Ratings & Reviews Sony ( 8GB , 2 GB ) Black

The first thing to note is the Bravia Engine equipped screen, the best one that I have seen so far. The videos provided with the device are just there to show its clarity and details. For me they appeared like 3D but it wasn't as good as what we watch in theaters with specially designed 3D glasses. Its fast, smooth, the touch feels great. The 4.66 inch form factor is one of the main reasons I bought it. And it feels handy. The finish looks great. No too much bezels, it is in right proportion. The pre-loaded apps aren't that great. I chose this phone over Nexus 4, just because of the 13MP Camera which is not at all good from my point of view. My dad's 5 year old Nokia N86 8MP Carls zeiss camera can take much sharper images than this latest phone. I just hope that it will improve once it is upgraded to Jelly bean. But that have to be tested.

Internal memory as said in specs is 8 GB but ,xperia zr is actually showing toatal internal memory around 5GB ony ( including used memory by apps) Other then this its worthy.

Hi I recently brought Sony mobile its awesomeq nice mobile good camera light weight and everything is fine thank you so much

Sony Xperia zr is perfect choice for those who love to shoot photos.And the water proof technology used in this phone is great,I used several times while raining.no problem with it I have't tried underwater shooting iam hoping its also will be good.Music is good enough for bass lovers. but earphones with this mobile not good.it produces not bass at all only treble.My Sony mdr xb30ex ear phones fulfills its place with great bass.

Best you can buy in the price , makes using smart phone a better experience only drawback seems to be slightly less speaker sound may be because of waterproofing.

Good performance, awedome design, light weight

I bought this phone few weeks back and have been using it. I see there are lots of reviews that boasts about its Pros. I do agree with all of them. At the same time, one has to know the issues with very basic mobile functionality. Call Quality and Volume: I bought this phone few weeks back and have been using it.  I see there are lots of reviews that boasts about its Pros. I do agree with all of them. At the same time, one has to know the issues with very basic mobile functionality.  Call Quality and Volume: As few users have pointed, the Call quality is very average and the call volume is very low. Note that even after changing the Equalizer Settings that Sony provided, it doesn't help much. It is for sure that when you are out at a crowded place, You'll hardly hear a thing about what the other person on the call talk. Feeling so annoyed and perplexed at the muffled and very mediocre Ear Piece quality during calls. Every time I need to hook up the hands free to hear the person loud. I also hear the people on the other end mention they hardly hear anything from my end. The microphone quality is very average and it is such a disappointment.  Battery: Theoretically, a battery having 2300 mAh should work out for a day with 2G turned on. I could see that it drains out very swiftly with Auto Brightness and minimal Music Listening. I could use it only for 15 to 20 hours after a complete charge. Yes, it is true that it has got the faster processor with Quad Core which would consume more battery. However, It was my mistake to anticipate more juice out of a 2300 mAh battery. Also, there are few Sony Services, that keep running on the background eats up a lot of battery.  I think we can live with the issue with Battery in Xperia ZR but the Call Quality. A phone worth about 30K having such basic issues is not tolerable. I would be immensely happy if Sony rolls out a fix for this Ear Piece issue and the issue with Call Quality SOOOONNNER Battery: Theoretically, a battery having 2300 mAh should work out for a day with 2G turned on.

But what I found is that the Charging Cover keeps opening up without a reason. This is a great annoying thing and not sure what is the fault and what to be done.

Its a Stupid phone, badly designed. Bought it on 30th sep 2013 just a couple of days old, tried Underwater photography, came out and checked the phone for music, Loudspeakers went for a toss.. There is a small slot at the back of the phone for loudspeaker which dripped in water.. Opened the back cover to find water all over the speakers, (completely embarrassed within the crowd after showing off the underwater photography) kept the phone aside for a day to let water evaporate, speakers came back to normal but for that one day speakers were useless, audibility goes down by 90%.. Cant hear anything out of the phone and even if you do its completely distorted. And do not expect anything out of the service centre people (apparently Authorised) they don't care about your problem, after an hour of convincing them that this is a Genuine issue they actually logged a complaint about this problem, but that was just internal, the call centre guys didn't know about this issue because the service centre people didn't log a complaint with the sony complaint team. Tried writing to Sony directly as well but then LOL is what I got.. Point here is, the phone now is working fine but what if the same issue repeats and the speakers don't come back to life, no one is going to replace it leave alone the service centre guys. The only time my phone will ever touch water is in rains.. Forget Underwater... I do not recommend this phone, rather any phone from SONY. Bad Experience, Bad Phone, Bad Service.

For anyone who is having doubt whether to buy this one or not... I would just say go for it... No regrets at all..truly the best of Sony(all z series) ... Jus love it:-)

Overall Product is good but camera when you go into zoom mode, it works like a normal VGA camera with lot of noises. After few snaps, the mobile is heated and showing message that temperature is not conducive to take photos. I believe camera is a let down in Xperia ZR. Mobile is overpriced comparing the disadvantages. Should be ideally around 20K.
