The Sony Xperia Z got the jump on other 1080p flagships and it’s paying off handsomely. The water-resistant phone was announced and went on sale before its chief competition and analysts are estimating Sony has sold 4.6 million units sold in 40 days.

The HTC One experienced delays and its launched got pushed back, while the LG Optimus G Pro launched this month and the Samsung Galaxy S4 launch is coming in a couple of weeks. That left the Xperia Z with very little competition on the 1080p / quad-core front.

The HTC Butterfly was the first 1080p phone to hit the market, but it didn’t get a wide launch or a lot of love from HTC before the One was announced.

Well, we’ll have to wait until the Q1 report is out to get concrete numbers from Sony.

This just shows how ridiculously popular Apple is, managing to sell more devices in three days...

Good to hear. I hope it is doing well; I'd get one myself if I could afford it.

Got mine yesterday. So far it seems like an awesome phone. Don't regret it for a second!

Water-resistant? Sweet, all the possibilities under the shower....

yup, its a big reason why i really want it. you can easily use it under the rain, or if anything spills on it its no problem at all. also you can take pictures of hot chicks in the pool!! 

Same as Vita in 1.5 years. Lol.

doesnt sony's fiscal year end at march? or am i mistaken? and yes if this is true its a really good number, much higher than i would have ever thought to be honest

Not bad numbers, Sony and Nokia are gaining traction, slow and steady might win in the future.

Samsung stills owning this market but Apple is just WOW

yeah thought the math didnt add up, if this is true they should cross that 9M mark easily though
