I promise to be more focus to presents informations about the development of smartphones starting today onwards. sorry for the inconvenience. Actually, it was too late for me to say this, but I just wanted to say "Happy New Year 2013" to all the blog readers who come from all over the world, I hope in this new year we can be more successful than the previous year. Well, this time I will discuss the device that certainly isn't foreign to you after hearing a lot of rumors have been coming to this device before the official word comes. Finally, the device that we discussed has recently been officially announced, the Sony seems to make a first step by introducing one of their flagship device called the new Xperia Z (formerly called Xperia Yuga) to the public audiences, of course, it also followed by the introduction of another latest flagship devices from Sony such as Xperia ZL (previously known as Odin), which has been officially unveiled too by Sony through their press conference at CES 2013 that recently held in Las Vegas. This Good news is likely to be greatly welcomed with enthusiasm by fans of Sony's device especially who puts much hopes for the next generation of Sony Smartphones, seen lately there has been a lot of rumors circulating about the device that came to this precious Xperia Z.

The device also comes with a powerful network-based 4G LTE that has been qualified plus the latest display technologies characteristically presented by Sony. From the appearance, we can see this device will bring the screen size of 5 inches which obviously have a resolution of Full HD 1080 * 1920pixels with pixel density of ~ 441 PPI.
