The Xperia Z1 is at the top of the smartphone camera pile with a 20-megapixel sensor, the same area as a compact camera. The f2.0 lens is housed in a waterproof body that is large by smartphone standards, bigger even than the Nokia 1020. The 12.5cm display has a very high 441ppi resolution. There is 16GB of internal memory and a microSD slot for an additional 64GB. Construction is elegant, with...

Sony's Xperia Z was quite a looker, but its plastic body left us wanting something a bit more robust. This time around, Sony's upped the build quality with a solid aluminium and glass design that's reminiscent of the iPhone 4. The Z1 is still extremely slim, at just 8.5mm thick. It's also fairly weighty at 169g, which makes it feel like a premium piece of kit, and puts the likes of the plastic Sa...
As a phone, there's not a lot to fault the Z1 on. It's a top-notch piece of kit with a premium feel that screams quality. The one caveat, however, is its camera. Sony has armed the Z1 with a 20.7-megapixel shooter, backed up by the Exmor light sensor borrowed from the company's own range of cameras. While it's certainly a fine snapper, it's not perfect. There are plenty of features and options av...
