00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:07.120
welcome to Linus Tech tips at CES 2013 our trip to the show this year is

00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:11.440
powered by Corsair maker of quality PC components and peripherals our trusted

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:15.160
storage partner is Seagate technology and our trusted networking partner is

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

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:27.080
1080p smartphone with a 5in display that

00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:30.199
has a number of pretty cool features Jeremy tell us what makes this thing so

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

00:00:31.599 --> 00:00:37.399
the screen something like the Omni balance design so very Square very kind

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

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:45.960
and back on the design so very very overall cool design we've got a mil

00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:49.120
aluminum power button on average most people are hitting their power button on

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

00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:56.079
why not make it something cool and standoffish and also uh something that

00:00:54.559 --> 00:01:00.480
like just overall is really cool and easy to use and it gives you that whole

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

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:08.119
actually held this yet oh wow so this is probably this is actually as lighter or

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

00:01:09.880 --> 00:01:15.320
probably around the same weight yeah it's it's got to be pretty close feels

00:01:13.720 --> 00:01:19.840
feels actually lighter to me in spite of as you guys can see the significant size

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:23.799
difference so obviously something like a double glass uh approach on the front

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

00:01:25.479 --> 00:01:30.680
weight and you could see that Apple went went away from that with the iPhone 5

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

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

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:45.200
beautiful 5 in 1080P full or high resolution or high definition excuse me

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

00:01:46.759 --> 00:01:51.439
2 engine so the Bravia 2 engine is what's going to give you that higher

00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.159
contrast better picture better saturation better blacks overall once I

00:01:53.479 --> 00:01:58.840
unlock the device you get right into the Sony user experience or the Sony UI you

00:01:57.119 --> 00:02:01.960
can see it's very nicely laid out moves very slow very

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

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

00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:13.239
past you'd have to drag and drop your apps from your from your widget taskbar

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

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

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

00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.959
the durability so durability in terms of

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

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

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

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

00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:50.959
an aluminum frame all around it so durability wise it should be as good as

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:53.519
almost anything else with the tech yeah absolutely I mean it's with any

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

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

00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:05.519
front and the back thing because what I love about glass is that you got to

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

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

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:17.720
back micro SD expansion is included and next to the power there's just a volume

00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.360
rocker but other than that the the design is very

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.519
minimalistic head jack at so yeah your headphone jack everything's hidden

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

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.319
that we can throw it in the water sir

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

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

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

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

00:03:44.519 --> 00:03:52.159
phone thank you very much Jeremy no problem guys this was very helpful guys
