1080p display with BRAVIA Engine 2. Seems like a 5'' or even larger display has become the standard configuration for flagships nowadays. Look at those big screen monsters at CES 2013: Alcatel One Touch Scribe HD, Huawei Ascend Mate, ZTE Grand S, etc. And what makes the Xperia Z difference is the screen processing software from Sony’s HDTV range, Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2. This technology does real-time processing to make video content more bright, colorful and engaging on the 5'' TFT LCD HD Reality Display. Sounds sweet,right? It should be very comfortable to watch HD movies or play PowerPoint on Xperia Z, I think.

Variation. As the previous reports, the Sony Xperia Z has a variation model: Xperia ZL (former name Xperia X). The ZL model shares almost all of the specifications as the regular Xperia Z, but it's shorter, thicker and not waterproof. Which model with carriers would be available for the US market is currently unknown.
