The Sony Xperia Z is a rectangular slab that marks a departure from Sony’s 2012 design. The design is “Omni-Balance”, according to Sony, which is focused on creating balance and symmetry in all directions. Xperia Z has subtly rounded edges and smooth, reflective surfaces on all sides, which are held together by a skeleton frame made from glass fiber polyamide. The phone features tempered glass covered by shatterproof film on front and back. The aluminum power button is placed on the right side of the device. The location is said to make one-hand operation easier. The metallic look and positioning of the power button is inspired by luxury watch crown design. The phone is available in three colors; black, white and purple.
