What's the handset with the best phone-to-screen size ratio ever? Why, the Xperia ZL, says Sony

i agree.. that's why i kinda prefer the design of ZL than the Z.. the ZL really2 compact for a 5 inch phone!!

Only 15% bezel? Still can't change my mind to pick z over zl :p

Don't believe the hype, it's the Huawei Ascend Mate.

Another great design from sony. They said themselves they max out the screen on the zl.

So much for the Razr M, i really want a edge to edge screen with putting all the bezel at the bottom. Go Sony! Lead the way!

Too bad it's too thick and the battery size is smaller than the thickness would indicate. If they kept the Xperia ZL at 7.9 mm while doing this, then it would have basically been the size of the Z10 or 8x which would have been beyond awesome.

HTC you better announce your next flagship or I'm gonna get ZL

The next step is to make a ZL, Water resistant and Dust proof, with a Super IPS LCD2 screen.

Im torn. On the one hand you have a phone that hits all the right specs in one and has the added bonus of being wafer thin and WATER PROOF. On the other hand you have the same phone with a camera button and a ridiculous small size given the screen. I dont know which one to go for. Hopefully they are both pentaband otherwise i go for the one that will work with Tmobile unlocked. Way to go Sony way to win me back as a customer!!!

actually the razr m has the best screen ratio.. or better yet lets wait for the motorola x 5 inch edge to edge game changing display

i know its last years tech but LG optimus 4x HD does da job for me ...
best screen in a compact package ..one handed operation is rarely an issue

Well thats something I hated a lot on the old iPhone models... my math came up to having just 54% screen size to phone size ratio...

While my Xperia Acro S is a nice 61.3%, and my old Galaxy S3 was 65.8%...

In comparison, the iPhone 5 improved a lot to a 60.8%. (What helps here is the really thin bezels at the side... but they suck at the top and bottom)
