I’ve been using the Sony Xperia Z for a few weeks now and I’m pretty much in love with it. The Sony Xperia Z has a very beautiful design and comes pack with top of line specs making it one of the best Android phones available in the market right now. As with any expensive smartphone, I decided to get accessories with it, the first thing that came to my mind was a charging dock of course.
So I decided to not take any risks and go with the official Sony Xperia Z Charging Dock model DK26 which I’ll be reviewing today.
The dock has a nice design and is painted black to match the Xperia Z, the dock is also available in White and Purple. In the dock the phone will be in Landscape mode so it’s not like Samsung docks which are mostly Portrait. The dock also holds the Xperia Z in a comfortable viewing angle so you can use it while charging or while watching a movie with the dock on your desk. The charger also won’t require your to connect your Xperia Z with it’s MicroUSB slot, instead it charges via the conductors on the phone’s left side making, so all you have to do is just slider your phone into the dock and it’ll start charging.
Unfortunately the DK26 dock can’t charge directly from your PC so users will have to connect the USB input at the back of the dock to AC power. The dock will also not work with a case of any kind and is intended to be used with a naked Xperia Z.
Overall I’m very happy with the dock, it could’ve been a bit cheaper considering it’s just a piece of plastic but it is quality stuff. TechDeville gives the Sony Xperia Z Charging Dock DK26 3.5/5 stars and if you’re interested you can grab one from here.
