Some things are quite fascinating when we get to see how a smartphone progressed through the design stage to how they actually look now. So when the XperiaBlog was showing these pictures of the Xperia Z, embedded below, we were quite interested.
As you can see, the first picture, which is still on Sony Mobile Hong Kong's Facebook page, quite clearly has those simple drilled metal holes which sounds comes out of, whereas the actual device, in the 2nd picture, has those slits which look to be covered in some sort of material.
The guys suggested that the subtle design change was probably down to the waterproofing which Sony wanted to offer and that seems to make sense to us! We're interested to know which speaker option you prefer though. Do you prefer the drilled metals holes or the slits? Let us know in the comments below!
