Sony's newest new flagship is what it should have launched three months ago

Just over three months ago we slammed Sony's latest flagship phone, the Xperia X Performance , for being one of the most disappointing products that Sony had made in years. It was such a mediocre effort (at a premium price) that even Sony's own previous range outclassed it.
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

Xperia XZ

Had it around a week now, the processors and camera are amazing but what comes with those things is an average battery life, just about makes it through the day on normal use! Great phone, a little pricey but definitely worth getting if you are wanting a brilliant camera!

With the Xperia XZ, Sony has managed to deliver a pretty good smartphone, but not a great one. It has a great screen, fast rear-camera autofocus, is water resistant (if you don't forget to close the ports) and delivers smooth performance at an all-day-long battery life.
