Good guy Sony sticking to a functional design and not following the trend of bezel-less screens. I prefer Sony displays because bezels give you a functional and comfortable place to grip the phone better without pressing the screen by accident. They are also better for cases, screen protectors fit better and they are overall more resistant to shattering when dropped. Plus it allows Sony to add two front facing speakers which are always the best option.
So 52 persons liked this comment.. That's just silly rambling by people who just don't like other brands. LG G6 has bezels. Those are practical. What Sony is doing here is creating hideous handsets. Such huge bezels and then on screen keys to take up more space.. There will come a time when the entire front of phones will be screens. What will be said then? All through the video, not once did he grip any of the bezels and that is because people use their phones by holding onto the sides..
This is best design, thats why they are sticking to it in their upcoming phones, only 1 thing i want that sony should focus on reducing the bezels of the phone , otherwise everything is best , sony is best
can i transfer all my INSTALLED apps from a previous phone to another without using any online tools like googledrive or whatever it is? i mean OFFLINE
Maikeru Dabittsu yes exactly. May be recumbo has done something with it ! Also it is more even brighter also I mean it's white instead of red . Not like s8 red tint display.....
Japanese design is not just for aesthetics a drop test showdown will obliterate the glass near note 8's corners while Xperia will only get scuffs (that is why cars have bumpers) S8's repairs are stacking up in Service Centers dubbed as the most frequently damaged phone when dropped of 2017 design is no different on the Note 8 .
Just came here for a short speaker test. Glad not to be disappointed. Just to add a note, though, you have forgotten to test the speakers with S-Force Front Surround turned on in the settings. And certainly waiting impatiently for camera samples especially in low light.
Hi-Res audio files with ClearAudio+ enabled, give better sound quality to the external speakers. But I use manual equalizer settings when I pair the headphones though.
Rounding the sides is not the way to go. More chances of the phone slipping out of your hand. Unfortunately Sony is following the rest of the pathetic pack.
Diogo Silva actually some feature on latest android version are samsung inspired, the split screen, video on top, the notif bar now use white color and etc
Hi there Recombu, I really like your video and review style. Instantly hit the subscribe button since first time I watched your review. But for me, whose English is not my primary language, sometimes it's hard to hear and understand what you said. Just one request from me, can you please add subtitles for your video? I mean English caption. I think it will be very good and enjoy more if I can understand all you said. Thank you very much.
I bought s8 plus and I'll trade it any day for this phone the bezel bullshit is bullshit doesn't make sense and I haven't used the edge screen yet I can't even put screen protector on it or case it sucks and functions bad spealres garbage call quality garbage just screen I rather have some bezeels and great features that's why Apple stick with bezel too to try to make the quality of parts a bit better less bezel less space to make the parts better if all phone is thin and edge then how your gonna fit parts
People should stop crying about bezels... Its a BEAST phone...go and check xz premium vs s8 speed test or with other high end flagship...sony is getting stand out feature in camera unlike other companies
Eversince the world begun, I mean Sony introduced z1 til now, I really fell inlove with their design it is soooooooo elegant classy and fucking masculine! I love edgyss!!! I cnt transfr to other phones as long as Sony is still there! Theyre still my top 1
@terrifying android eyes Yeah I've figured it out, today I lost my phone though, it doesn't feel very good. I don't have a plan about the money and buying a new one yet.
im always a sony fan... updates are fast phone has a very good camera... for those who are complaining about the bezels and the design havent change much, well look as newly release iphone 8 and 8 plus......
Sad....this time sony even got a camera bump in XZ1...and speaker position is unbalanced for me i like better the position of z2 or Z5 premium...and hope to tear up some top and bot bezel with this boxy smart design concept....it would be awesome....
The problem is it looks the same as my 2year old z5 what also looks like my 4 year old z1.dont get me wrong there built like tanks but there nothing new to make me want a new contract
I had a Sony Xperia Z3, within 3 months brand new out of the box, and using it normally and not to excess, it got this ugly brown screen burn up the entire left side of the screen. A month after that the glass on the front started to come loose due to the phone overheating, through normal use. A month later the glass was so loose you could see inside the phone, at which point half the screen became dead rendering the phone useless. Nice looking phone, laughable, and cheap build quality. Gone back to Samsung and will never touch anything made by Sony ever again. And what happened to me is a common problem, just do a bit of Googling.
Hi Chris. Could you cover a little bit of 3D Scanning and it's printing services when you get in depth review out?? Will you test and review Compact version as well??
It's really nice that sony doesn't make bezel less smartphone, but i really don't like these big bezels on top and bottom, they need to make it a little bit smaller like the xz1 compact on top, just on top and bottom, maybe next time sony^^
The set doesn't include an earphone? I was trying to get my hands on the original earphone for this phone but I could never seem to find the earphone specifically for this line
winvsdroid they have a lot of customization u can change small icons, over 100s of themes in play store, u can change grid like 5x4 5x5 or more, u can change transitions like cube, windmill. U can enhance the screen when watching yt and enhance the sound by your liking, u can also download an icon pack and apply them on ur sony phone without a launcher.

Liam Ashton really bezel are good for holding are practical use.

g6 almost none bezel dude if u hold landscape mode u would touch the screen. XZ1 more comfortable to use
I really like this phone and may consider the XZ1 Compact as my next phone.
The phone looks very beautiful when its turned off.
Can you put the phone just right opposite the camera? The screen is so warm and ugly yellow from this side angle.
Just a suggestion ,put your phone nearer to the camera , we can see clearly
nice hand review. can't see the phone screen when it is a mile away at an angle while you are moving it like a mad man
This is best design, thats why they are sticking to it in their upcoming phones, only 1 thing i want that sony should focus on reducing the bezels of the phone , otherwise everything is best , sony is best
Really sick with the Iphone,perhaps the compact can really make my wish
Really fast phone :0
Beautiful well built.
Sony xperia xz 1 is best
And about camera its past taking pic
can i transfer all my INSTALLED apps from a previous phone to another without using any online tools like googledrive or whatever it is? i mean OFFLINE
Do a better camera angle, seriously I didn't see anything on that screen 😔
who using this phone 2021? Like
Why the screen is red ?? Whole video is red
Osama Qureshi that would make sense because in the other videos I've seen the screen is not red and extremely bright
Maikeru Dabittsu yes exactly. May be recumbo has done something with it !
Also it is more even brighter also I mean it's white instead of red . Not like s8 red tint display.....
😍❤
Can you please talk slower, so its better to hear what your say.
And its super enoying when your recording video from the side....
Why do you keep rubbing the back

With ClearAudio+ it's louder
Anto Anđić Sometimes ClearAudio+ doesn't aid the music quality at all tho.
Hi-Res audio files with ClearAudio+ enabled, give better sound quality to the external speakers. But I use manual equalizer settings when I pair the headphones though.
Rounding the sides is not the way to go. More chances of the phone slipping out of your hand.

Really impressive how it ships with oreo. I miss using my xperia. Now im using GS8....
Stop being stupid, people asked google to do it... Everyone knows that Samsung copies everything from Google...
Diogo Silva actually some feature on latest android version are samsung inspired, the split screen, video on top, the notif bar now use white color and etc
I guess we are lucky that Google didn't copy Samsungs lazy update policy.
In black this phone looks too sexy
Camra kesa ha

This is going to be my next phone! Cannot wait until the 22nd!
Sony is as usual... Always the Best 👌
I have the Premium, and now I wish I had the this too.
People should stop crying about bezels... Its a BEAST phone...go and check xz premium vs s8 speed test or with other high end flagship...sony is getting stand out feature in camera unlike other companies
*about body, Sony is unbeaten by other smartphones*
good choice on the metal unibody design, the plastic edges on my XZ are picking up scratches after 6 months of use.
Eversince the world begun, I mean Sony introduced z1 til now, I really fell inlove with their design it is soooooooo elegant classy and fucking masculine! I love edgyss!!! I cnt transfr to other phones as long as Sony is still there! Theyre still my top 1
ロケトマン 3004 yes. Love it!
i agree!!!! i like the box look rather than these curved corners
Yes guys 😊 I remember holding Samsung gs8. Its ok but I dont like the way its in my hand. I mean I dont feel premium 😁
2019 and it works like bought today. King.
PlayStation remote you’ll have to download from play store
Is that true that iPhone 6s has 12 MP picture quality and this one has just 2MP?
@terrifying android eyes Yeah I've figured it out, today I lost my phone though, it doesn't feel very good. I don't have a plan about the money and buying a new one yet.

Sony camera is the best
The best review I have seen for this device so far ! keep focusing on UI in everyphone you review , thanks ^_^
The problem is it looks the same as my 2year old z5 what also looks like my 4 year old z1.dont get me wrong there built like tanks but there nothing new to make me want a new contract
how about the hardware boy, who cares about useless aesthetics
so it's basically a xz premium compact.
Awesome
Love the fingerprint
This phone was my ex until we reunited. Got it again🥰
Can you guys confirm if XZ1 and XZ1 Compact has new static wallpapers, live wallpapers, and themes?
Of course they do
Funny how everyone demonstrates fast CPU with swiping left and right on the homescreen :) Surely a Snapdragon 435 do it just as quick
I had a Sony Xperia Z3, within 3 months brand new out of the box, and using it normally and not to excess, it got this ugly brown screen burn up the entire left side of the screen.

Hi Chris. Could you cover a little bit of 3D Scanning and it's printing services when you get in depth review out?? Will you test and review Compact version as well??
Why the fuck is the display so warm
It's really nice that sony doesn't make bezel less smartphone, but i really don't like these big bezels on top and bottom, they need to make it a little bit smaller like the xz1 compact on top, just on top and bottom, maybe next time sony^^
I just love Sony wow
Hi guys how much is XZ1 COMPACT in EUROPE DOLLARS?
Michael Adel Europe use Euro
The set doesn't include an earphone? I was trying to get my hands on the original earphone for this phone but I could never seem to find the earphone specifically for this line
Las time i have sony phone is xperia z1...and i sold it after a month...and i see after all these years viewing angle is still awfull...yuck
White balance on this video is off.
One of the best until today...
Can you do an updated review of the Xperia XZ? It's price has dropped considerably and I want to buy it.
that's what Peter Dinklage sounds when he's reviewing phones (^^) thanks anyway! that was helpful!
The device have " Ambient Display " ?
It should be in Display setting " down down down "
Midnight blue color??..
Appears to be a good phone but it's just a handful of stress induction just doesn't work properly
Why the screen looks yellowish during the whole video ? Is it your video post process or fault of the phone ?
square phones ftw :3
2022 and still any issue.
Beast
is XZ1C has this louder stereo speaker? I dont mind with 720p resolution
Does the XZ1 have HDR CAMERA SUPPORT?
yes, and an HDR screen support
Does the Sony Xperia XZ1 comes with the double top feature installed ?
qualcomm quick charge 3.0 charger inside or standard power charger?
looks gorgeous until you turn on the phone. those bezels are a deal breaker
Can I edit the app drawer similar to stock android, like swipe up to open it?
Sony, innovate your design even a little, Sony where is earphones !!!!!
Please tell more about camera settings
For example max iso, max shutter speed
Are you interested in doing a review for Wenwen Smart Jewelry pls?
does it still has the "small app" feature ?? (like in Z series family)
i think that your unit display have a yellow hue hope not the final product
pengen nyoba pake sony lagi, terakhir pake itu sony ericsson w series.
Amazing good.... 👍👍
Anyone knows if XZP will get the new 3d mapping tech through android 8.0 update? or will it be exclusive only for XZ1 and future phones?
Ken Yap XZP will get it soon as well.
wth is happen with that copper gold screen?
Love your British accent and sound.
is it me or is this display very yellowish ?
Is there a lot of customization or is it mostly stock Android?
winvsdroid Mostly stock
Dario Lindner does Sony not use customization like Samsung/lg?
winvsdroid they have a lot of customization u can change small icons, over 100s of themes in play store, u can change grid like 5x4 5x5 or more, u can change transitions like cube, windmill. U can enhance the screen when watching yt and enhance the sound by your liking, u can also download an icon pack and apply them on ur sony phone without a launcher.
Asprob 25 I see.thanks
