The Japanese Sony is clear: this year it wants to be a reference and with its new high-end it intends to achieve it. So much so that the Sony Xperia Z, its latest mobile presented, will be released on the same day that the Mobile World Congress 2013 officially begins, that is, on February 25. This has been confirmed by the company itself, opening a pre-booking process so that the most impatient users can get hold of it from day one.

Unfortunately, the price that the Sony Xperia Z would reach in the market is not officially confirmed. There is already talk of the possibility that we can see it for 650 euros in free format, although it is more than possible that the operators launch themselves to offer offers that go through the subsidy or financing of the terminal for those customers who are not available to put that figure on the table in one go. There will be those who wonder if this device deserves its price. From here, we venture to answer affirmatively.
As we have already described on other occasions, the Sony Xperia Z is postulated as one of the firm candidates to rise as the smartphone of the year. In the absence of seeing what Apple, Samsung or HTC propose, this device has been able to balance power, functionality, quality and resistance. It has a five-inch FullHD screen, an interesting thirteen-megapixel camera and a solid 1.5 GHz quad-core processor. The standard RAM memory reaches two GB and its exterior finish combines the elegance of glass sheetswith which the casing has been finished, which is finished in such a way that it resists eventual and superficial immersions in water or the accumulation of dust with integrity, without its circuitry being affected.
The Sony Xperia Z, in addition, will not take long to update to the most recent and complete version of Google's operating system. As it has been known, in March the process of updating the platform would begin, so that it would go from working with the native Android 4.1.2 to presenting Android 4.2. This data is not trivial: South Korean Samsung had been placed at the forefront of updates, only surpassed by the Nexus family, when it comes to catching up on Android versions. In this way, Sony presents its candidacy to be the reference of the Google ecosystem after the native terminals of the firm. Despite everything, there have already been rumors thatSamsung Galaxy Note 2 and Samsung Galaxy S3 would have the possibility of getting Android 4.2 from next February, in which case they would remain in the usual position of exception. Given this, what would be undeniable if we finally attend the described scenario is the fact that Sony would prove to get the batteries with one of its pending issues: that of the Android update program.
