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

Plenty of decent software refinements, battery life with Stamina mode, solid build quality, power, fun camera features, waterproof

Camera doesn't particularly impress, Disappointing battery life, Pricey
The Sony Xperia Z1 packs a Full HD display and a ludicrously powerful processor into a gorgeous, totally waterproof body. It has some serious bragging rights, but it's let down by a camera that doesn't take brilliant photos and an unimpressive battery lif...
Crisp HD screen; Featurepacked camera; Excellent connectivity and accessories; Decent battery life
Screen could be brighter
Sonys Xperia Z1 is an all-round masterpiece of design and technology, and one of the most desirable smartphones we’ve ever clutched in our sweaty palms. It’s a chunky beast, no doubt, but that slick waterproof one-piece metallic frame hides a powerful 2....

Dedicated camera button for underwater shooting, Curvy. more comfortable design, Speedy, overall performance

The Xperia Z1 is another all-round great phone from Sony, just like the Xperia Z it replaced and the Xperia Z2 which has just taken over at the top of the pile.It has a superb display at times, a large battery that easily sails through a day of hardcore u...
