV0lzkoNr5yt93ZQ_Bv6tuDb04EKnGzs1rymMWgaB3fETyl_R2ddWGvA2Rz8vddFRn7fh8XRdWGLgesVFziVsbZFMemc/s1600/xperia-z-features-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; height: 226px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; width: 318px;"><img border="0" height="180" mwa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXgUTcHyVnmBKa-zvKnRvJhNWetZguGQToSyoi56XqQ4S2JXeRV0lzkoNr5yt93ZQ_Bv6tuDb04EKnGzs1rymMWgaB3fETyl_R2ddWGvA2Rz8vddFRn7fh8XRdWGLgesVFziVsbZFMemc/s320/xperia-z-features-.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><li>5.0 inches TFT</li><li>16 million colours, 1920 x 1080 pixels</li><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Camera</span></strong></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">HDR for photos and videos captures natural colours in any light.
