4P's Xperia
1. Xperia™ ZR
Durability
Waterproof*
Dust-resistant
Durable glass
Functions
We tested Xperia ZR to make sure it can keep
going even after 30 minutes underwater,
making it super-durable no matter what kind
of adventures you’re subjecting it to. The high
IP55 and IP58 rating means you can use it in
the rain or take photos by the pool.
Since we can’t take every Android smartphone
outdoors, we bring the dust tests to our labs.
Before we gave Xperia ZR the dust-resistant
rating of IP5X, we hung it in a dust-test
chamber and made sure its operation was
unaffected.
The durable tempered glass screen is a lot
stronger than conventional glass. And with an
anti-shatter film on the front, Xperia ZR is
anything but fragile.
2. Display
A screen as impressive as HDTV – HD Reality Display
Feel like you’re there with the razor sharp and super bright HD screen. Xperia ZR
Android smartphone brings you a high level HD – 720 p, for incredibly crisp
pictures and no jagged edges. Expertise from our BRAVIA® TV engineers goes into
our mobile screens, to bring you the same quality you’d expect from a top quality
HDTV. The 4.6” HD Reality Display also has high pixel density – 319 pixels per inch,
for razor sharp pictures – and superior brightness. And with the wide colour
gamut it gives you the widest colour spectrum, so you can view every detail in
vivid colour.
Camera
Optimised imagery with HDR for photos and video
HDR for photos and videos captures natural colours in any light. HDR (High
Dynamic Range) is an imaging technology used to capture clear photos against
strong backlight. With HDR, the camera captures the same image at different
exposure levels and layers them to create one optimised photo. Sony Xperia ZR
introduces HDR to video, so that you can film even in high contrast situations, like
in front of a window or with the sun behind your subject.
Stunning shots in any light — 13 MP camera with Exmor RS™ for mobile
The 13 megapixel camera is built with the same modules as leading Sony cameras.
Exmor RS™ for mobile is an evolution of our Sony image sensor technology, with a
next-generation BSI light sensor. By adopting the technology of luminance and
colour noise reduction, we’ve created a camera that snaps highly detailed shots
with low noise – even in challenging lighting conditions. You’re now also able to
reproduce objects in more vivid colours and capture night images and faces in
stunning clarity.

Processor & Battery
Lightning speed performance – Quad-core processor
We’ve matched the latest Sony software with the powerful Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S4 Pro
processor. This advanced quad core processor gives you maximum performance and speed
without draining your battery – run multiple apps simultaneously, surf the web with no loading
time, and stream videos without a break. The Snapdragon S4 Pro processor is asynchronous,
which means each core is powered up and down independently. So you get the precise amount
of power when you need it, without wasting power when you don’t.
