At the CES 2013, Sony went on to unveil the Sony Xperia Z and the Sony Xperia ZL smartphones and since then many buyers have been waiting to get their hands-on the smartphone but there was no word from Sony if the smartphones will ever reach the Indian shores or not.
But it seems that Sony is planning to launch the Sony Xperia Z and the Xperia ZL in India very soon as the devices has been spotted with a ‘Coming Soon’ tag on Sony India’s website.
It is indeed a great news for prospective buyers who never had the luck to grab the Sony Xperia T and Xperia V in India as Sony never launched the devices in the subcontinent but now may have all the luck in their favour with the Xperia Z and ZL.
There is still no information on the pricing of the smartphone but the specifications of the Xperia Z and Xperia ZL are as below:

While Sony Xperia ZL arrives with the following specifications:
- 5-inch full HD display with OptiContrast Technology
- Display resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels

But this also makes us wonder as to why would Sony launch two different variant of the same device in India but please note that nothing is confirmed until Sony officially announces the devices.
