Sony Xperia XZ1 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Prateek Pandey]()
Verdict
The Sony Xperia XZ1 is a solid flagship which gets most of the core elements right. The handset ships with a stunning HDR ready display, comes with front-firing speakers which offer undeniably crisp sound, has the fastest mobile processor and offers decent battery life as well. That said, the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy S8 (review) or the Google Pixel 2 XL sport bezel-less designs and fare similar if not better in other departments. Furthermore, smartphones like the OnePlus 5 and the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 (review) can offer you more bang for your buck for significantly less. Therefore, in conclusi...

See those pretty Bokeh shots on your timeline every now and then? Well, you won’t be able to snag those with the Sony Xperia XZ1. Not conforming to the industry standards, the company has decided to not equip its latest flagship with dual cameras on the back, which means that you’ll be somewhat limited with the type of shots you can take. On the flip side, the smartphone does come bundled with some software features unique to the Sony brand which make shooting images from it a lot of fun.

Performance and Software

Spec-wise, the Sony Xperia XZ1 has all the makings of a true flagship. The device is powered by the industry-leading Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor which works in tandem with 4GB of RAM. Naturally, the Sony Xperia XZ1 performs like a champ. Apps load quick, animations are swift and the gaming performance is incredible. Having used the smartphone for almost ten days, I can confidently say that the device is second to none when it comes to raw performance and if that’s all you care about, then the Xperia XZ1 will not disappoint you. Unfortunately, while the hardware is certainly on par with what the competition is offering, the Xperia XZ1 suffers from poor thermal dissipation, much like this year’s XZs. So much so, that the back of the smartphone heats up even if you click a couple of pictures in one go. Thankfully, I didn’t notice any thermal throttling take place and therefore, whether you’re gaming or just shooting videos in 4K, applications will function as they should.
