Sony's Xperia Z was quite a looker
But its plastic body left us wanting something a bit more robust. This time around
Sony's upped the build quality with a solid aluminium and glass design that's reminiscent of the iPhone 4. The Z1 is still extremely slim
At just 8.5mm thick. It's also fairly weighty at 169g
Which makes it feel like a premium piece of kit
And puts the likes of the plastic Sa

Too big for some
Not cheap
Speaker is average
Camera doesn't particularly impress
Disappointing battery life
Pricey
Display not best in class
Seems larger than it perhaps needs to be
Device can get very hot
Camera not as far ahead as we'd hoped
Prone to scratches
As a phone
There's not a lot to fault the Z1 on. It's a top-notch piece of kit with a premium feel that screams quality. The one caveat
However
Is its camera. Sony has armed the Z1 with a 20.7-megapixel shooter
Backed up by the Exmor light sensor borrowed from the company's own range of cameras. While it's certainly a fine snapper
It's not perfect. There are plenty of features and options av
A rehashed Xperia Z ?
20 Mpx camera
But only at the cost of image noise and graininess
Viewing angles, Not on Android 4.3, Scratch prone,
The Xperia Z1 is clearly the best of Sony but we’re not entirely sure if its the best device out there. The beautiful glass and aluminum shell of the device is just a bit too prone to scratches. The screen while an improvement over the handset it repla...
With the Z1 retailing online for Rs 41,700, it's hands-down a better option than the Xperia Z Ultra and worth the premium over the Xperia Z. Within the Xperia family, the Z1 is Sony's best offering yet as it fixes most of the nagging issues from its pred...

Elegant design, Excellent performance, Camera at 20MP does fairly well, Much improved battery life with Stamina Mode, Sony's new UI is growing on us
Glass at the back catches scratches easily, Camera Auto Modes restrict aspect ratio and megapixels, For a 5-inch screen, the phone is too tall, Sony could reduce the space at the top and bottom beyond the display area to make the unit more compact
This is essentially the Xperia Z's form factor, with the power of the Xperia Z Ultra. Simply put, the successor to the Xperia Z is on paper the most powerful smartphone available in India. It carries on with almost the same design tone, the water and dust...
