Sony has just announced the Xperia Z1, the phone that has been long-rumored to be called the Honami. It is the successor to Xperia Z, but is the best? Let's take a look.
the Xperia Z1 sells Z plastic to metal
Perhaps our favorite design change Xperia Z1 is that plastic parts inside and outside of Xperia Z were replaced by metal.
The glass front and rear panels used in Xperia Z are still here, but the skeleton of metal makes the Xperia Z1 feel like a phone much flashier, more strong. This care of one of our initial complaints about the original Z – that doesn't feel all that expensive, despite all the glass on display.

And maintains the weatherproofing IP57
The basic design of high-end Xperias hasn't changed, though. Xperia Z is Z1 use rubber-sealed panels that cover the phone ports to stop the water from getting into the phone inside.
Both phones are classified according to IP57, means that you are protected from dust and can be immersed in water without dying. In particular, they can be dunked in 1 m of water for 30 minutes.
But the Xperia Z is lighter and thinner
Better build quality and a high-end feel are important, but there is a bit of a trade-off. the Xperia Z1 is a bit heavier and thicker than the Xperia Z.
The latest phone is 8.3 mm thick. It's just a chubby, but squared design Xperia Xperia's Z1 and Z show the difference, where curvy phones can hide their bumps more easily.
And the Xperia Z1 has a very high capacity battery
The extra girth Xperia Z1 is not just down to the use of aluminium as opposed to plastic. It also has a much larger battery.
the Xperia has a 2 Z, Z1 a 330mAh, Xperia 3, 000mAh units. Since both phones have 1080 p screens from 5 inches, this should result in much better resistance to the new phone.
Is a much needed improvement too, as poor battery life is a real concern with the Xperia Z.
the Xperia Z1 has a better camera, very, very
One of the improvements the team trusted Favorites in Xperia Z1 is its improved camera. In terms of megapixels, there's a huge jump from 12 megapixels on a whopping 20. However, this is not the exciting bit.
What is worth bragging about on Sony's part is the use of a 1/2.3-inch sensor. This is the same size as a lot of compact cameras, not to mention the camera-centric cameras Samsung Galaxy. We expect low-light performance to be a good deal better Xperia z. and even in good lighting will be able to make much more in detail. In theory at least.
And the Xperia Z has an upgraded processor
An update more predictable is the processor speed. the Xperia Z has a Snapdragon chip S4 Pro, where the Xperia Z1 uses the Snapdragon chipset 800 much more recently.
It's quad-core chip, but both the velocity and power for each core clock is much better in Xperia Z1. The Snapdragon's 4 uses baseline Krait core clocked at 1.5 GHz Snapdragon chipset, while the Xperia's 800 Z1 uses the most advanced 400 Krait core clocked at 2.3 GHz.
There's really no contest and – just as important – the Xperia Z1 has a better GPU, using the chip Adreno 330, rather than the 320 Adreno one. Is a slightly faster processor.
Verdict
The Sony Xperia Z1 trades away some of the things that Sony boasted so much when the original launched Xperia Z. No longer shockingly thin or lightweight, but in many other respects is a much better phone. Looks and feels more expensive camera hardware is really impressive and the processor was upgraded to the type used by the new Xperia Z Ultra. You probably saw this coming – but it is the phone Xperia Z really should have been.
