I too have been given the Sony Xperia z to review and when i first took it out of the package my immediate thought was on the size of it, its big, much bigger than the iphone i currently use so i could be slightly bias.
If you were using it outside in a manual job you would have to have a protective cover because if you drop it your going to know about it. The term phablet is about right.
However, the graphics and display are very good. Its ideal for downloading films, games etc There are quite a few apps already installed on it making life a bit easier. I think the small port coverings espcially where you charge up are a bit flimsy and liable to come off in time.Sound too is excellent.
I left it on for several days and the battery life seems to be very good too, played a few tunes and they didnt sound "tinny" as some earlier models did.
As a new model it is up there with the others and should be a good seller, that is if you like big phones.
