Verdict
Sony has made some significant upgrades to the XZ2 from the XZ1, but much of it is playing catch up to current flagships. While it provides excellent performance, a good display, and a decent camera, it has no standout features to distinguish it from its competitors.

- Smooth performance
- IP 65/68 waterproofing
What's bad

While it might not provide the best camera on the market, the Sony Xperia XZ3 combines a range of capable features into one stylish bundle.

- Colorful, Bright Display
- Decent battery life
- IP68 water resistant
What's bad
- Low contrast 1080p LCD panel

Verdict
The Sony Xperia XZ1 is a good phone, but it lacks any eye-popping features and, for the price, only offers a Full HD display and a fairly dated design.

If you don’t mind Sony’s design choices, the XA2 is one of their strongest mid-tier phones yet. While it doesn’t excel at any one thing, it offers decent battery life, solid performance, and a detailed -- albeit slow launching -- camera at a respectable price.
