The Sony Xperia ZR is a touchscreen-enabled, HD Android flagship smartphone designed, developed, and marketed by Sony Mobile.

The phone was announced by Sony at CES 2013 and was released on 17 May 2013 in Japan. The Xperia ZR was initially shipped with Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) and has been updated to Android 5.1.1[5] recently.

This results that standard USB OTG cable cannot be used, but cable adapter with micro-B plug and standard A socket allows to connect peripheral USB devices such as keyboard, mouse, flash drive, sound card. USB-Ethernet adaptor does not work in the Sony's official Android 4.1. In this case external devices will draw energy from the phone and phone cannot be powered at the same time. Charging dock Sony DK28 which is dedicated for Xperia ZR, physically does not allow battery charging and using USB/MHL connector at the same time.
