An Amazingly Compact Five-Inch Design
What if you could make the display bigger without increasing the size of your phone? Xperia ZL manages the design impossible: a 5” display in a smartphone that fits comfortably in your hand. Optimizing component architecture, Sony engineers increased display size while keeping the phone small. The result is the smartphone with a very high screen to phone size ratio.

1. Love it
1 hour review.
Pros:
Fast - Quad-core CPU
Design - Love the slick, compact design with camera features. Reminds me of my old K750i. Roughly the same size as the Galaxy S2
Screen - Bright, clear and the viewing angles isn't an issue for me
OS - Sony's typical foot print. I prefer this over Tmobile or any carriers in general because they don't install a ton of bloatware
Camera - Very nice, the smile shutter? feature is awesome. Taking pictures in 9m mode will be 16x9 format
Cons:
Speaker isn't as loud or clear as previous Sony phones
Phone runs HOT. Was looking around in the settings etc and the phone already got warm.
Overall, I'm loving this phone. I'll probably update this review once I get more hands on experience with it.
2. Phone Bliss
Over the last few years I've used several devices ranging from the OG Droid, Droid 2, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I was on the market to purchase a new phone because I was looking for cheaper service and all of my phones were on Verizon's network. I've always been a Sony fanboy, and I already own their Tablet S, PSP, PS3, and Vaio. The Xperia ZL Allowed for seamless integration between them all, and shares data and media between them easily. The phone is comfortable to hold and doesn't feel too light or heavy. I opted for the ZL over the Z because i wanted the physical camera button, and I wasn't a huge fan of all the flaps that Sony had used on the Z to make it waterproof. The Camera quality is amazing and all of the filters and add-ons have been fun to use. Sony adds a slight skin on top of Jelly Bean 4.2, but only so that icons and transitions have been a little stylized, making it an easy transition from my Nexus device. I ditched my data plan with Verizon, and am using a call &...

Works with T-mobile HSPA+ but no LTE
Base on some commends on the web, sounded like this one would work with T-Mobile's LTE. Well I give it a shot. So far, I have tried to enable different radio software and all I got is HSPA+. But the HSPA+ is faster than my Galaxy Nexus. Good news is, this phone works with my $5.00 Tzone plan. Will T-mobile stop it in a few days.... time will tell.
The speaker is loud, but not clear like the HTC one. I like the screen size and it's very stylish. For $50 more, I would get the C6506 with LTE instead.
