advertisement apps, very high energy use, slow memory transfer speeds, GPS module takes long to find a lock, high color deviations in the display
The visionary, the Xperia XZ, is sadly not strong enough to ignite a revolution. In many ways, this test model is far too conservative and does not take risks. We could classify it as reliable rather than "revolutionary".In terms of the battery life, the...
If you've patiently read our review until this point, you'd have noticed a trend - in most aspects of our review criteria the Sony Xperia XZ is a good performer but not the best. Moreover, like we mentioned at the onset of the review, the phone needed to...
Sony's Xperia XZ looks good, it won't die when you spill your drink on it and its bold screen makes mobile games look great
Its battery life doesn't impress, and nor does the camera. Its full HD display isn't as high resolution as most of its rivals
The Sony Xperia XZ is a decent all-round phone, but it doesn't offer any competition to its main rival, the Galaxy S7. Its high price means the XZ isn't the phone to go for...
Display, Fingerprint magnet backside, Omission of the fingerprint reader, Position of the volume rocker and power button, No CDMA support
As I mentioned, the Xperia XZ is a bit of a tough sell at $699. Sure it is flagship material, but it is also missing a great number of things that make other $699 smartphones worth the price. One is the display. A 1080p display is great for 5.2-inches, bu...
Fantastic build quality, Comfortable in hand feel, Software is clean and easy to use, Great camera, MicroSD slot, Hi-Res audio support, Vibrant display
Front-facing speakers are weak, High price point, No fingerprint sensor (U.S. model)

Sony's Xperia XZ isn't revolutionary, but it is a very good flagship that boasts some of the best mobile camera tech around. Media fans will enjoy the crisp, colourful screen and excellent audio support, while the solid battery life and performance makes...
Stylish design with goodlooking and original color selection, Waterproof, Dual frontfiring speakers, Expandable storage
Counterintuitive camera interface, No fingerprint scanner in the US, Colors on the display are not properly balanced, appear bluish, Expected to ship with Android 6 in times when Android 7 Nougat phones enter the market
Frankly, we're perplexed by the price of the Sony Xperia XZ: it's sold at a whopping $700 in the United States. We expect this price to quickly go down in the coming few months, but right now, it looks less competitive than the Samsung Galaxy S7 that you...
Abstract: The Android smartphone turf war has one major front now — camera quality. It's still the one smartphone feature that has the potential to improve by leaps and bounds in the near future, and it's become one of the main reasons consumers pick one phone over...
Impressive display, even at 1080p, Solid performance, Camera a decent allround performer, Water resistance, Clean, welldesigned software
Boring design, Smudgy back panel, No fingerprint security in U.S, Large, thick form factor with big bezels, Camera scene detection color wonk
Should you buy the Sony Xperia XZ? If you're a fanSony is almost back on top form. The Xperia XZ is a solid all-round handset that does a lot of things right - a handset to restore the faith of Sony fans. Its greatest sin is probably looking a little dull...
