Overall Conclusion

Just a quick glance at the Xperia Z1 you will know that this new Sony flagship is a premium device. With glass on both front and back and a piece of aluminium wrapped around the edges, this Xperia Z1 is truly gorgeous and feels solid holding it on the hand. The dust and water resistant feature provides a certain degree of ruggedness and it means you can actually take photos and videos underwater.

The physical two-way shutter button and combined with the angular shape of the device makes the Xperia Z1 feels like a compact camera when taking pictures than other smartphones we’ve seen in the market. A long-press of the shutter button gives you quick access to the camera app so that you could capture the decisive moment.

Nevertheless, the Sony Xperia Z1’s reliable exposure and decent image quality in its 8MP mode make it an ideal point-and-shoot smartphone for those users who prefer all-automatic shooting. Thanks to its physical shutter button, quick camera access and angular, “camera-friendly” shape it’s one of the awesome smartphone cameras.
