Typical Sony minimalism with better ergonomics, Practically flawless performance, Sony's UI still pleases (even without Nougat underneath)
Screen colours are overblown, Very average speakers, Camera doesn't live up to the specs

Considering Sony made quite the fanfare about the Xperia XZ when it was launched, regarding the camera, and considering Sony makes such excellent stand-alone cameras, the XZ is a little disappointing.Yes, it takes great photos in good light, but y...
Stylish, sturdy and water-resistant metal construction, 5.2-inch Full HD display with Triluminos and X Reality technologies and handy features, Durable battery and useful power saving modes, Fingerprint scanner, USB Type-C and Quick Charge 3.0 technology
Extremely prone to fingerprints, Slightly uncomfortable placement of the volume controls
As a Sony flagship model Xperia XZ is responsible for demonstrating top-notch specifications. And if software-wise this phone is similar to other Xperia X devices, hardware-wise we can spot the differences. Xperia XZ uses the best components Sony can offe...

Very good highcontrast detail in bright conditions, Comfortable to hold and operate, Physical shutter button provides real camera feel, Manual control of shutter speed, Very good electronic stabilization and stable AF in video mode, Front camera captures
Smeared detail, luminance noise and artifacts at base ISO, Strong lens softness in the corners of the frame, Lack of detail and soft edges at higher ISO values, Occasionally unreliable WB when flash is mixed with other light sources, Lack of OIS can lead
The Sony Xperia XZ offers solid construction with a waterproof body and responsive operation. it records smooth video footage and thanks to a high pixel-count, the camera captures good high-contrast detail in bright light, but image quality drops off quic...
Bright display, Comfortable grip, Solid image stabilization on videos, Impressive battery life
Doesn't live up to blur-free promise, Photos shot in daylight appear too bright, Distorted color in low-light shots
The Sony Xperia XZ is a handsome choice that's comfortable to hold, and we like the vibrant screen and impressive 10-plus hour battery life. Given the phone’s $699 price tag, though, it’s hard to recommend the XZ over either Samsung’s Galaxy S7 ($669) or...
Great design and finish, IP68 certificated, Decent battery autonomy, Fluid performance
Lowlight pics noisy, Fingerprint reader is not active in USA, No FM radio
It costs between $650 and $700, unlocked, for 32GB. As we've noted, that's expensive considering the excellent options available for half as much. But expect to pay the same for a 32GB Galaxy S7 and 32GB iPhone 7. The Sony Xperia XZ doesn't match thos...
stylish design, good software, various settings for sound and video, fast fingerprint sensor, reliable camera, high-resolution front camera, good pictures, clear speech quality, MHL, NFC, USB-OTG, precise controls, even illumination, bright display, low
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...
