Earlier this month, Sony had unveiled the Xperia ZR. Visually, the Xperia ZR has quite a bit in common with the current Xperia Z and ZL, with the circular lock button on the middle of the side of the device, the volume rocker below that and a dedicated camera button near the bottom.

It sports a 4.6-inch HD Reality display and is powered by Sony’s own Mobile Bravia engine 2, which the company claims uses the same contrast enhancement technology that is present in Sony’s range of Bravia TVs. The display panel is an OptiContrast panel, which is said to reduce reflections.
