Earlier today, Sony went on to launch its flagship Xperia Z smartphone in India for Rs.38,990 and we went hands-on with the dustproof and waterproof smartphone. The Sony Xperia Z has been launched in 3 color options: Black, White and Purple.
The first thing which you will notice about the Sony Xperia Z is that the large 5-inch full-HD display which is powered by Sony Bravia Mobile Engine 2 with OptiContrast Technology.
Once you hold the Xperia Z in your hands, the first thing that strikes you is that the device feels very light and it measures just 7.9mm thick.
