![]() Xperia Z (and XZ) water resistance relies on tiny little rubber seals, which are prone to wear, and are useless if they’re not perfectly in place.89% RECENZIA Sony Xperia XZ Premium: 750 € luxusu, úžasu a mierneho sklamania Source: Android Portal SK→EN version Single Review, online available, Very Long, Date: There’s no magic behind why previous Sony phones have failed either. Abuse and improper use of device will invalidate warranty.”ĭon’t be silly, in other words. “You should not put the device completely underwater or expose it to seawater, salt water, chlorinated water, or liquids such as drinks. After a few too many stories of “waterproof” Sony Xperia phones being killed by water, Sony has sensibly stepped back from this feature, if only in its wording. However, doing so invalidates your warranty. A single flap on the side covers the tray that holds the SIM and microSD card, and it’s certified to IP65/68, meaning it can withstand being submerged in water at a depth of more than 1m. The Sony Xperia XZ is water resistant too. But it is a good fingerprint scanner regardless. It’s quick enough to feel only slightly slower than pressing a scannerless power button, but I find rear- and front-mounted scanners work a bit better for quick unlocking, perhaps because a more indented style guides you towards the right area more quickly. This gets you the traditional feel of a side-mounted power button, but with finger security added for good measure. It sits right under the power button – the big grey oval-shaped blob on the side. While Apple and Samsung put their scanners on the front, and Huawei/Honor on the back, the Sony Xperia XZ has a finger scanner on the side. The other bit of Sony styling that’s a little different from the rest is the placement of the fingerprint scanner. Still, if you’re going to spend this much money on a phone, it’s a good idea to have a feel of the main contenders in person if you can. This phone feels large for its 5.2-inch screen size, but it’s a definite ergonomic improvement over the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, which had a sharp ridge running along its back. I prefer the feel of the more tapered OnePlus 3 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. There are no sharp edges to ruin the feel, and all the parts are perfectly colour-matched. Sony has styled out this seam-heavy design perfectly, though. They cover the top and bottom edges, and the little strip towards the bottom of the back. Its back panel is one piece, while the sides are another. The Xperia XZ isn’t made of a single piece of machined aluminium like an iPhone, though. It’s a more practical design than that of the old Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z5, which have glass backs – yet another pane to shatter. This time around you get a metal back, metal sides and ever-so-slightly curved 2.5D glass on the front. The Xperia XZ continues Sony’s recent trend of softening this style. ![]() Early Xperia Zs were rectangular monoliths that looked great in promo videos, but tended to feel a bit bigger and thicker than they actually were. The Z models began with a bold and boxy design. The Sony Xperia XZ is an Xperia Z-series in all but name. This is a phone for Sony fans, or those tired of iPhones and their Korean rivals. The Sony Xperia XZ isn’t as accomplished as the best Samsungs and doesn’t make enough improvements over the Sony Xperia Z5, particularly with its camera. ![]() ![]() But the question is whether it’s good enough to compete with the older 2016 Android kings, some of which are already cheaper than they were at launch. 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. The Sony Xperia XZ is the last of 2016’s top Android phones.
