Everything good except for the camera

Phone owned for less than a year

Look is good... Water Resistance is an awesome feature and I am addicted to it... Sound quality of Sony is unmatchable... However, Camera is way too bad...
In day light, it's just above average, but in low light, it is disastrous.... My old phone with 2 MP takes better photos in low light... I have read a lot of reviews before buying... I wonder why people have rated the camera 8-9... The front cam is 0.3 MP and it's literally of no use....

Sony = great hardware, not so great software

Phone owned for less than a year

There is hope if Sony does a better job in the software department. When I upgraded to Android 4.4 Kitkat, the battery would last me about half a day. I had to sell it - I don t know if they fixed it.

I had the 8GB white model.
I don t know if this happens a lot or if it was the card s fault, but I had really big problems with my SD card. It would crash a lot and I lost a lot of documents.
The upside - I learned to use the cloud :)
Still... 8 GB is way to little

WATERPROOF MY ASS

Phone owned for more than a year

It been using a years since i bought this phone, the feature is not bad but a lots of problems. First the most disappointed parts is the waterproof feature that advertise heavy online, it said waterproof!!! but i just put it in the water a few times and yeah you will see yr phone filled with water and it happened twice and make me need to dry this phone to reuse it. Side note: this phone cant stand even for swallow water, so dont try it in the pool and please change this phone feature called water proof to water resistant!! And most of the feature is lacking as well that I lazy to explain all of it, so for conclusion don't buy this thing, not recommended!!

I LOVE MY XPERIA ZR

Phone owned for more than a year

Its the best phone to have in its price range.It has great specs and it can compete with most of the flagship pones of sony as well as other companies.As far to my knowledge, it is the only WATER,DUST,SCRATCH,SHATTER P-R-O-O-F phone available within 25K.Moreover it is the best phone for an above average rough user of his phones.Sony has dumped in great on the Xperia ZR....Absolutely in love with it....even after a year...lol.

Xperia zr is excellent phone

Phone owned for less than a year

Es un tremendo telefono, llevo mas de 6 mese con el y hasta ahora nada de problemas. La pantalla mejora bastante las fotos por su calidad y soporta bastante agua. Es muy fluido con respecto a la navegacion en internet y en las graficas al maximo. Lo recomiendo.

Great phone for its price ~

Phone owned for less than a year

This is 1st phone review ~
The phone itself is having other Z series spec ,
While the camera average like the other Z series ~

But the phone itself does not have any problem , waterproof tested ..
Even the flap for charging and 3.5mm audio jack also have good quality ,
I have a great time using the phone, with kitkat update , so far no problem , it even solve the problem from the latest Jelly Bean update
I didnt have any storage problem regarding the internal storage as I didnt play much games on my phone so that is minor problem for me ~
With memory storage support up to 64GB is more than enough for my audio files ~

Value for Maney in compare to the blackberry Z10

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I have used almost all brand's mobile, Xperia ZR is comparable with HTC mobiles only in this prise Z10 is not at all comparable Xperia, It is best mobile after HTC one or other higher model. Internet speed is also good, I didn't seen any markable cons.

Hands on experience

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I am really upset with the battery of Xperia ZR. I have bought it about a month back and now it doesn't give me a talk time more than 6 hrs against Sony's specification of 11 hrs. why make false specs when product cannot delivery. I am really upset and lost trust with the Brand SONY.

Best at this price

Phone owned for less than 3 months

One of the best of sony. its compact. water and dust resistant. have dropped it twice with just minor scratches. csreen quality is nice with very little viewing angle problem. biggest con is the memory of 4.59 gb. i have experienced no lags, and the phone has never hanged. being aheavy user the phone works for a day. an awesome midranged phone with frequent software updates.

amazing phone

Phone owned for less than 3 months

for most of this review i will be comparing this phone to my previous phone, the HTC One X, which i came to loath by the end my ownership of it. Now in the spirit of fairness it is important to point out two unfair advantages in this comparison. First of all being the Obvious fact that the ZR is one year newer than the One X, however i feel that it is fair to compare this years midrange to last years flagship. The second unfair advantage is my own personal bias against the OneX, after all the frustration i had over it after one year, i have little good to say about it. It is possible that after one year i might hate my ZR just as much, however in this review I will try to explain why I don't think that will happen.

Overall i feel like this phone is light years ahead of my OneX, but in a user experience way rather than a spec upgrade way.

The main reason I am writing this review is because i feel that the phone arena review was unnecessarily harsh to this amazing device.

Beast From The East

Phone owned for less than a month

So Far So Good. Its a complete Macho phone. I mean talk bout build quality, Feels awesome in your hands. What else can u ask for when its dust/shutter/water/scratch proof(though i will never try taking it under water. Walkman music needs no boasting, use a good quality sennheiser earphones and enjoy the BEATS AUDIO effect:). No second thoughts required to buy this mean hand machine. REMEMBER:- SMARTPHONES ARE LIKE ALL IN 1 PACKAGE....DON'T EXPECT THEM TO BEHAVE LIVE SLR CAMERA OR FREAKIN GOOD MUSIC PLAYER. Beauty lies in the Use and the Eyes.....
A HD Reality Display with monstrous 323ppi supported by Sony Bravia Engine2 GIVING 1280X780 of resolution. Display is just clear, bright with high contrast.

Qualcomm Spandragon S4 processor with 2 GB RAM and 8GB internal means extremely fast machine.
GPU 320 supports play station as well as 3d games. What else do i want.."NOTHING"
2300mAH of juice supports it the whole day.
Call quality is though average especially on loud speakers.
Will add another review after one month. But as i said earlier....SO FAR SO GOOD

Shines as a midranger

Phone owned for less than 3 months

The ZR provides so much for a midranger, It has the highest rating for the capability to resist water, which is good when you can not only wash it whenever you want, but also bring it to the pool and have fun with some snapshots. The very first time I hold it, I could feel the quality, not as good as the Xperia Z though.

Sony Xperia ZR

Phone owned for less than a month

This is the best phone I ever had.am using ZR for month and it's awesome in all angles ....You don't lagging at any phase cause of its quad core and 2gb Ram and the camera is awesome and battery is too great in stamina mode .....Better than s4 and HTC one reasonable size but a 65mm width would be great and perfect for my hands.The removable battery also means that this is a phone that I can keep for a while. The battery is already listed as an accessory on the Sony website so it should be possible to have two batteries that I can swap out when I absolutely need more juice.
