      An amazingly compact 5” design

      What if you could make the display bigger without increasing the phone size? Sony Xperia ZL manages the design impossible: a display size that’s second to none, in a smartphone that fits in your pocket. Optimising components architecture, Sony engineers increased display size while keeping the phone as small as possible.
