Pros Cons The first phone I ever owned was the Sony Ericsson W700i, which offered impressive music playback capabilities. That was an era when Sony was known for its audio and imaging prowess with the W and K Cybershot series, respectively. A lot has changed since then – for Sony as a brand, and the mobile phone landscape as well. Instead of boring you with history however, I’ll come straight to the device I’ll be talking about today – the ( ) – the brand’s latest offering in the Indian market. While it might not be correct to refer to it as the flagship, considering its sibling, the ( ) brings forth mouth-watering specs such as a Snapdragon 835, Gigabit-class speeds, and a 4K HDR display, the XZs also has some impressive hardware features and its price tag of Rs 49,999 brings it in flagship territory. So can it compete with the likes of the Google Pixel, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the recently-launched Galaxy S8? I’ve been using the phone since past few weeks to find an answer to that. Here’s what I think. Table of Contents The first time I held the Sony Xperia XZs in my hands, it felt extremely familiar… the design isn’t much significantly from the previous high-end offerings from the Japanese giant. In fact, it looks almost exactly the same as its immediate predecessor, the ( ), and not too different from the previous phones in the Xperia Z series either. While the XZs’ body might seem plastic-y, it’s actually metal, a proprietary aluminium alloy dubbed as ALKALEIDO. At the front, the display panel acts as the centrepiece, with the earpiece, secondary camera, and Sony branding above it. Below the screen, lies the speaker grille. The navigation keys are available as software overlays. Even though the Xperia XZs is built around a compact 5.2-inch display, it has wide bezels on the top and bottom, which is a downer for me. The button and port placement is also the same as what you’d find on Sony devices. The left edge hides the tray with the SIM slot and the microSD card slot, making it easy to access. Strangely though, the Sony Xperia XZs restarts every time you pull the tray out, even if the SIM isn’t changed. Towards the right, you’ll find the power button that also functions as a fingerprint reader, followed by the volume rocker and the camera shutter button. The fingerprint scanner on the right spine works well for unlocking the phone, but as I had mentioned in my , one needs to add different permutations and combinations for scanning fingers since you could hold the phone using either the left or right hand. That said, the authentication is quick and accurate, although due to its narrow size, at times, it fails to detect fingerprints. Additionally, I find it extremely difficult to reach the volume buttons, and would have preferred them to be placed either higher or on the left spine. The hardware shutter key, without a doubt, is quite useful for accessing the camera instantly along with focussing on the object. The back panel of the Sony Xperia XZs features matte finish, which might not be as pleasing as the glass finish on the XZ Premium, but it provides good grip. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s able to keep smudges at bay. The rear is also you’ll find the main camera sensor, which protrudes slightly and is accompanied by the LED flash and laser autofocus module. Talking about Xperia XZs’ display, the 5.2-inch IPS panel outputs 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, which is odd considering that 2K resolution has become the norm for smartphones in this price range. The display however, is plenty sharp and vivid too with good contrast. The viewing angles are quite good, and the brightness levels are also adequate enough for outdoor conditions. I really like the glove mode feature on the Sony phones, which makes the touchscreen extra sensitive. If you don’t like the colour reproduction, then you can change the image enhancement mode or even tweak the white balance. Overall, I feel that the design of the Sony Xperia XZs is neither good nor bad. While it’s surely compact and offers a good in-hand feel, it doesn’t push the envelope as such, considering nowadays manufacturers are trying to innovate with bezel-less displays and construction materials. That said, it’s great to see the company continuing with dust- and water-proofing of its smartphones, with the IP 68 rating. Sony smartphones have never been known for their custom interface, yet the electronics giant has continued to skin the Android OS with its proprietary layer on top. The Sony Xperia XZs ships with the latest iteration of Google’s OS, i.e. Android 7.1.1 Nougat and even comes with Google Assistant, which can be brought to life by long-pressing the home button. The lock screen is simple, while the home screen also gets a dedicated page for Google Now. There’s a dedicated app drawer – which isn’t available on most smartphones nowadays – and it also has a panel towards the left which lets you search for apps, shows the recently-accessed titles along with some app recommendations. Like its predecessors, I like the ability to sort the apps alphabetically, by name or date, or on the basis of frequency. The Xperia XZs has some bloatware as well, with a slew of preloaded apps such as , along with some titles from Sony itself like and . Sadly, they can’t be uninstalled. The phone also comes with demo versions of a few games likes and preinstalled, which is odd considering they’re freely downloadable. While the Sony Xperia XZs seems to be largely similar to the Xperia XZ till now, the picture changes (pun intended) when we move to the camera section. In fact, I feel that with the phone, the brand is revisiting the K series of yesteryears as the Xperia XZs features a memory-stacked Exmor RS sensor, which was first with its Cybershot RX100 IV and RX 10 II cameras. While the resolution is lowered (19MP vs 23MP on the Xperia XZ), the Xperia XZs’ camera comes with a number of tricks, such as the ability to capture action shots even before one clicks the shutter button (dubbed Predictive Capture, which detects motion automatically and clicks up to four photos before you press the shutter button) or the option to capture super slow-motion videos at 960fps. All this is possible due to the DRAM, which allows the camera to have a buffer memory of its own, and that’s why Sony is referring to it as Motion Eye camera. It can also focus on the subject quickly, thanks to the predictive autofocus mechanism. The camera UI is the same as other Sony smartphones, and in the vertical mode, the shutter button takes centerstage at the bottom and is accompanied by the settings menu and preview for previous captures. Up top, you get the option to toggle the flash and switch to the front camera, along with the ability to go to the manual mode or video or enable various camera apps. The default mode is the superior auto mode which automatically detects the best settings for capturing a photo depending upon the scene, though you can tweak things such as shutter speed, manual focus, etc. with the manual mode. So the camera specs are impressive, what about the image quality? They’re gorgeous as well – full of detail and vibrant colours. The Sony Xperia XZs does complete justice to different scenarios, be it landscape imagery or close-ups. Thanks to the f/1.9 aperture, you can also achieve bokeh effects in some cases. The HDR effect isn’t available up front and you need to go to the manual mode to enable it, although I didn’t feel the need for it. The camera sensor also offers good low-light capabilities, and the output isn’t grainy. The 13-meg camera at the front is able to capture good selfies in daylight conditions. However, it lacks a screen-based or LED flash to provide illumination in poorly-lit environments. Here are a few camera samples of the XZs for your viewing pleasure. While it took me some time to figure out how to capture 960fps slow-mo video from the Xperia XZs, the results blew my mind when I actually shot a few. Once you enter the video mode, you’ll see a separate button to enable the slow-mo capture, though it records for just two seconds in 960fps, which means you need to tap it again to get more footage. The 960fps video is shot in 720p and works well when you use it at the right moment. For normal videos, the device is quite capable and while it lacks OIS, it does come with electronic stabilisation, which the company calls SteadyShot. In sum, the Xperia XZs offers markedly improved photographs over its predecessor. But if you talk about the competition in the form of Samsung’s Galaxy flagships, Apple iPhones or Google’s Pixel duo, then it feels a couple of steps behind. The Snapdragon 820 from Qualcomm was the chipset of choice for phone makers in 2016, but Sony has chosen it for this year’s high-end offering. This is strange considering that the SD821, released towards the end of last year, offers a marginal performance boost along with support for VR with Daydream. Don’t get me wrong, the Sony Xperia XZs is not a slouch in terms of performance, and there were no lags whatsoever during my time with it. Even multitasking was a breeze thanks to 4 gigs of RAM. The graphics department is taken care of by an Adreno 510 GPU and gaming was an enjoyable experience, be it racing in or killing zombies in . Sadly however, Sony hasn’t been able to curtail the heating issues which have plagued its Xperia Z series (and later the Xperia X). While the device doesn’t become unbearably hot, the warmth at the back is noticeable. The same problem exists while using the camera for long durations as well, which results in shutting down of the app. For storage, the Xperia XZs comes with 64GB of memory on board, which is a welcome upgrade from its previous iteration. The storage can also be topped up further with the use of a microSD card of up to 256GB. Fuelling up the Sony Xperia XZs is a 2,950mAh embedded battery. The handset offers some battery enhancing modes such as STAMINA and Ultra STAMINA mode, and they come in handy, considering the backup delivered by the phone is average at best. Even though it was able to play an HD video on loop for 11 hours and 30 minutes as part of the battery test, it barely manages to last an entire working day. Charged at 100 percent at 8 in the morning, it was hardly able to continue till 8 in the evening after heavy usage of 4G, GPS navigation, few calls, watching videos and around 20 to 25 minutes of gaming. In terms of the screen-on time, we usually got around three to three and a half hours, which is just about average. Thankfully, you get fast charging capabilities with the bundled Qnovo adaptive charger. The smartphone would be a treat for the ears of audiophiles too, as it comes packed with several audio-centric features. With DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement), the Xperia XZs enhances the sound quality even if the tracks aren’t Hi-res, while LDAC offers better experience while listening over Bluetooth. If you think about it, the Sony Xperia XZs is exactly same as the Xperia XZ with the only change being the new Motion Eye camera and increase of RAM capacity. But this is because the Japanese brand is continuing with its strategy of two flagships a year, which makes it almost impossible to bring revolutionary changes every time. While the Xperia XZs is a loaded smartphone, what makes its case difficult is the fact that hardware-wise, you could get the Snapdragon 820 and 4GB RAM combination on phones priced as low as Rs 14,999 (on the ). And, if you consider the asking price of the XZs, then it’s up against the formidable compact flagships such as the ( ) and ( ), with the former offering a 2K panel and an attractive design, while the latter features SD821 along with the purest and latest build of Android. You can also opt for the XZs’ predecessor, the Xperia XZ, which is now available at a more attractive price point thanks to price cuts. The recently-launched ( ) and ( ) also seem quite promising, and are easy to handle even with their phablet-sized displays. Even if I keep the pricing aside, the Xperia XZs comes off as a mixed bag. Its design is nothing out of the box, the display resolution is standard, and the battery barely manages to last an entire working day. I certainly like the slow-motion capabilities in the palm of my hand and Predictive Capture is useful in some situations, but I’m not sure if that alone warrants its purchase. In fact, if you are after a Sony phone, then my suggestion would be to wait for its successor, as the company can be expected to offer better specs along with the Motion Eye camera. vs vs, isUpcoming=false, productName=Sony Xperia XZs, isBestSelling=null, productSKU=P761, productPrice=29990.0, productTaxAmount=0.0, currency=INR, productLaunchDate=Tue Apr 11 18:30:00 UTC 2017, productExpiryDate=null, productExpertRating=0.0, productDescription=null, productShortDescription=Black, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB Storage, productImages=[Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/images/Design/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-2.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-2.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/images/Design/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-3.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-3.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/images/Design/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-4.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-4.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/images/Design/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-5.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-5.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null)], hqImages=[Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/hqImage/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-hres-1.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-1.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/hqImage/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-hres-2.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-1.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/hqImage/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-hres-3.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-1.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/hqImage/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-hres-4.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-1.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/hqImage/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-hres-5.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-1.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null)], productVidoes=[Video(url=https://catalog-management.s3.amazonaws.com/htmobile3/P761/videos/sony-xperia-xzs-1.mp4, caption=null, alternateText=null, videoCredit=null), Video(url= https://catalog-management.s3.amazonaws.com/htmobile3/P761/videos/sony-xperia-xzs-2.mp4, caption=null, alternateText=null, videoCredit=null)], titleSEO=Sony Xperia XZs Price in India, Full Specs, Reviews, Comparison (30, September, 2023), textSEO=null, keywordSEO=Sony Xperia XZs, Sony Xperia XZs Price, Sony Xperia XZs Price in India, Sony Xperia XZs Specifications, Sony Xperia XZs specs, Sony Xperia XZs release date, Sony Xperia XZs launch, Sony Xperia XZs features, Sony Xperia XZs price in India2023 , Sony Xperia XZs review,Sony Xperia XZs videos, Sony Xperia XZs photos, Sony Xperia XZs News, Sony Xperia XZs alternative, descriptionSEO=Sony Xperia XZs online at best price of Rs. 29990.0 in India.

“Don’t go by its size, the Z1 Compact offers a power-packed performance in a pocketable form-factor”
Three years ago when Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note – a device with large 5.3-inch display, many raised their collective brows on its form-factor and unwieldiness. However, the device sold like hot cakes and consumers loved the idea of a phone which could double up as a tablet, giving birth to the term phablet . Other vendors (with the notable exception of Apple) also spotted this opportunity and started cashing in on the trend. This has resulted in a market where many smartphones feature screen sizes of 5-inches and more. Though many people love the utility of large displays, there are others who still love the comfort offered by smaller devices. Sadly for such users, there aren’t many choices left in the market now, especially those that offer top-of-the-line specs. This means that they either have to sacrifice comfort by opting for huge devices boasting powerful hardware, or compromise on desired specs by purchasing compact devices. Sony has chosen to cater to such consumers with the launch of its latest device, the Xperia Z1 Compact. Unlike the Mini editions of flagships from other manufacturers, the Z1 Compact shares a lot with its bigger sibling, the Xperia Z1. We may have upped your expectations from the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact , but let’s see whether it manages to fulfill them.

Handy proportions and Sony’s signature design
Sony started its flagship smartphone range with the launch of the Xperia Z last year. The company used what it calls its OmniBalance design ethos for the smartphone, flaunting a unibody construction using a combination of plastic and glass. Additionally, the smartphone has a shiny aluminium button on the right. The same design aesthetics are followed by the Xperia Z1 Compact. The front is dominated by the 4.3-inch display, but you won’t find any hardware keys since the device has virtual navigation buttons. Towards the top of the display, there’s a Sony logo and the front-facing camera, along with proximity and ambient light sensors. What we really appreciated was the presence of an elongated notification LED at the top making sure you never miss out on any notifications easily, instead of a tiny LED light found in most devices.
The sides of the device are made using aluminium. The left side of the phone is home to all ports, including the micro-USB charging port, a microSD slot and a micro-SIM slot. At this point, it’s important to note that just like all the top-end Xperia devices, the Z1 Compact boasts of dust- and water-resistance capabilities as it’s IP58 rated. For this purpose, all ports are protected by covers. However, the port covers seem like they can be separated from the device with extended usage. Also, the SIM needs to be placed inside a plastic tray available in the micro-SIM slot, which is confusing to figure out at first. That apart, the tray is flimsy and utmost care should be taken to avoid breaking it. All the keys are available on the right of the device, including the aluminium power button, the volume rocker and a dedicated camera key. The headphone socket (completely open, despite the device being waterproof) is at the top, and the bottom of the smartphone has a speaker grille spanning almost the entire width of the device. This placement becomes problematic when using the handset for gaming, as the user’s hand rests upon it… muffling the sound in the process.
The back of device is entirely glass, making it prone to fingerprints and smudges. It houses the main camera and an LED flash along with Sony and Xperia branding. Here’s a fun fact – if you look at the black variant of the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact from a distance and the display is off, you won’t be able to tell the difference between the front and the back. The reason is that the all-glass look at the front and the rear are equally reflective. It may also be because of the monoblock design of the Xperia Z1 Compact. All in all, the handset stays true to its name and compact enough to fit easily in one hand. You won’t even feel the slightest discomfort while typing with a single hand. At a thickness of 9.5mm, the handset may seem thicker than most of the sleek devices available nowadays, though it doesn’t affect the handling in any way. Though our unit was in black, the device comes in a variety of colours ranging from white, to lime and pink.
Mini display with excellent output
The Xperia Z1 Compact sports a 4.3-inch IPS display with a resolution of 720p. This is one of the major differences when comparing it to its bigger sibling, which bears a full HD 5-inch display. However, its display size is why the device gets its ‘Compact’ moniker and thus offers good handling. Thanks to the HD resolution, the images and text come out really well on the smartphone. The screen is crisp, and brightness is also adequate, though it’s a tad reflective. Under sunlight, there was no problem in viewing the screen.The navigation buttons are present on the screen itself – allowing users to access the home, back and recent apps functions. This implementation reduces the screen real estate available. Also, the navigation keys are quite different than the standard layout found in most Android devices that provide an option key as well, though it’s closer to the stock Android UI. So it might take some getting used to this and checking the options for each app individually.
The bezel is quite wide above and below the display, which makes the device look bigger but doesn’t translate into the same kind of screen real estate. In fact, the phone sports a length of 127mm, and other devices pack in larger displays with such measurements. The Moto G is marginally longer at 129.9mm, but packs in a larger 4.5-inch display, whereas the LG G2 Mini measures 129.6mm and boasts a much larger 4.7-inch screen. We have no complaints with the overall dimensions, though a larger screen with the same overall device size would definitely have been a plus.One nifty feature is a glove mode, which is similar to the one found in Nokia’s Lumia range allowing users to use the touchscreen while wearing gloves.
The snapper has a ton of features, but fails to deliver the goods
If the number of megapixels toted by mobile phone camera are compared, then the Xperia Z1 Compact’s 20.7-megapixel sensor (along with the Lumia 1520 ) will come right behind the 41MP PureView camera of the Nokia Lumia 1020 . Rightly so, the camera is one of the highlights of the device. It has all the ingredients to result in great images – including Sony’s G Lens and Exmor RS optics backed by the BIONZ processing engine. One thing we really liked about the camera was its zero shutter lag allowing you to take pictures almost instantaneously. It also becomes easier to click directly via dedicated key, which launches the camera even when the device is on standby.
The camera app on the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact comes with all the bells and whistles offering intuitive features. First up, there are a number of preset options to help shoot in different conditions quickly. The Superior Auto mode automatically selects the best settings to capture based on the current environment, although it captures at 8-megapixel resolution. To shoot in full-size, users can select the Manual option which gives the option to customise other settings as well. Infoeye helps you to get more info about a certain location or an object by snapping a picture, and can also scan a QR code/Bar code. Timeshift Burst is also an interesting concept, as it takes 60 burst shots and gives you the option to pick the best. Some other available options include Social Live that allows you to live broadcast a video directly to Facebook where your friends can also comment on it, while AR Effect adds a touch of fun to any picture along with Picture Effect which offers live effects for images.
Sadly, all this specs and loaded features fail to impress when it comes to the camera output. The photos lacked details and look grainy. Even in indoor conditions, the images turn out to be just average.Take a dekko at the camera samples of the shooter (click on the images to view them in their original size).
The rear camera is also able to record videos at 1080p@30fps. At the front, the phone has a 2-megapixel camera which is good enough for video-calling needs or self-portraits.
Sony’s software additions make Jelly Bean more tasteful
The smartphone ships with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and the company has already started rolling out the KitKat update . It isn’t a stock interface, but thankfully Sony hasn’t gone the same way as Samsung by cramming it with bloatware and feature spam. Instead there are several useful touches here, mostly aimed at making the usage experience better.
The home screen has five screens filled with various apps and widgets. There’s a sidebar that slides out from the left, letting you sort apps alphabetically or by most-used ones, along with the option of viewing downloaded apps only. The notification bar is quite different than the usual implementation and provides quick toggles and notifications in one place. By default, the toggles are available for frequently-needed settings like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile data, brightness, GPS, NFC among others. However they can easily be configured, including their order and at max there can be 10 of such shortcuts available.
In terms of preloaded apps, the Xperia Z1 Compact gets all the offerings from Sony’s stable to replace the default apps. There’s WALKMAN to play music, Album for viewing pictures, Movies for watching videos, Sony Music to stream or download music and Sony Select for downloading apps (along with the Play Store). Similar to Flipboard , it has Sony’s Socialife app that aggregates news from around the web. Even basic apps like Alarm & Clock , Calendar , etc. have custom interfaces. Alongside most of the apps from Google, there are a ton of third-party apps as well including Bigflix , Chrome , LINE , LinkedIn and more. A document viewer and a file manager are also present.
Another useful addition from Sony is the Small Apps feature, that opens mini versions of the frequently-used apps such as browser, notes, calculator, screenshot, etc as floating windows. These apps can be opened by pressing the recent apps button. The feature is immensely handy when you’re in middle of something like chatting with your friend and can quickly bring up the calculator. These floating windows can be dragged around to any part of the screen, along with the option to use a multiple of them simultaneously. Users can also download more Small Apps through the Play Store or convert widgets of the apps installed in the device into Small Apps. Yet another helpful feature is Smart Connect which allows the user to initiate some actions like playing music or configuring alarms whenever an external accessory like an earphone or charger is connected to the phone.
The phone also has a my Xperia feature, which is similar to the Android Device Manager helping you to locate the smartphone or in case of the theft, wipe all of its data remotely.
Blazingly fast performance backed by a long-lasting battery
Till now, we have simply reiterated that the Xperia Z1 Compact packs a powerful hardware, but not discussed how it performs. Let’s see what the internals of the mobile phone offer. At its heart, ticks a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.26GHz. Yes, it’s the same chipset that powers its bigger brother as well as the current crop of flagships viz. the LG G2, Nexus 5, Gionee Elife E7 and Nokia’s Lumia 1520. For offering compelling graphics performance, the device has an Adreno 330 graphics processor. During our usage with the device, the processor zipped through all tasks thrown at it and there wasn’t a single instance of slowdown. The experience of playing graphics-intensive games such as Riptide GP 2 and SHADOWGUN: Deadzone was flawless and enjoyable. The phone heats up within half an hour of gaming, though it’s rarely noticeable thanks to the glass back. It also doesn’t deteriorate the gaming performance in any way.
The Snapdragon 800 SoC is further propelled by 2GB of RAM, ensuring smooth performance. The generous amount of RAM helps in running multiple apps at the same time without any lags. The memory department is taken care of by 16GB internal storage. A major chunk of the storage is occupied by the OS itself, leaving 10.78GB for user data. However, on the positive side, the handset offers an expansion slot for adding a microSD card of up to 64GB. This is a big plus for the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, as most of the devices nowadays either have too little onboard storage that inevitably requires an additional microSD card, or offer a fixed storage of 16/32GB without any option to add more.
The smartphone gets full marks on connectivity as it provides all the standard options including 2G/3G network support, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, GPS as well as NFC. Additionally, it can wirelessly stream content to compatible devices like TV’s through DLNA or wireless display mirroring. Along with the smaller screen, another difference between the Xperia Z1 and its shrunken sibling is the lower battery capacity of 2,300mAh in the latter’s case, though it’d be unfair to expect the same beefy battery in a device of this size. But that hardly impacts the battery life it’s able to deliver. In fact, it can easily last a day and a half between charges. While playing a 720p video on loop, it ran close to 12 hours, which is pretty good for any smartphone.
The battery life of the device is further helped by Sony’s useful optimisations such as STAMINA and Low-battery mode along with location-based Wi-Fi. The STAMINA mode comes into play whenever the battery level goes below a certain level and allows the user to save battery by only using battery-draining features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth when the device is awake. The Low-battery mode permanently switches off such features when the battery drops below a specific level. Location-based Wi-Fi is a simple yet extremely useful feature which binds the Wi-Fi network to locations and connects to them automatically, therby conserving battery since the device doesn’t need to constantly look for Wi-Fi networks.
Verdict
There’s no doubt that big-screen devices which offer a more immersive experience of viewing multimedia, playing games, browsing the web or reading documents are enjoying massive uptake currently. However, this comes at the cost of comfortable handling as well as pocketability. Another thing that works in favour of phablets is that companies are powering them up with the best-in-class specs, while the small devices don’t get that kind of attention. Even the mini versions of other flagships offer watered-down specs (we’re looking at you Samsung and HTC), making them seem like poor cousins to their more accomplished siblings. However Sony has chosen to tread a different path with the Xperia Z1 Compact. The device shares its innards and even the design with the Xperia Z1, but comes in a handier size. Though the camera quality disappointed a bit, the smartphone is an all-rounder in all other respects.
What Sony got wrong with the Xperia Z1 Compact is its steep pricing. The device is priced at Rs 34,999, though it’s available for as low as Rs 33,000 in many places. But at this price point, it costs almost the same as its progenitor, the Xperia Z1 that retails for around Rs 33,000. It’ll also be facing competition from larger devices having similar processing power such as the LG G2 and Lenovo Vibe Z . Had the smartphone been priced lower around Rs 30,000, it would have been more compelling as it wouldn’t really have had a direct competitor, with only the 5-inch Nexus 5 being the closest in terms of core specs. In the end, it boils down to what kind of device you want to buy – if you’re looking for a device that fits into your palm easily without compromising on specs, then the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is a great, and pretty much your only, choice.

Pros Cons The first phone I ever owned was the Sony Ericsson W700i, which offered impressive music playback capabilities. That was an era when Sony was known for its audio and imaging prowess with the W and K Cybershot series, respectively. A lot has changed since then – for Sony as a brand, and the mobile phone landscape as well. Instead of boring you with history however, I’ll come straight to the device I’ll be talking about today – the ( ) – the brand’s latest offering in the Indian market. While it might not be correct to refer to it as the flagship, considering its sibling, the ( ) brings forth mouth-watering specs such as a Snapdragon 835, Gigabit-class speeds, and a 4K HDR display, the XZs also has some impressive hardware features and its price tag of Rs 49,999 brings it in flagship territory. So can it compete with the likes of the Google Pixel, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the recently-launched Galaxy S8? I’ve been using the phone since past few weeks to find an answer to that. Here’s what I think. Table of Contents The first time I held the Sony Xperia XZs in my hands, it felt extremely familiar… the design isn’t much significantly from the previous high-end offerings from the Japanese giant. In fact, it looks almost exactly the same as its immediate predecessor, the ( ), and not too different from the previous phones in the Xperia Z series either. While the XZs’ body might seem plastic-y, it’s actually metal, a proprietary aluminium alloy dubbed as ALKALEIDO. At the front, the display panel acts as the centrepiece, with the earpiece, secondary camera, and Sony branding above it. Below the screen, lies the speaker grille. The navigation keys are available as software overlays. Even though the Xperia XZs is built around a compact 5.2-inch display, it has wide bezels on the top and bottom, which is a downer for me. The button and port placement is also the same as what you’d find on Sony devices. The left edge hides the tray with the SIM slot and the microSD card slot, making it easy to access. Strangely though, the Sony Xperia XZs restarts every time you pull the tray out, even if the SIM isn’t changed. Towards the right, you’ll find the power button that also functions as a fingerprint reader, followed by the volume rocker and the camera shutter button. The fingerprint scanner on the right spine works well for unlocking the phone, but as I had mentioned in my , one needs to add different permutations and combinations for scanning fingers since you could hold the phone using either the left or right hand. That said, the authentication is quick and accurate, although due to its narrow size, at times, it fails to detect fingerprints. Additionally, I find it extremely difficult to reach the volume buttons, and would have preferred them to be placed either higher or on the left spine. The hardware shutter key, without a doubt, is quite useful for accessing the camera instantly along with focussing on the object. The back panel of the Sony Xperia XZs features matte finish, which might not be as pleasing as the glass finish on the XZ Premium, but it provides good grip. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s able to keep smudges at bay. The rear is also you’ll find the main camera sensor, which protrudes slightly and is accompanied by the LED flash and laser autofocus module. Talking about Xperia XZs’ display, the 5.2-inch IPS panel outputs 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, which is odd considering that 2K resolution has become the norm for smartphones in this price range. The display however, is plenty sharp and vivid too with good contrast. The viewing angles are quite good, and the brightness levels are also adequate enough for outdoor conditions. I really like the glove mode feature on the Sony phones, which makes the touchscreen extra sensitive. If you don’t like the colour reproduction, then you can change the image enhancement mode or even tweak the white balance. Overall, I feel that the design of the Sony Xperia XZs is neither good nor bad. While it’s surely compact and offers a good in-hand feel, it doesn’t push the envelope as such, considering nowadays manufacturers are trying to innovate with bezel-less displays and construction materials. That said, it’s great to see the company continuing with dust- and water-proofing of its smartphones, with the IP 68 rating. Sony smartphones have never been known for their custom interface, yet the electronics giant has continued to skin the Android OS with its proprietary layer on top. The Sony Xperia XZs ships with the latest iteration of Google’s OS, i.e. Android 7.1.1 Nougat and even comes with Google Assistant, which can be brought to life by long-pressing the home button. The lock screen is simple, while the home screen also gets a dedicated page for Google Now. There’s a dedicated app drawer – which isn’t available on most smartphones nowadays – and it also has a panel towards the left which lets you search for apps, shows the recently-accessed titles along with some app recommendations. Like its predecessors, I like the ability to sort the apps alphabetically, by name or date, or on the basis of frequency. The Xperia XZs has some bloatware as well, with a slew of preloaded apps such as , along with some titles from Sony itself like and . Sadly, they can’t be uninstalled. The phone also comes with demo versions of a few games likes and preinstalled, which is odd considering they’re freely downloadable. While the Sony Xperia XZs seems to be largely similar to the Xperia XZ till now, the picture changes (pun intended) when we move to the camera section. In fact, I feel that with the phone, the brand is revisiting the K series of yesteryears as the Xperia XZs features a memory-stacked Exmor RS sensor, which was first with its Cybershot RX100 IV and RX 10 II cameras. While the resolution is lowered (19MP vs 23MP on the Xperia XZ), the Xperia XZs’ camera comes with a number of tricks, such as the ability to capture action shots even before one clicks the shutter button (dubbed Predictive Capture, which detects motion automatically and clicks up to four photos before you press the shutter button) or the option to capture super slow-motion videos at 960fps. All this is possible due to the DRAM, which allows the camera to have a buffer memory of its own, and that’s why Sony is referring to it as Motion Eye camera. It can also focus on the subject quickly, thanks to the predictive autofocus mechanism. The camera UI is the same as other Sony smartphones, and in the vertical mode, the shutter button takes centerstage at the bottom and is accompanied by the settings menu and preview for previous captures. Up top, you get the option to toggle the flash and switch to the front camera, along with the ability to go to the manual mode or video or enable various camera apps. The default mode is the superior auto mode which automatically detects the best settings for capturing a photo depending upon the scene, though you can tweak things such as shutter speed, manual focus, etc. with the manual mode. So the camera specs are impressive, what about the image quality? They’re gorgeous as well – full of detail and vibrant colours. The Sony Xperia XZs does complete justice to different scenarios, be it landscape imagery or close-ups. Thanks to the f/1.9 aperture, you can also achieve bokeh effects in some cases. The HDR effect isn’t available up front and you need to go to the manual mode to enable it, although I didn’t feel the need for it. The camera sensor also offers good low-light capabilities, and the output isn’t grainy. The 13-meg camera at the front is able to capture good selfies in daylight conditions. However, it lacks a screen-based or LED flash to provide illumination in poorly-lit environments. Here are a few camera samples of the XZs for your viewing pleasure. While it took me some time to figure out how to capture 960fps slow-mo video from the Xperia XZs, the results blew my mind when I actually shot a few. Once you enter the video mode, you’ll see a separate button to enable the slow-mo capture, though it records for just two seconds in 960fps, which means you need to tap it again to get more footage. The 960fps video is shot in 720p and works well when you use it at the right moment. For normal videos, the device is quite capable and while it lacks OIS, it does come with electronic stabilisation, which the company calls SteadyShot. In sum, the Xperia XZs offers markedly improved photographs over its predecessor. But if you talk about the competition in the form of Samsung’s Galaxy flagships, Apple iPhones or Google’s Pixel duo, then it feels a couple of steps behind. The Snapdragon 820 from Qualcomm was the chipset of choice for phone makers in 2016, but Sony has chosen it for this year’s high-end offering. This is strange considering that the SD821, released towards the end of last year, offers a marginal performance boost along with support for VR with Daydream. Don’t get me wrong, the Sony Xperia XZs is not a slouch in terms of performance, and there were no lags whatsoever during my time with it. Even multitasking was a breeze thanks to 4 gigs of RAM. The graphics department is taken care of by an Adreno 510 GPU and gaming was an enjoyable experience, be it racing in or killing zombies in . Sadly however, Sony hasn’t been able to curtail the heating issues which have plagued its Xperia Z series (and later the Xperia X). While the device doesn’t become unbearably hot, the warmth at the back is noticeable. The same problem exists while using the camera for long durations as well, which results in shutting down of the app. For storage, the Xperia XZs comes with 64GB of memory on board, which is a welcome upgrade from its previous iteration. The storage can also be topped up further with the use of a microSD card of up to 256GB. Fuelling up the Sony Xperia XZs is a 2,950mAh embedded battery. The handset offers some battery enhancing modes such as STAMINA and Ultra STAMINA mode, and they come in handy, considering the backup delivered by the phone is average at best. Even though it was able to play an HD video on loop for 11 hours and 30 minutes as part of the battery test, it barely manages to last an entire working day. Charged at 100 percent at 8 in the morning, it was hardly able to continue till 8 in the evening after heavy usage of 4G, GPS navigation, few calls, watching videos and around 20 to 25 minutes of gaming. In terms of the screen-on time, we usually got around three to three and a half hours, which is just about average. Thankfully, you get fast charging capabilities with the bundled Qnovo adaptive charger. The smartphone would be a treat for the ears of audiophiles too, as it comes packed with several audio-centric features. With DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement), the Xperia XZs enhances the sound quality even if the tracks aren’t Hi-res, while LDAC offers better experience while listening over Bluetooth. If you think about it, the Sony Xperia XZs is exactly same as the Xperia XZ with the only change being the new Motion Eye camera and increase of RAM capacity. But this is because the Japanese brand is continuing with its strategy of two flagships a year, which makes it almost impossible to bring revolutionary changes every time. While the Xperia XZs is a loaded smartphone, what makes its case difficult is the fact that hardware-wise, you could get the Snapdragon 820 and 4GB RAM combination on phones priced as low as Rs 14,999 (on the ). And, if you consider the asking price of the XZs, then it’s up against the formidable compact flagships such as the ( ) and ( ), with the former offering a 2K panel and an attractive design, while the latter features SD821 along with the purest and latest build of Android. You can also opt for the XZs’ predecessor, the Xperia XZ, which is now available at a more attractive price point thanks to price cuts. The recently-launched ( ) and ( ) also seem quite promising, and are easy to handle even with their phablet-sized displays. Even if I keep the pricing aside, the Xperia XZs comes off as a mixed bag. Its design is nothing out of the box, the display resolution is standard, and the battery barely manages to last an entire working day. I certainly like the slow-motion capabilities in the palm of my hand and Predictive Capture is useful in some situations, but I’m not sure if that alone warrants its purchase. In fact, if you are after a Sony phone, then my suggestion would be to wait for its successor, as the company can be expected to offer better specs along with the Motion Eye camera. vs vs, isUpcoming=false, productName=Sony Xperia XZs, isBestSelling=null, productSKU=P761, productPrice=29990.0, productTaxAmount=0.0, currency=INR, productLaunchDate=Tue Apr 11 18:30:00 UTC 2017, productExpiryDate=null, productExpertRating=0.0, productDescription=null, productShortDescription=Black, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB Storage, productImages=[Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/images/Design/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-2.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-2.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/images/Design/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-3.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-3.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/images/Design/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-4.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-4.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/images/Design/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-5.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-5.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null)], hqImages=[Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/hqImage/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-hres-1.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-1.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/hqImage/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-hres-2.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-1.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/hqImage/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-hres-3.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-1.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/hqImage/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-hres-4.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-1.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null), Image(url=https://images.hindustantimes.com/tech/htmobile4/P30306/hqImage/sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-hres-5.jpg, caption=sony-xperia-xzs-mobile-phone-large-1.jpg, alternateText=null, imageCredit=null)], productVidoes=[Video(url=https://catalog-management.s3.amazonaws.com/htmobile3/P761/videos/sony-xperia-xzs-1.mp4, caption=null, alternateText=null, videoCredit=null), Video(url= https://catalog-management.s3.amazonaws.com/htmobile3/P761/videos/sony-xperia-xzs-2.mp4, caption=null, alternateText=null, videoCredit=null)], titleSEO=Sony Xperia XZs Price in India, Full Specs, Reviews, Comparison (30, September, 2023), textSEO=null, keywordSEO=Sony Xperia XZs, Sony Xperia XZs Price, Sony Xperia XZs Price in India, Sony Xperia XZs Specifications, Sony Xperia XZs specs, Sony Xperia XZs release date, Sony Xperia XZs launch, Sony Xperia XZs features, Sony Xperia XZs price in India2023 , Sony Xperia XZs review,Sony Xperia XZs videos, Sony Xperia XZs photos, Sony Xperia XZs News, Sony Xperia XZs alternative, descriptionSEO=Sony Xperia XZs online at best price of Rs. 29990.0 in India.
