Sony Xperia XZ1 Review

40 Comments

1. I LOVE THE DESIGN

2. Look is fine – minimal, elegant. Sadly, Sony listened to morons like ^^ and created the XZ2 with some awful, glossy bulbous shit.

3. I had Galaxy S8 for a half year. Now I switched back to Sony XZ1. And I don't agree with your opinion about the camera. Sony has a Much better camera compared to Samsung, both picture wise and video. Also had no problems shooting in low light. The design…. well it is also a matter of preference. Another thing, I had a hard time not accidentally touching something on my S8 while keeping it in the hand. And that's because of the beautiful but not so comfortable display. Specs wise the XZ1 is just like the Galaxy S8 if you don't go too deep, faster finger print, better audio and camera. but without the cool Iris Scanner.

   By the way never had problems with the Galaxy S8 fingerprint reader, Sony's is just faster.

4. I love the bezels !

5. I just got the phone and one of the first things i noticed was that the flashlight is not bright at all compared to my xperia zl. That's a deal breaker for my. Has this happened to anyone? I need to know if there's something wrong with the phone.

6. The design actually looks good and timeless for me, it reminds me of the walkman

7. I appreciate Sony design language. Good review but the opinion at the end isn't necessary.

8. So you like the metal, you like the feel and how it sits in the hand, but you don't like the design. I don't see how you don't like the design when you like all these parameters. You basically jumped on what everybody says wagon. Zero research. I've you've done your homework you would know that the fingerprint sensor is there, you just need to flash the global rom. You would also know that this is the US gov fault, as it doesn't want user sensitive data stored in a non-US server.

9. Yet another phone review that doesn't mention how it performs as a, erm, TELEPHONE!

10. iphone 8 and pixel 2 still get stuck to their LARGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BEZEL, they seems well……

    OLD.

11. I'm very confused by your closing statement. If you are looking for an allround great android flagship get something else? What? Just because this phone has bezels? Pretty absurd. You might as well update every other review to say, if you are looking for a phone that actually has it all, IP68 and a headphone jack and an SD card slot, you should really consider Sony.

12. please add a video of xperia xa1 plus review

13. I do not agree with your opinion on the design its the best design out there in my opinion. It looks sexy af!

14. Probably the only phone that looks good with a colored front panel since it don't have any black borders around the screen and the wallpaper helps really well with matched colors of the body

15. Wtf is wrong with Sony? They seriously need to consider firing their designers

16. Big Sony fan here, mainly because they have quality products

17. Obviously an Apple sheep.

18. Los que se ponen a criticar es dificil crear un telefono con tecnologia humana de un año para otro

19. That wireless charging theory makes so much sense. Why need it when you'll interrupt the process when you're trying to use your phone. Instead they gave glass back which is not durable

20. How is the battery life in the phone. Though it packs 2700 mah, it scored better in endurance test than the Xperia XZ premium. Can anyone tell about it?

21. That chin is bigger than your average American

22. this design is the best for me! i dont like the shitty bezelless design of iphone(i dont like iphones actually),s8(dont like samsung too!)..propably my next phone!!(or the pixel 2!) 🙂

23. If all phone adopted to bezel less design doesn't mean best in battery and performance.

24. I don't like the bezels. way too much

25. The phone that nobody cares.

26. Only Xperia

    S8 and cia bored cameras

27. This phone seems awesome for some one that already have a notebook and/or tablet and don't need a huge phone to carry around.
    But for me I would prefer one gadget to rule all : Galaxy Note 8 with Dex !

28. XZ1 destroy camera pixel

    Pixel only win when pay fake dxomark

29. I think I'm the only one in this world don't care about that bezel. Performance more important to me.

30. The bezels are there because Sony phones are all about the camera and the bezels will help with the grip and that you can press the "camera button"

31. I use Sony phones for 10years now.. Xperia Mini, Z1 Compact, Z5 to name a few… Excels at every thing, and I like the design..

32. The phone looks ugly

33. 20 years later….

    Presenting the Sony XYZ 20!

34. Sony has to URGENTLY reduce those ugly bezels. It's a matter of life or death now

35. I hope sony will keep this design also in future phones. Those who wants no bezels can get another brand, not all consumers wants bezelless phones and its good that there are phones to choose from.

36. Bezeless? Bezel MOORRE!
    Rounded corner? Jeez please..
    AUTHENTIC. STAY TRUE. STAY ugly.

37. With so many options coming out this year of great phones there's almost no reason to own this new Sony device especially now with the more compact pixel 2 why would you get an Xperia XZ1?

38. Why would anyone buy this? bet its really expensive being a sony

39. Looks better than the Pixel 2 but the Pixel 2 is a much better phone!

40. Been using Xperia phones since 2012 and I must say the XZ1 it's a good phone. But it seriously looks dated! C'mon, Sony! Overhaul your design concept next year!
