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 ?

No. That screen is a deal-breaker. For all its many great points, with that screen, I cant recommend anyone should spend more than Rs. 20,000 for this phone. Given that the Z1 is twice the price, and unlikely that it will ever come down to those levels...
