The Xperia Z is on the left, and the Xperia ZL is on the right. The picture is from Pocket-lint.

Here's another story from last night at CES that we are excited to share with you guys this morning. Sony just launched their newest Android flagship devices, the Xperia Z and the Xperia ZL. Both are 5-inch phablet-style devices. We have a spec round-up for each device and we also found a couple of hands-on videos to share with you guys. Both devices have essentially the same innards, but the Z is designed to be water and dust resistant, while the ZL loses this feature, but has a slightly smaller footprint.

Quad-core which are more battery efficient = still a better battery life than my nexus.

I really hope it comes to verizon

The DNA does have pretty good battery life from what I hear. That one has a quad core processor as well right? Still I don't understand what the whole deal is with glass backs. I hear the Nexus 4 is cracking due to temperature changes from being in your warm pocket, and then being placed on cool surfaces....

It's a possibility if it shows up on VZ. Could be a keeper, maybe one-up the DNA.
