Design a bit bland, No distinguishable extras
At R13 000, the Xperia XZ is priced in the same bracket as the aforementioned LG G5 and Huawei P9, not to mention the Xiaomi Mi 5 which comes in well under the R10K mark. As such, it feels like the device itself is missing that something extra to make it...
The Sony Xperia XZ offers premium design, good display, intuitive software and great camera combination. The Rs. 51,000 price tag of the phone however, seems too high for the specs and features that it offers. Also, there are many options in lower price r...
Overall, the Sony Xperia XZ looks a little out of place compared to its competitors. For instance, you get the similar hardware and additional RAM (6GB on the OnePlus 3) for almost half the price. The LG G5, the HTC 10 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 were all l...
Good, Great build quality, Excellent performance, Good camera
Expensive, Heats up while recording video
If you've made it this far in the review, you've seen that apart from a few niggles, there isn't a lot wrong with the Xperia XZ. It's a good looking phone that's made out of premium materials, has a decent display, handles almost everything you throw at i...
Abstract: B ack in February this year, Sony had launched the Xperia X and Xperia X Performance at MWC 2016 but were quick to bring in their successor and hence we have the Xperia XZ! In fact, we thought that the Xperia XZ is what the Xperia X Performance should hav...
Robust Build and beautiful design, Bright display even in direct sunlight, Precise color reproduction, Speedy Touch sensor, Quick charge, Superb camera
Heats too much, Stops functioning after heating too much, It restarts every time you insert or remove Sim card, Lags sometimes(could be unit specific)
As the price rises, expectations also lift up and why wouldn't they? It's natural. After all a person is investing his money into something which he expects to be reliable and long lasting. But at times the product could upset you a little and you might f...
Good display, Audio playback, Competitive performance
Disappointing camera, Tendency to heat up,
The Xperia XZ isn't a bad phone by any means. A solid attempt from Sony, it brings top of the line hardware and a very pleasing software build. There's some nifty additions too like the ALKALEIDO metal back and the utilitarian form factor that looks under...
Beautiful display, Elegant build, Good gaming performance, The camera clicks good images under ideal conditions
Lackluster speakers, Inconsistent camera performance, No more than 7 min of continuous 4K recording, Placement of the volume rocker is inconvenient
The only reason you will buy this phone is if you are a Sony fan boy. When it comes to audio, camera and overall performance, there are better phones available for the same price point. The OnePlus 3 is a cheaper option, which feels more fluid, but has a...
Abstract: Team Fall in the red corner versus Team Spring in the blue. Okay, not really - it's actually every phone for itself, but the newly-launched contenders from Sony and Apple take on the established players from Samsung and LG that have been around for some s...
