From the observation on both Sony Xperia Z European version and the Japanese version, there are differences between the displays of both devices.

The display of Sony Xperia Z SO-02E is sharper than the Sony Xperia Z European version. As the navigation bar and notification bar of Sony Xperia Z European version are in gray color instead of the black color. But the Sony Xperia Z SO-02E for Japanese market has navigation and notification bar in black color. 

It remains unknown why Sony decided to use two differences colors instead of standardized all in black color. The gray color notification bar and navigation bar of Sony Xperia Z really low down the quality of the device as the display looks not as sharp as other devices in the market.

There are many users that dissatisfied with the gray color navigation bar and the notification bar of the Sony Xperia Z.
