    I have to agree, very good phone when I seen it, has everything except latest android, not sure if got updated to kitkat. But IR blaster is not on any other phone in this price range. Snap dragon s4 is a Lil old but still very good. I'd buy it if I needed a phone.

    Looks like KitKat is already available: http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2014/05/21/new-sony-software-upgrade-including-android-4-4-kitkat-rolls-for-xperia-z-xperia-zl-xperia-zr-and-xperia-tablet-z/

    I'm on the fence myself, I have a nexus 5 at the moment so I don't think it would be enough of an upgrade. Still hoping there'll be a nexus 6 despite the android silver rumours.

    Having said that I paid €350 for my nexus so this is a better deal

    Edit: Review here: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_zl-review-923.php

    Looks like its a Snapdragon S4 Pro (Snapdragon 600 family), my Nexus 5 is an 800 which should be faster so I'll leave it. But it sounds like a good phone!

    I had one of these and I was very happy with it (sadly I fried it with a dodgy charger). It has an infra red blaster so you can use it as a TV remote. If any one is buying I can post you a nice red flip case I no longer need!

    I have, and am using, this phone (and paid nearly €600 for it last year). Fantastic phone, same in all respects as the Xperia Z, same 5" screen but a smaller phone because it is not waterproof and doesn't need the larger bezel like the Z. And as said, it has the IR blaster which the Z does not - which has worked on any tv or hifi I've ever tried it with.

    At this price I feel like purchasing it again :p
