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

Design and First Impressions

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 ?

Narrow viewing angles, Camera could be better, Still not especially ergonomic
A beautiful slab of smartphone, the Xperia Z1 improves on the great start made by the Xperia Z. It's great-looking, fast and has a lovely screen - if you ignore the narrow viewing angles.Sony's light skinning of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean works well (an updat...
Premium and solid build quality and gorgeous design of glass back, Great camera with great pictures, low light photography and amazing camera apps. Using the added dedicated camera button, Waterproof and dustproof. Seriously, no one else does this better
Glass front and back worries me that I might accidentally drop the phone and shatter something, No hardware buttons, just on screen “Back” “Home” and “Multitasking” buttons, Flimsy microSIM tray underneath the flap, makes me worry that I might break it
