Sony Xperia XZ
The Sony Xperia XZ is the last of 2016's top Android phones. It's Sony's equivalent of the LG G5 or Samsung Galaxy S7: a top-end phone with lots of features and the price to match.

Sony Xperia XZ review
Sony finally has its flagship X
New refined design ; Impressive camera improvements ; Return of waterproofing
Only full HD screen ; No fingerprint scanner in the US ; Not running Android 7 software
The Sony Xperia XZ is a great premium handset offering everything you'd expect from a flagship phone. If you own a recent Sony phone though it might not be enough of an improvement to rush out and buy it on day one.

Sony Xperia XZ review: Falling short of flagship
With the flagship Xperia Z family abandoned , the device that everyone expected to be the Xperia Z6 launched as the Xperia XZ. The Sony Xperia XZ feels like a device that lacks a strong point and that perhaps reflects its positioning, replacing a...
Waterproofing, some nice software features, decent camera performance
Stamina mode can be too aggressive, camera app is a muddled, battery life poor, confused design
The Sony Xperia XZ feels like a device that lacks a strong point and that perhaps reflects its positioning, replacing a flagship as part of a mixed family of devices.

Sony Xperia XZ Premium review
Sony's new flagship seemingly has it all, from a super-specced screen to super-slow-mo video. But does it do the basics well enough?

Sony Xperia XZ review
Announced during IFA 2016 in Berlin, Sony's Xperia XZ is the latest flagship smartphone to enter the 2016 market and boasts impressive tech, especially in the camera department. Here's our Sony Xperia XZ review.
The Xperia XZ is an attractive phone in design if you can get on with the angular style and while it's cheaper than rivals such as the iPhone 7 and Google Pixel, you can get better value with some older phones like the Samsung Galaxy S7. While the...

Sony Xperia XZ review
Sony needs to get it together. I've reviewed its phones -- from the top of the line down to the most basic -- for several years now, and I hate to see the Xperia family decline. Hard truth: It just can't keep up with its competitors. Take this...
Sony's Xperia XZ looks good, it won't die when you spill your drink on it and its bold screen makes mobile games look great.
Its battery life doesn't impress, and nor does the camera. Its full HD display isn't as high resolution as most of its rivals.
The Sony Xperia XZ is a decent all-round phone, but it doesn't offer any competition to its main rival, the Galaxy S7. Its high price means the XZ isn't the phone to go for.

Sony Xperia XZ Review: In Depth
Sony Xperia XZ Review: Sony's latest 2016 flagship phone is a beast, packing a sexed-up camera with new features inside a sleek, water-resistant body.
Dependable camera ; Smooth sailor ; Crisp, colourful visuals
Scratchy, hand-filling design
Sony’s Xperia XZ isn’t revolutionary, but it is a very good flagship that boasts some of the best mobile camera tech around. Media fans will enjoy the crisp, colourful screen and excellent audio support, while the solid battery life and performance...

Sony Xperia XZ review
Zed's not dead, baby
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
Low on bristling high-tech excitement, but when the also-rans are this good, you know you’re spoilt
