Sony’s ratcheted up its water-resistant device tech a notch with the launch of the Xperia ZR, a new 4.6-inch, 720P Android smartphone that’s waterproof to 1.5m (5 feet). Sony claims the new addition to the Xperia Z line will let film your snorkeling adventures in full HD quality with HDR in video or 13-megapixel stills thanks to the Exmor RS image sensor. The handset also boasts a Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core 1.5GHZ CPU, 2GB RAM, LTE, NFC, Sony’s Walkman album and movie apps and an OptiContrast OLED screen with Bravia tech to reduce glare “even in bright sunlight.” There’s no word yet on pricing or availability, but as soon as we here more, we’ll try to prep you ahead of that next beach-bound holiday.

Xperia Z goes on sale at the US Sony Store for $630, Xperia ZL gets a price cut

Xperia Z goes on sale at US Sony Store for $  630, Xperia ZL takes a price cut

Americans wanting one of 2013′s Sony flagships have had access to the Xperia ZL for awhile, but they’ve had to chase down an importer if they wanted the glass-backed chic of the Xperia Z. Sony has quietly put that dilemma to rest by offering the Xperia Z through the US Sony Store. For $ 630, locals can get an unlocked version of the flagship in black, purple or white, albeit only with HSPA+ 3G for carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile; there’s no LTE to be found. Those who do want 4G speeds won’t have to pay a premium, however, when Sony is selling the LTE-equipped ZL for the same $ 630. While neither deal will be quite as tempting as subsidized phones at major carriers, those willing to pay full price for Sony gear can now afford to be a little picky.

Sony Xperia L swings by the FCC with North America-friendly 3G

Sony Xperia L swings by the FCC with North Americafriendly 3G

While Sony intrigued us with the Xperia L’s blend of a low-end smartphone with a higher-end camera, it wasn’t very specific on just where we could eventually buy one: “worldwide” doesn’t help, folks. Courtesy of an FCC filing, there’s now a hint that the phone might show up in North America. The L has surfaced at the US agency carrying HSPA-based 3G compatible with the likes of AT&T, Straight Talk and T-Mobile, as well as Canadian carriers of all sizes. Even with a manual included in the filing, though, there’s no telltale clues as to which providers in either country might be interested. Without any built-in LTE, the Xperia L we see here is more likely to reach either smaller networks or go the carrier-independent route — if it comes to North America at all, that is.

Sony Xperia ZL gets its first US carrier, arrives at Cincinnati Bell on May 1st

Sony Xperia ZL gets its first US carrier, arrives at Cincinnati Bell on May 1st

In the fight of 5-inch, 1080p smartphones, it appears that the Sony Xperia ZL may’ve gotten lost in the shuffle among US carriers. Regardless of its availability as an opened device (and with Canadian carriers), any possible stateside buyers aiming to snag the Xperia ZL with a carrier subsidy are presently out of luck. Fortunately for some, all that is set to alter on Could 1st, as Cincinnati Bell has actually announced that it’ll sell the Xperia ZL for $ 250 after rebate on a two-year contract. Normally, Cincinnati Bell isn’t the largest of carriers, and its fairly steep pricing leaves a bit to be wanted, but it’s certainly good to see Sony acquire some traction in the states. Maybe it’s a sign of things to come?

Sony unveils mid-range Xperia SP and L, due in Europe and Asia this spring

Xperiasp_1020_large

Sony has actually revealed a pair of new mid-range Android smartphones, the Xperia SP and L. The SP is the more fascinating of the pair: it matches in 2012′s flagship mobile phones virtually spec-for-spec, with a 4.6-inch 720p screen, 1.7 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor, and an 8-megapixel camera. Sadly, it additionally matches in 2012′s flagships with its OS– it runs the year-old Android 4.1, instead of the current version, 4.2.

Sony Xperia SP announced, we go hands-on (video)

Sony Xperia SP announced, we go handson video

While the Sony’s Xperia Z tablet and smartphone occupy its high-end Android choice, it’s now the turn of the middleweights. State hello to the Xperia SP, a 4.6-inch phone that ties together the a few of the attributes (and design cues) from both the S and P designs of 2012– yep, it’s all in the name. Together with a 720p display with Sony’s Bravia Mobile Engine 2, there’s an 8-megapixel Exmor RS sensor on the back, NFC, LTE and a dual-core 1.7 GHz Snapdragon MSM8960 Pro processor. That’s all built into a classy aluminum frame that’s simply timid of 10mm thick and analyzes 5.5 ounces. The phone marks the return of Sony’s see-through strip, however with a slightly more sophisticated (and customizable) notice light constructed into it. We handled to spend a little time with the gadget last month, so please hop past the break for some even more impressions and our hands-on video.

Sony Xperia Z for AT&T garners FCC approval

Sony Xperia Z for AT&T garners FCC approval

Hirai and Co.’s Xperia Z may seemingly be available everywhere except the US, but a surprise FCC visit by the handset means that could change very soon. Uncle Sam got its mitts on hardware that supports LTE bands 2, 4, 5 and 17, along with HSPA over 1900, 1700 and 850MHz frequencies — a perfect match for AT&T’s network. There’s still no word from Big Blue or Sony regarding when the phone might arrive stateside, but there’s little holding it back thanks to government approval.
