Sony Xperia XZ1 review: Does it deliver?

[@kujtimzymeri3358]

This is not samsung apple or other brand. This is Sony and for sure not a lie but true indeed.

[@purdins1987]

I still use my xz1 and it's the best phone I've ever owned. I've upgraded twice but I always go back when they break. I've dropped the phone hundreds of times, swim with it in my pocket, have had the phone filled with water so you could see the water level in the camera lens. Not a crack on the screen, still works like a dream. It's getting finicky to charge so I'm gonna buy another one brand new in box for $250...a steal if I do say so. My LG thinq dual screen was $1500 and it's already in the trash.

[@GIpsYDAnGer31]

If u wanna buy.. Then buy a xz premium

[@ronlufias]

Mirrorless camera features such as 10fps autoburst focus, 960fps super slow-mo, 5-axis video stabilization, predictive motion. Amazing and innovative all in a smartphone.

[@icekacangfactory]

Ron Lufias definitely i should get one...;-)

[@jaycroix9031]

Sony is classy as always, and i love it. Performance is more important than the design.

[@bremsstrahlung2306]

Jay Croix You nailed it bro.

[@XtremE16]

Now compare iPhone 8 vs samsung note 8 vs lg v30 vs Xperia XZ1 camera test indoor, outdoor, low light... Etc...

[@GudieveNing]

Still love the Sony industrial design that never dates, unlike over stylised phones that look cool at launch, but a year later seem dated. See the monolith in 2001 A Space Odyssey? Same aesthetic as Sony Xperia! If they sorted the low light camera quality (way too mushy) and added an S-Pen like stylus, be an attractive alternative to the competition.

[@AnsarAli-xl2jb]

Design that never dates? really? literally no one thinks this. Even sony themselves recently admitted they need to change designs....

[@supertigerman013]

Of course it never dates...It already looked old and obsolete since the launch, how can it get even more dated?

[@Qimchiy]

S pen isnt needed in Xperia. They have a capasitive screen so you can use a REAL PENCIL

[@Renaldo015]

Xperia looks outdated for 4 yrs already!

[@djoetma]

Sony will change it, because people want it. but personally I like the current design. It's simple and practical. I send my S8 back and went for the XZ Premium. Way more comfortable for my to use. I don't care about the slick looks, I want a little bezel (less slippery, and not accidental input) and good antenna (meaning you'll get extra bezel on top or the bottom). Just wish the battery would be bigger and the DAC was louder. Other than that, the perfect phone (AMOLED wouldn't have hurt either).

I am still glad SONY still made a real phone,not a eggs...

I'd rather use the better device instead of the pretty one I'm no girl and I do not look at the edges instead of the display most of the times.....

[@queenbee6622]

i just got mine yesterday. coming from iphone 7 plus.. i have been a sony fan before and now im back. wasnt disappointed getting the xz1. dont care about bezeless phones that always have screen problems or overpriced iphones that most people buy just to look rich. been watching xz1 reviews for days before deciding to switch and its really worth it. the camera is much better than previous xz models and the selfie is awesome with front flash now! battery life is great as well im on 50% now and had run 3 hours screen on time mostly wifi social media youtube. so pls dont hesitate to get it: i had the s8 too and the front cam is much better witj xz1 even in low light.

[@ohyeahyeah6172]

This is really late but im considering switching to it now but have you experienced any problems with it?

Xperia XZ1 doesn't have a front flash, though.

[@hooman9e]

Abanish Deb Gupta I'm not a reviewer or doing tests but I was worried I'd need to top up charge more than once a day. Happy to say I don't have to. Realistically I could not charge it until I get home after a full day at work. Very impressive. If phones with bigger batteries get Oreo then their battery life could be even greater.

[@heckinchap4359]

They are slowly closing the gap with Samsung and Iphone. They were probably more focused on making Android run smooth on their phone. Now that they have done that; they will improve the design of the phone and it's features. Can't wait to see what the next XZ Premium will look like.

[@jackshang4315]

qusaiy taleb I got the premium last week, it's a great phone, and android oreo is pretty smooth! Appreciate your reply nonetheless.

[@charleshines6155]

There are Xperias with 4K displays too, the Z5 premium is one of them and probably Sony's first. If it had just a 1080p display it would be nearly indistinguishable from the Xperia X because the style is basically the same. One other thing I like about Sony other than having specs that make their devices stand a mile out of the crowd a long time before everyone else is they are water resistant. What I like also is that they didn't make their phones ugly while making them water resistant. I like the clean design of their devices. Their 5 inch 1080p display has been around since 2013 and maybe sooner and even all those years ago it was a remarkable display and it still is. Sure some people might argue that Super AMOLED would be superior but those things are known for BURN IN!! I have never seen an IPS display with burn in even once on any brand of device. I can see why Samsung uses those displays but they are pure garbage otherwise and clearly NOT made to last.

Sony makes some really good phones. I have an Xperia X that continues to amaze people with the quality of the photos taken by its 23 MP camera. My mother has a Galaxy J3 and while it can take OK pictures she often uses my Xperia. Even the older Xperias with the 20.7 MP camera were very good too. We get yellow caterpillars in our yard at certain times of the year and I took a pic of one of them with my Xperia just to show the detail it can capture and I normally go the other way when I see something like that crawling around. You would too because those are American Dagger Moth caterpillars and I hear they are awful if they sting you!!
