The
Xperia Z’s phablet-sized relative has a 6.3-inch, full-HD screen and an
inherited disregard for the perils of water – it’s encased in
waterproof aluminium and glass that lets it dive up to 1.5m. Protected
inside sits a 2.2GHz quadcore processor and there’s an eight-meg camera
on the rear. It may be big, but at just 212g it won’t sink like a stone.
And at just 6.6mm thick it’s competing with Huawei’s Ascend P6 (p30)
for the title of world’s slimmest smartphone, too.
