Which Xperia phone models have pressure sensor?

[hgoebl]

I've downloaded many specs (e.g. Z, Z1 compact, ...) but haven't found information about whether one of the newer phones have a pressure sensor (barometer, typically used to calculate altitude).

Is there a feature matrix showing devices and features like "pressure sensor"?

I am not sure if there are Xperias with inbuilt barometer.Z1 and P that I have definetely do not have it,but as far as I know they are not implemented with it.For more info,contact a staff member:

I have searched a little and found that Xperia active has a sensor app:

Thanks. If Xperia active is the only phone with pressure sensor (barometer), then this is really sad, because Sony doesn't sell it any more.

Calculating altitude based on GPS is a desaster, especially if you want to know current and total incline when doing outdoor activities. In the following graph you can see the altitude (GPS-based) of a Xperia active resting on the same location for about 3 hours. Height varies by almost 100 meters and it's steadily going up and down:

I'm afraid I have to change to Samsung Galaxy S4. This makes me sick - Sony has about 26 models (A..Z), they already had a compact outdoor phone (active: waterproof, ANT+, barometer, compact) and now they produce indistiguishable, longish phones which lack important features for outdoor freaks.

@Sony: Is it true that you haven't spent a barometer for Z1 Compact? Are there any plans for Z2 compact to have barometer (pressure sensor)? I have some time left, Xperia neo and active are still working...
