Learn how to make and handle calls on your Sony Xperia Z. You can make a call by manually dialing a phone number, by tapping a number saved in your contact list, or by tapping the phone number in your call log view. You can also use the smart dial feature to quickly find numbers from your contact list and call logs. When you make a call, your device’s main microphone works together with the second microphone to suppress noise and background sound.
