Gorgeous design and solid build, brilliant display, incredibly fast performance, speedy web, good camera
Back panel is smudgy (except the white version), Flimsy port covers, mediocre speaker
So where does this leave the Xperia Z1? I am tremendously impressed by this handset, it is, in my view, one of the nicest devices on the market at the moment in terms of build quality and design. It's also extremely powerful, one of the fastest handsets ...
Quality finish / Waterproof & dustproof, Sony/Android interface, Overall responsiveness, Battery life, Full HD resolution
A rehashed Xperia Z ?, 20 Mpx camera, but only at the cost of image noise and graininess, Narrow viewing angles, Big, heavy phone with wide borders
While other companies quickly caught up with and surpassed the Xperia Z, the Xperia Z1 is a great addition to the high-end Android stock, all without outperforming the competition. The camera isn't the leap forward Sony says it is, but the overall smartph...
Abstract: So what is contributing to this feeling of enjoyment I get when using the Xperia Z1 so far? I think the main thing is the build quality and the overall design, which is still incredibly slick.It matters little that the handset is a wee bit thicker than th...
Sony has upgraded its fantastic Xperia Z. The Xperia Z1 feels nicer but is unfortunately bigger and heavier. It's a powerhouse with an all-round impressive specification. Easily one of the best Android handsets around but the high price tag taints this sl...
Abstract: We test a lot of smartphones here at PC Advisor, but recently two have stood out. The Sony Xperia Z1 and the Galaxy Note 3 are both big Android phones that offer stunning performance and excellent displays. They are part of a new breed of phones alongside...
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
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
The Xperia Z was already a cracking phone, and Sony has only improved it with the Z1. Top-notch build quality combined with high-end specs make for a brilliant device that can keep up with the Galaxy S4s and iPhones of this world, and look good doing i...

Terrific screen, powerful processor, fine camera, waterproof, dust resistant
A bit bulky, not cheap, battery life not great
The Sony Xperia Z1 makes a few improvements to what was already a cracking smartphone. The screen looks great, the processor is the most powerful we've yet seen and the camera is very fine indeed. It's not cheap, but it's waterproof, looks great and it'...

Stylish sturdy design, very powerful, vibrant HD screen, brilliant camera, waterproof
Pricey, prone to scratches
The Xperia Z1 is Sony's best smartphone yet. Its scratch-prone body and custom Android skin let it down, but its 20.7MP camera and smooth performance make it a decent contender against other high-end smartphones....
