Abstract: If you're going to review a smartphone, you have to take the time and you have to do it right. I've spent almost four weeks using the Sony Xperia XZ as my primary phone, and it is amazing.Sony is one of those brands that doesn't even get a look-in when it...
Sony's Xperia XZ1 is closer to the XZ Premium than it is to the XZ. It offers a lot more power and will provide better performance, but it is also a lot more expensive than the XZ's current price. If you're looking to buy a new phone, we'd recommend payin...

Fast, impressive camera, especially XZ, Chic design, Water-resistance (on XZ only), Nimble performer, Strong battery life, Clever long-term charging system
No water resistance on Compact, Lots of Sony apps pre-installed, Not yet latest Android version
It's tough making a flagship phone stand out from rivals these days. Samsung chose a radically different design for its edge and Note phones, Apple chose two cameras for greater photographic versatility. Here, Sony has gone a little way to addressing both...
The Xperia XZ doesn't represent a revolutionary step from Sony. Rather it's a repackaging of the highlights we've seen in previous Xperia handsets, with a refined design and a few more tweaks to keep up with the competition.It would have been nice to see...
Abstract: The Sony Xperia XZ Premium might be arriving in the next few months, that means we will see their flagship from last year drop in price. So why not take a look and see what you might get for a modest price.Looking around the device. On the top, there is a...

Abstract: SONY'S LATEST HIGH-END SMARTPHONE, the Xperia XZ, was announced at IFA 2016 and confused just about everyone with its top-end specs sheet. The Sony Xperia XZ won't need to do much to impress coming hot on the heels of two disappointing entries from the f...

The Xperia XZ is easily the best phone Sony has put out in a while, but the bar wasn't set particularly high so perhaps that's a bit unfair. Sticking to that theme we were quietly impressed with the Xperia's efforts, and it managed to beat the Galaxy in a...
Abstract: Sony's latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia XZ, takes everything that was good about the Compact and stretches it out.Priced at around €700, its main competitors are the likes of Apple's iPhone 7, Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the OnePlus Three. It stan...
