Xperia Z and Xperia ZL announced for South East Asia [Update]

Sony Mobile held an Xperia Z and Xperia ZL launch event for South East Asia yesterday. We got confirmation of which handsets will launch in which country. The good news for those in Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam is that both the Xperia Z and Xperia ZL will be launching during Q1. Those in Malaysia will only be getting the Xperia Z.

Whilst the Xperia ZL feels better in the hand ergonomically, the Xperia Z feels like the more premium handset with its glass back. You can check out some of our hands-on photos below of each handset.

Update: We have been told that the Xperia ZL will indeed be heading to Malaysia after all.
