"If these things are more important to you than ZR's water resistance, better battery back up, removable battery and better compact form(easier to use because of its smaller size), then go for ZL"

"1) Battery Life - its far better than Xperia Z, Galaxy S3 and Nexus 4."

"3] sufficient battery life( it lasted for around 32 hours for given conditions, low brightness, simple wallpaper, stupid apps blocked access to internet, whats app on whole day, one hour of music daily using earphones, video not played, internet browsing using chrome for around 45 minutes, no photos shot with flash, half an hour on calls) "

"2)battery is much improved from previous sony products and stamina mode is a great bonus"

"-Battery life is excellent - no doubt helped by the same battery powering a smaller screen"

" Good battery life, Good primary camera, browsing experience is awesome, most of the basic applications are pre-installed"

" Battery comfortably lasts for a day with normal use of twitter, facebook and whatsapp"

" Decent battery life, about 36-48 hours, with moderate browsing, call and some pictures"

" With 2 GB RAM it performed best with no lags while playing Asphalt8, Shadow fight2, and many more"

"3)processor is fast, really fast"

"quadcore and 2gb ram is just great to have all your apps and games work without those irritating lags"

" Hanging- No it does not hangs, 2 GB of RAM is enough to power a PC, this is a phone"

" Waterproof and 2GB of RAM are the best part of Xperia ZR"

"-UI is fluid - Processor+RAM+GPU is tops, cant fight the 2.2Ghz quad monsters but excellent at this price"

" Very fast processor and high memory, all apps are snap, "

" On board memory available for apps is only about 4GB and it gets filled up very fast, there is no way to have the apps installed on SD, only solution is rooting and using link2SD kind of app, I haven't been able to install real-racing yet because of the memory issue"

"Overall, its an average phone, I should have gone for ZL, atleast the advantage would have been a bigger display, bigger memory and I guess better ear piece sound"

"The display is great; videos and games look and feel really fabulous"

"I'd recommend buying the screen card and a cover online on combo - even the Sony Stores seem to have only a clear-screen guard that is way off price"

"ZL has a better screen(full HD) and 16 GB internal storage which is quite important"

"4) Display - its better than Super Amoled display of S3 as its very natural and rich in colour depth"

"4)screen 323ppi looks great and sonys timescape is fab"

"The touch response from the screen is excellent"

"Excellent voice quality, speakers are very good and the bravia engine display is just fantastic"

" Great Display"

"The display is very good and have great color saturation"

"If you want better android experience with better camera & decent screen size then go for it & you won't regret it"

"but it is having nice camera, nice sound quality, good and sharp screen, good ram"

" Sony Bravia Engine 2 and Adreno 320 GPU gives good HD display and sharpness with great PPI of nearly 323"

" Not oversaturated like super amoled displays"

"Lastly, if you want better android experience with better performance and decent screen size then go for it & you won't regret it"

" * Display,touch&clarity is superb (thanks to sony Bravia engine)"

"display excellent (9 out of 10)"

"Display and touch-excellent"

" It was working fine I liked it lot nice display and sound quality"

"waterproof, compact, nice screen and battery life"

" DISPLAY is another strong point of this product"

" Bravia Engine With 1280 x 720 resolution and a 4.6 inch screen is really impressive"

" 5 inch or bigger screen sizes like Xperia Z seems to be a little awkward [just a personal opinion :) ]"

" Although brilliant display, its still TFT"

"Next most important is a display quality, and it's really, really, the Best"

" Screen resolution is 720p but is good enough given its medium screen size"

"screen sharpness really impressive & one can get some speaker problems if trying take a shot under water"
