Sony Xperia XZ1 5.2 Inch HD Screen, Android 8.0 Oreo, UK SIM-Free Smartphone with 4Gb RAM and 32 GB Storage (Single SIM) - Twilight Pink

The UK model launched 31st August 2017, but was arguably overshadowed by the Xperia XZ Premium. The truth is they're very similar handsets, and whilst 4K playback isn't available on this particular model, the contrast is actually broader, and the size is more manageable generally. I love the way the antenna has been incorporated into the shell design, and the handset is perhaps one of sony's most refined architectures to date. The piano black bezels can simply be absorbed into any dark wallpaper, and it's literally exquisite from every angle. But that isn't what stands out the most. This phone is a powerhouse, from the boot procedure to app loading times, to the speed with which photographs can be taken, and pie is superb delivering about seven and a half hours screen on time from a very modest battery. The immediate strengths are the fluidity of the software and the RAM management, the audio quality, and the day-to-day reliability. If I had to flag a few negatives, in ear volume could be louder and the camera, whilst very clear, invariably takes on a portait mode with a strong foreground that loses focus as you drift backwards. Android support will also expire in the later part of 2019, but for £199.00 it's a dream. If funds are limited, and you're yet to climb on the multi-lens bandwagon, this will do zero to sixty a lot faster than you gave it credit for. This is a superb, straight down the middle handset that has been overlooked for far too long, although the price drop is at least giving it some belated recognition.

Bought as offered on the 2018 Black Friday deal for a very good price. Basically the same price as the newer but lesser specced model, the mid-range XA2. The screen offers much more contrast and clarity than the XA2 and this is not too surprising really, as the XZ1 was once top-of-the-line for Sony. The company seems to release new phones every six-months or so and we're now up to XZ3 which is in the same expensive league as iPhone X's and their ilk. This made the XZ1 too good a bargain to miss for the power and quality you get. I actually "upgraded' from an XA2. The camera features a smaller sensor than the XA2 but it is a better-quality one at 19MP, compared with the cheaper phone's 23MP. In photographic parlance this helps reduce "noise" in a photo. Also, being backed-up by a more powerful processor means the XZ1 camera can do very high-speed photography and even 3D imaging. I've yet to try the latter but have no doubts it will, at the very least, work. The screen is "Gorilla" glass by Corning and the case is metal, so all in all it's a beautiful gadget. I bought the official Sony SCSG50 flip-case (in Blue just to be different) to keep it that way. The phone takes Micro-SD memory cards and uses a USB-C connector for sync and charge. Despite what the item description says, I received a 64GB model. So unless you need to be at the cutting-edge of smartphone releases the XZ1 at Black Friday prices is a bargain to be had.

First thing I noticed was the weight, being notably lighter than my old Z2 it is replacing. However there is still the same reassuring feeling of quality the aluminium frame and Sony build give you. Professional reviews mark down for the aluminium bezels but in my opinion they're the reason my previous Z2 and the Z before it lasted as long as they did. Neither had a case and survived the occasional fall from a loose pocket on to concrete with only the occasional scratch. Performance wise I can't fault it, was always going to mock what went before and it does it with ease. Super fast and slick with the HDR screen very impressive and probably one of the reasons I'm currently getting two days battery life, you really don't need it that bright at all. Other reasons for purchasing the XZ1 were the headphone port although so far unused and the fingerprint scanner which work's impressively quickly. Overall I cannot fault it and can't imagine ever needing anything quicker. For fans of previous Xperia phone's it's nice to see how refined the design has become over the years. Lovely feel and looks I shall be purchasing my first ever case to protect!

Bought this on pre-order as the internal memory in my old Xperia Z2 was filling up and struggling to keep apps updated. Initially delighted, set up was easy and NFC data import from my old phone worked brilliantly. Love the fingerprint recognition - I have 3 fingers set up as recognisable, so whatever way I pick up my phone, I can easily unlock it. I bought it on offer with the SBH24 headset included - it's brilliant for gym work outs - no longer tethered to my phone on the cross-trainer. Screen is clear, I have it set up for auto-brightness, so it adjusts to ambient light - this isn't always a smooth transition in screen brightness, but it can be switched off and manually adjusted. However.... After having it for 3 weeks, I am having problems with Bluetooth crashing, selectively creating a poor data share (won't connect with my car consistently - occasionally refuses to show call logs), or even causing the phone to crash and spontaneously restart. I contacted Sony Support who talked me through a software repair, but this has been unsuccessful in solving the problem - it crashed twice in the space of 3 hours yesterday. Will be returning for a replacement, in the hope that it's a one off anomaly. ******Update****** Almost a week on and I haven't returned my phone for replacement - have been reading that the Bluetooth problem seems to be linked to OS Oreo version 8.0.0. Other phone brand users reporting the same frustration. Have also discovered that within Settings>System>Developer Options>Bluetooth there are different Bluetooth versions you can switch to. Phone comes with the latest version (1.6) but also versions 1.4 and 1.5. Having tried the older versions, I found crashes and poor connectivity with version 1.4, however 1.5 seems to be giving better connection and communication with my car and fewer system crashes. Fingers crossed Android send out an OS update sorting out the problem soon, and that Sony pass it on.

-I like the design it makes it unique (bezel size could be reduced like xa2) -The software is great. I rarely had lag and it never froze after 1 year of use. -Camera is good if you photograph manually. It still lacks software modes, and camera UI is not user friendly. -The colors looking exceptional in this phone. -Sound is good but could be louder. -Constant software updates support. -Phone is well build. Still no scratches. (I use gel case) -Fingerprint on the lock button is my favorite feature on this device. -USB type C port charge the phone very fast. I recommend this phone.

The NFC doesn't work. It took so long to arrive the last day for returns was 3 weeks before it arrived. I won't by a phone on line again.

This was the first of my faulty two phone experience with Amazon. Had a friend who owned the XZ1 and he raved about it. Black friday cane along and Amazon had a cracking deal, so I bought it. It was a great phone, until the battery died, and it switched off and froze. Problem is I am sure the one I received was just a faulty unit, but it kind of annoyed me. If I am honest I kinda wish I had the experience that my mate had but I didn't.

I finally had enough of my 3 year old (budget) smart phone, which was so sloooow. After a lot of research, comparing specs and prices, the XZ1 stood out as the best value for money. I didn't want to spend a fortune since I don't live on my mobile, but I wanted something quick with plenty of memory and this ticked the boxes. Some reviews said it was "old style" but honestly I'm very happy with it. I also own an iPhone 6s (company phone) and this is faster. Considering the price I paid, it's amazing. Since I was upgrading from another android it was dead easy to transfer via the Google cloud. Withing less than 30 minutes I was up and running...all the apps I had before but running lightning fast, no longer snail pace. I still haven't explored all the features, like the different camera modes (still and video), but the basic point and shoot pics are excellent quality. Very pleased with my new Sony mobile.

Movil Xperia XZ1 ok, pero el cargador es UK, no compatible con los enchufes Españoles, y no lo advierten.

Sony è un marchio che già conoscevo e per me produce ottimi smartphone il problema più grande è la durata della batteria, dura veramente poco. Nota dolente il venditore mi ha spedito il telefono con caricabatterie a presa inglese ed ho dovuto comprarmi un adattatore

BIGLOBE SIMで使用中。特に問題はありません。 一年以上前の端末ですが性能はイイ！ アリス・ギア・アイギス、バンドリ、閃乱カグラも快適に動きます。 音楽面もハイレゾ対応でノイズキャンセリングも優秀です。 日本でSIMフリーを販売して欲しい。 端末と携帯料金分離するならちょうどいいのでは？

楽天モバイルのシムカードで問題なく動作しました。 日本語表示もOKです。 しかし、当然ながらテレビは周波数が合わないので観られないと思います。 付属のACアダプターは使えません。 おサイフケータイは使ってないので分かりません。 でも、国内向けの中古品よりも安く買えたので満足です。

Questo è un modello di parecchi anni fa, ma uguale molto veloce, resistente all'acqua, e da batería di larga durata. Spedito a tempo, e ricevuto con imballaggio originale e adecuadamente protetto. Raccomandato!
