Pros & Cons
Pros
The battery pack is only 2,700 mah, but it easily provides an all-day charge, even with moderate to heavy use. Sony's ultra stamina mode is also available and limits available apps to save on battery usage.
The sony xperia xz1 is an elegant, substantial phone. All metal frame. It is really smooth and slippery, though.
Stereo front facing speakers are awesome and the ui is fast. The speakerphone is fine, but i don't always want that or to use a bluetooth headset. I'm glad it keeps the headphone jack, the last sony flagship to do so. Bluetooth seems to reliably conne... Read More
Ips lcd panel with a 1920x1080 resolution. Display gets very bright when it is in a bright place, but also dark enough to be comfortable in a dark room.
Sony’s new xperia xz1 delivers what you would expect from a sony flagship. It's sleek, has improvements in the features from the previous models. The new snapdragon is great.
Cons
The proprietary audio and visual engines only work with drm locked phone. The battery drains like a sewage pipe. No smart phone shop in us deal with xperia.
Sony is guilty of slowing phones down with their updates. It makes the device unnecessarily big, the screen feel smaller than it really is. All this was posted on the sony forums for support.
Highlights
Quality
Great build, great processor, great camera, amazing battery, it adjusts the more you use the phone.
Great camera quality, great runtime, great battery, great everything.
The phone with minimal use gets 3-4 days of battery and even when streaming or heavy use sti gets a full 2+ days.
The phone is water- and dust-proof to an ip68 rating.
Price
Once you have the fingerprint reader enabled, this is the best phone you can get for $550, hands down (early 2018).
I think this phone should be retailing for maybe $50-100 less than it is (which, based on past history, it will within 3-6 months).
And for those who are moving from an ios to an android device and missing imessage, check out the pulse app (paid version is el... Read More
And for nearly $700, it certainly should have a premium feel to it.
Shipping
I don't know what voodoo you used, but i ordered this phone on a friday and received it on sunday!
The amazon rep said the product i received is the us warranty edition.
I bought the international unlocked version because i was too impatient to wait until it was officially available in the us, bu... Read More
Came here to say that i am more than disappointed with whoever the retard was that decided a wide angle selfie lense was the way to go.
Packaging/appearance
The screen gets packed with fingerprints very easily.
Note: my xperia package box states g8342 which is the same as the international edition no.
I got this phone in "used - like new" condition from the amazon warehouse and it came with the original box and accessories.
Not sure what sony (and oreo) did, but i can make it to 9pm and still packing 45% of the battery.
Competitiveness
I spent days comparing brands down to the number of cores in every phones processor, and found a plethora with similar specs an... Read More
The xz1 performs as well as those flagships and has similar if not better battery life.
They have no carrier relationships to speak of, which puts them behind the eight ball when competing with samsung, apple, lg, a... Read More
The past 12-16 months gave us the x, the x compact, the x performance, the xz, the xzs, the xa1, and a gaggle of other mid-tier... Read More
