Sony Xperia XZ1: About
Some of you might not be aware of this but the XZ1 is just as solid as its predecessors. No! I don’t literally mean the rock-solid but all I meant was that it has gotten all the core elements right. The display is great and so is the camera. Want a long-lasting battery? No problem, it has gotten this too.
Every smartphone out there has some pros and cons and so those this fellow. It was Sonys first phone which had Android 8.0, the HDR display was great for videos. Dust and water resistant, So don’t worry about receiving calls in the rain, or even jumping in the pool with your phone. On the other side, old schooled bezel-heavy design, the camera is not as good as the rivals but it is the only phone with a full HD display. Of course, I forgot to mention it, all of these features will cost you a hefty price.
