Sony Xperia XZ
At $700, the Sony Xperia XZ is priced like a flagship phone, but it can't match the premium experience of devices like the Samsung Galaxy S7. It lacks a fingerprint sensor, has a lower-resolution display, and mediocre battery life. The unlocked Galaxy S7 is a better pick all around.
Pros:
- Fast performance
- Solid camera
- Strong network connectivity
- Waterproof
Cons:
- Overheating issues in testing
- Mediocre battery life
- No fingerprint scanner
- Heavy UI layer

The Sony Xperia XZ offers very good performance, battery life and cameras, along with waterproofing. For those buying outright, there's a good case for choosing this phone over the Galaxy S7 but on a plan your choice is limited to Telstra.

Sony Xperia XZ
The Sony Xperia XZ is the last of 2016's top Android phones. 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. Like all £500-plus phones, it's good. Of course it is.
Pros:
- Improved ergonomics
- Bold screen
- Water resistant
Cons:
- Disappointing camera
- Expensive
- Conservative improvements

Sony Xperia XZ
Sony needs to get it together. I've reviewed its phones -- from the top of the line down to the most basic -- for several years now, and I hate to see the Xperia family decline. Hard truth: It just can't keep up with its competitors. Take this "flagship" Xperia XZ, for example.
Pros:
- Sony's Xperia XZ looks good
- it won't die when you spill your drink on it and its bold screen makes mobile games look great
Cons:
- Its battery life doesn't impress, and nor does the camera
- Its full HD display isn't as high resolution as most of its rivals

This is undoubtedly the phone that should have kicked off the X-rated rebrand of Sony's dwindling smartphone family. With a premium look and feel that revitalises a tired design, a solid, if unspectacular camera and enough satisfying features to make up for the irrelevant ones, the Xperia XZ would...

Pros:
- Great video camera
- HD wireless audio
- Waterproof
Cons:
- Last-gen phone
- Still too many blurry camera shots
- Battery struggles for one day
- Chunky-looking

Sony Xperia XZ Review: Loaded to the brim... with compromise
Sony has not exactly been hitting sixes with every flagship smartphone launch. The Xperia Z3+ was plagued with heating issues, while the Xperia Z5 just managed to keep its head up with last year's flagships.

Xperia XZ Review: Battery and Display Impress, Camera Does Not
Boasting 5-axis image stabilization along with a 23-megapixel rear camera capable of capturing 4K video, Sony's $699 Xperia XZ clearly hopes to unseat the Galaxy S7 Edge and the iPhone 7 Plus as the camera phone champ.
Pros:
- Bright display
- Comfortable grip
- Solid image stabilization on videos
- Impressive battery life
Cons:
- Doesn't live up to blur-free promise
- Photos shot in daylight appear too bright
- Distorted color in low-light shots
