Design - ALKALEIDO metal The Sony Xperia XZ stands apart from previous Sony smartphones, by its use of ALKALEIDO metal, which has high purity, brightness and shine. The metal back is part of a unified design loop surface, created for a good fit in the hand and inspired by a monolithic form.

It pays never to disregard Sony products and its mobile phones are no exception. The latest, Xperia XZ, has the quality, design and functionality one expects of the brand and provides a supersmooth experience – smoother, possibly, than the top Android de nos jours, Google's Pixel .

the Xperia XZ, was announced at IFA 2016 and confused just about everyone with its top-end specs sheet. The Sony Xperia XZ won't need to do much to impress coming hot on the heels of two disappointing entries from the firm.

The Sony Xperia XZ is Sony's brand new flagship phone - or crown jewel as the corporation prefers to call it. Sony is keen to push the camera, intelligent battery, smart technology, and design as the key features that really make the XZ stand out - but is it worth the purchase in a market dominated...

The Sony Xperia XZ misses out nothing and brings a lot of solid features to the table. If you're a Sony fan and wanting to know if this is a phone you should get, then yes, yes it is. What about everyone else

Switched from a Samsung S6 Edge to this and am super happy. Everything feels better! Significantly faster phone overall, much cleaner and faster interface, better camera with camera features and above all, better battery life! Battery life on this is clearly superior to my previous Samsung.

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;
