The editors liked

  • Solid construction
  • Waterproof
  • Dustproof
  • High quality camera in the right circumstances

  • Waterproof and dust-resistant
  • Camera works well in low light
  • Smooth software & good performance
  • Good battery life
  • Some clever Sony additions
  • The most powerful mobile device I've ever tested

The editors didn't like

  • Camera hit and miss
  • And software surprisingly a bit simple
  • Device is big and chunky with large bezels
  • Buttons could be better placed
  • Glass back adds weight to the device
  • The phone body is angular and we do not find it comfortable to hold. The placement of the lens is right where the left index finger hangs over the edge. We took a lot of finger pictures
  • Screen has poor viewing angles
  • Questionable ergonomics
  • Back glass scratches too easily
  • Loads of Sony bloatware
  • Disappointing indoor photos
  • Erratic screen technology
  • Disappointing battery life
  • Wide bezel results in chunky body
  • Camera can be hit and miss in auto mode
  • Pricey
  • Battery only lasts a day
  • 20 megapixel camera defaults to 8 megapixels
  • And doesn't offer much functionality when you're shooting at 20
  • Screen washes out slightly at angles
  • Gets mighty toasty in use
  • No infrared port
  • And can't be used as a remote contr

  • In terms of performance, call quality and battery life, I would say the Xperia Z1 is above average in every respect. It really is an impressive step up from the earlier Xperia models and a fine flagship Android smartphone that can stand toe-to-toe against...

  • No. That screen is a deal-breaker. For all its many great points, with that screen, I cant recommend anyone should spend more than Rs. 20,000 for this phone. Given that the Z1 is twice the price, and unlikely that it will ever come down to those levels...
