Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Waterproof Smartphone Unlocked 5-inch 16 GB 20.7 MP Camera Android 4.4 KitKat Black (Electronics)

Customer Review

A little tired, ultimately, of "large format" 5-inch phones and more every day because it is not always practical in the jean pocket to sit on the subway, running to catch his train etc ... But until then, have a smaller smartphone meant balked on the power of the phone.
Sony made the opposite bet, compact and powerful. Let's see what happens!

- When he was in his hands, he took a very similar design to the Xperia Z1, smaller but thicker. This loss of sharpness delivers more solid feel and above all more grip "to" was less like he will slip from our hands. The message notification LED, Missed Call is both elegant and most visible!
The big button to turn on and off your phone's beautiful, but at first you tend to press it when we want to adjust the volume ... a habit to but not very nice at first. Besides the finishes are excellent, and Sony makes some improvements over the Z to open the cover to recharge is very simple to open and close and the jack is no longer behind a cover (without losing resistance water).

- The screen offers made and very pleasant colors we enjoy looking at it. The definition is excellent, and the touchscreen reacts to the finger and eye. In addition it has a glove mode, practice winter!

- In terms of power, the Snapdragon 800 (4 cores) and 2GB of ram gives the phone a fluidity at the top, and what to see in the coming time. The Sony interface is unobtrusive and brings some more (I love the album applications and Walkman). My phone is running (after updating) running Android 4.4 Kit Kat (recently under 14.3.A.0.757 build) and I found no bugs or crashes.
I love drawing application that sends small drawings directly from the mail. Cute and devilishly effective. A small detail that I like!

- The camera takes snapshots qualities in daylight, for me it replaces the carefree compact cameras within 150 by cons when the brightness down photos lose quality. An ideal camera for everyday pictures. By cons, a pity that the button is a bit small, a little wider would have been ideal.

- Level autonomy, that is fine too. On days when he turns little I can hold 3/4 carefree days, and intensive use (Internet, SMS, call) I would usually 2 days.

- The internal storage can be expanded to 16GB via micro SD card (convenient and cheap).

- Water resistance (IP 55 and IP 58 waterproof) is a very nice addition to the accidents of everyday life, storm, spilled drink, dip the toilet ...

I am very satisfied overall, by cons it is a phone which for me is very clearly aimed at an audience that seeks power in a small size because its price is higher than the "mini" other brands that they lose much power. It's up to you. Feel free to read other reviews before seeing if it suits you.
