Sony Xperia Z1 review

Sony was the first of the big-name makers to start another 2013 lead smartphone back in March, with the Sony Xperia Z, a 5-inch demonstrate ostensibly rather comparative to the new Sony Xperia Z1.

The Xperia Z beat the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 to market, offering a quad-center processor, 1080p showcase, 13 Megapixel Polaroid, 2GB of Ram, and water and dust safety. It was mind blowing. Furthermore still is, seeing as so small time has passed since it arrived.

Now, there's another Sony lead for the autumn/winter season, in the expansive, shiny state of the Xperia Z1. There's a more effective processor inside, a higher-spec Polaroid and another metal body, yet its still conspicuously identified with the more advanced in years Z, both in outline terms and the programming it runs.
