General characteristics
Type
Deciding on the type of device (phone or smartphone?) is quite simple. If you need a simple and inexpensive device for calls and SMS, it is recommended to choose a telephone. A smartphone is more expensive, but it offers a wide variety of options: games, videos, the Internet, thousands of programs for all occasions. However, its battery life is significantly less than that of a regular phone.

Mid-class according to Sony - the filling is the same as the Xperia Z/ZL, the same processor and camera, but a smaller display. Plus protection from water and dust, calm design. The positioning is strange, but we'll talk about it in the conclusions. For now, let's focus on the device.
Design, construction
Sony continues to expand the lineup, in theory, the ZR replaces the V, although the latter remains quite an interesting model for those. Another question is that in terms of design, the ZR is completely in the spirit of the 2013 collection, on the right side there is a familiar aluminum power button, on the sides there are linings - the father of this whole story, Mr. Xperia Z, can be proud of his youngest. The ZR is smaller in size, due to this it fits better in the hand, it is assembled well, there is nothing loose or creaking. A little wider than the iPhone 5, a little heavier, but not a shovel, this is especially noticeable after the Xperia Z and SGS4. The cover on the back is removable, you can see a sealed lining on it, the device is protected from moisture penetration. In addition to the covers, there are also plugs for the connectors; neat people can use the docking station and the contacts on the left side. On the back there is a camera lens, a flash, an NFC area, a speaker hole, and at the bottom there is an eternal groove for attaching a strap. The 3.5 mm jack is under a plug, located on the top end. Indicator light in a corporate style familiar from the time of the first Xperia, X1. This strip can light up in different colors depending on the situation. Above the display there is a speaker and a lens front camera, light and proximity sensors, Sony inscription - the screen is covered with a film, I do not recommend peeling it off, because then the Sony inscription will disappear.
Overall, the device looks good. There are four color options, white, black, pink and green (gouge your eyes out). I would like to note that white looks the most interesting in real life, black is boring.
You can buy a second battery and use it when the main one runs out; the removable cover allows you to do this. By the way, under the cover there are slots for a SIM card (microSIM) and a microSD memory card. Please note that there are some voids along the edges of the case; apparently, this design is needed to protect the device from moisture.
Dimensions are 67.4 x 131 x 10.4 mm, weight 138 grams. It felt somewhat reminiscent of the iPhone 4S in my hand, except that it was a little larger in size. The battery cover of the black version is matte, there are traces of fingerprints and it is quite difficult to remove.
I’ll also say about protection, the official website says the following: “In accordance with the requirements of the IP55 and IP58 standards, the Xperia ZR is protected from moisture and dust. When all ports and covers are securely sealed, this smartphone is protected against low pressure water jets from all directions to IP55 and/or can survive up to 30 minutes in 1.5 meters of fresh water to IP58.” For some, this will be an additional “pro” when choosing. You can read about the standards, ZR testing, it’s interesting. There is even a test report, which is also very interesting.
Display
The display diagonal is 4.55 inches, resolution 720 x 1280 pixels. The display is normal, but nothing more, the image is faded, the viewing angles are not like those of the iPhone 5. You can adjust the white balance, but this does not really help. Honestly, this year Sony has a problem with screens, at least I personally have only seen one normal one, Sony Xperia Z Ultra. But it will only go on sale in September (probably).
The ZR screen behaves normally in the sun, which is a plus. But the brightness, in my opinion, is not enough.
Control
On the right side there is a power button, a volume rocker, a distinctive feature of the ZR is a separate camera launch button, it can be configured to launch and shoot, only launch the camera. For some this will be a big plus. WITH touch screen There are no problems, the power button fits right under the thumb, for right-handed people this is happiness, for left-handed people it’s grief.
Performance
Memory
The specifications say that the memory is about 8 GB, but in fact 4.95 GB is available to the user, this is in the device out of the box. There is a slot for microSD cards, on the official website it says that cards up to 32 GB are supported, don’t believe it, you can install cards with a capacity of 64 GB.
Working hours
What can I say, another smartphone with Android on board. Like other Xperias this year, there is an interesting Stamina mode; when you turn off the device (that is, the display), Wi-Fi is turned off, applications are not allowed to access the network, this can seriously increase the operating time. I noticed that some programs conflict with this mode, for example Facebook.
A 2300 mAh battery is installed, the stated operating time is about 11 hours in talk mode, and the smartphone lasts 45 hours in music playback mode. In real life, with active use, the battery charge may run out towards evening. If you just call, write SMS, and occasionally check social networks, then the ZR can live much longer. For example, I went out of town on the weekend and used the device only as a dialer, while still in the car I connected it to the music system. The device easily lasted from morning until late evening, there was still about 36% left, the Stamina mode, of course, was turned on. Overall, not bad.
Camera
The camera resolution is 13 megapixels, LED flash, naturally, there is autofocus, video shooting in FullHD. The maximum image resolution is 3920 x 2940 pixels. The module is the same as the ZL and Z, which is not bad. The camera menu is the same, thanks to a separate button you can quickly start shooting. Examples of photos will say much more than any descriptions, in my opinion, ZR shoots. High-resolution video recording is supported, not FullHD; videos on the device are pleasant to watch. And it’s not bad on a laptop screen either.
conclusions
There are no problems with the quality of speech transmission, although the speaker seemed quite quiet to me. The main speaker is loud, the ZR has a well-made vibration, unlike the ZR, where it is shrill, the table shakes, when you press the screen your finger bounces off, here the vibration is soft. I don’t even want to turn off the “recoil” when you press the screen. On the network, the device costs about 18,000 rubles, in Svyaznoy about 24,000 rubles. The difference is great. Where to buy is your business and has nothing to do with me. Sony has some kind of problem with positioning. The main advantages of ZR are clear, waterproof, good camera and a shooting button, relatively compact, simple design, beautiful button. The downside is also understandable: the display is not amazing, but the operating time here is typical for Android. The most interesting thing is different, I look at Yandex.Market and see Sony Xperia Z in “White Wind” for 25,990 rubles. What's the point of ZR then? It’s better to pay the extra two thousand and get a natural flagship; the Z has a larger display, a more interesting body, and many bugs have been cleaned up with the new firmware. In general, Z is now one of the most interesting offers among “large” smartphones with Android, it’s all about the price.
Don't discount the Sony Xperia V either; it doesn't have a button on the side, but you can buy it for 16,000 rubles, or even cheaper. It is also protected from water, even more compact, the display is slightly smaller, but the resolution is the same.
Don't need water protection? I understand you perfectly, because I myself am not in the habit of swimming with phones, swimming with smartphones, or washing tablets with dishes. So, no need for protection - take the Sony Xperia ZL! It costs about 21,000 rubles, also has a shooting button, and overall the ZL is a reasonable compromise between the Z and the rest of the Xperia line.
I don’t know why to buy ZR, it makes no sense. Or rather, marketers can see the meaning, but it seems like normal people have gathered here.
P.S. Although you shouldn’t think that the device is bad. Unlike products from Samsung, Huawei and other similar companies (except perhaps HTC), the Sony Xperia ZR really looks good. In the photo and in the first hours of use it seems boring, but it fits very well in the hand after the Xperia Z. It also has a good camera. I think that with a reduction in price, this device can become one of the most popular among Xperia smartphones current line.
