The Best Xperia in History

Posted: Aug 27, 2016, 8:55 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

When it came out, this was clearly the best phone in the world and even now, nearly two nad a half year later its overall performance is very good. Support of Android 6.0.1 and still good specs make this phone pretty usable, but in few things this phone is just to old.

Excellent Build Quality with Impressive Speed

Phone owned for less than a year

I suddenly shifted from Samsung to SONY. Main reason was,
• Very Impressive UI.
• Continuously Software Updates (SONY did no abandon its entire “Z” class. They still giving update starting from their first “Z” model.)
• Camera will hold your breath while taking snaps. (Both cameras are perfect. Doesn’t matte front camera having 2MP it still shooting clear shots.)
• Most importantly YOU WILL LOVE SONY “Z” UI
