00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,120
welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:11,440
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:15,160
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is

4
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:25,519
linkis we've got Jeremy from Sony mobile to tell us about the Xperia Z this is a

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,080
1080p smartphone with a 5in display that

6
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:30,199
has a number of pretty cool features Jeremy tell us what makes this thing so

7
00:00:28,599 --> 00:00:33,079
special so some of the cool Fe features on this guy first before I even power on

8
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:37,399
the screen something like the Omni balance design so very Square very kind

9
00:00:35,239 --> 00:00:42,120
of cool Sharp Images or sharp corners on it um it's a fully tempered glass front

10
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:45,960
and back on the design so very very overall cool design we've got a mil

11
00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:49,120
aluminum power button on average most people are hitting their power button on

12
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:52,079
their device about 67 times a day to bring it in and out of standby mode so

13
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:56,079
why not make it something cool and standoffish and also uh something that

14
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:00,480
like just overall is really cool and easy to use and it gives you that whole

15
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:04,400
Sony look to it um I don't want you to power it on quite yet can I haven't

16
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:08,119
actually held this yet oh wow so this is probably this is actually as lighter or

17
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:11,119
maybe the same weight as something like an iPhone 4 isn't it I'd say it's

18
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:15,320
probably around the same weight yeah it's it's got to be pretty close feels

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:19,840
feels actually lighter to me in spite of as you guys can see the significant size

20
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:23,799
difference so obviously something like a double glass uh approach on the front

21
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:27,240
and back is something we've seen before but with the iPhone 4 it added a lot of

22
00:01:25,479 --> 00:01:30,680
weight and you could see that Apple went went away from that with the iPhone 5

23
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:36,479
but because you guys are using tempered glass you don't have to worry so much about having such a thick piece of glass

24
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,479
then beautiful so once I turn on the display you're going to see that's a

25
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:45,200
beautiful 5 in 1080P full or high resolution or high definition excuse me

26
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,240
uh display um we've got 1920 x 1080 resolution and it's driven by the Bravia

27
00:01:46,759 --> 00:01:51,439
2 engine so the Bravia 2 engine is what's going to give you that higher

28
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:55,159
contrast better picture better saturation better blacks overall once I

29
00:01:53,479 --> 00:01:58,840
unlock the device you get right into the Sony user experience or the Sony UI you

30
00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:01,960
can see it's very nicely laid out moves very slow very

31
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,320
very fluid and very nicely you can customize it very easily as well if I just pinch on the screen I've now got

32
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,679
access to all my home screens and I can customize them however I want so in the

33
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:13,239
past you'd have to drag and drop your apps from your from your widget taskbar

34
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:17,000
from your app app drawer now you just can click on your apps and I can simply

35
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,760
throw them right onto my home screen if I want to delete a home screen or add a home screen I can simply just press the

36
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,200
x button and it's going to get rid of that home screen for me so tell us about

37
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,959
the durability so durability in terms of

38
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,239
this device one thing that's really really cool with it is is water resistance so you can submerge it up to

39
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,959
one let's go to the demo okay let's go to the demo now what I really meant was in

40
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:41,800
terms of the durability cuz we were planning to come and look at the water resistance demo later but I just want to

41
00:02:40,239 --> 00:02:45,680
show you guys very briefly what kind of an IO sort of structure we have it's got

42
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:50,959
an aluminum frame all around it so durability wise it should be as good as

43
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:53,519
almost anything else with the tech yeah absolutely I mean it's with any

44
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,800
smartphone you obviously don't want to throw it off off a building or anything like that but it should be pretty

45
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,879
durable and pretty strong for anything you're going to throw at it I mean I'm a huge fan of the whole glass on on the

46
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:05,519
front and the back thing because what I love about glass is that you got to

47
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,239
really work at it to scratch it whereas with plastic if you're a Galaxy S3 owner

48
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:14,159
and you're not using a case I guarantee your phone is scratched to high hell and

49
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:17,720
back micro SD expansion is included and next to the power there's just a volume

50
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,360
rocker but other than that the the design is very

51
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,519
minimalistic head jack at so yeah your headphone jack everything's hidden

52
00:03:22,519 --> 00:03:29,120
because of the water resistance everything's everything's hidden underneath and it's all water sealed so

53
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,319
that we can throw it in the water sir

54
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,920
we've got a little one demo right here so if I press this button it's going to dunk the phone in the water pull it back

55
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,080
out you can dunk this into the water up to 1 M for up to 30 minutes and

56
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:41,720
nothing's going to happen on the phone so we're just going to wait for it

57
00:03:40,239 --> 00:03:46,760
to dip in one more time you're going to see it is totally working that is a real

58
00:03:44,519 --> 00:03:52,159
phone thank you very much Jeremy no problem guys this was very helpful guys
