Background and Identification

The Sony Xperia XZ1 is part of the Xperia X series of smartphones, which replaced the Xperia Z series. This phone was announced along with the Xperia XZ1 Compact (a smaller version of the same phone) on August 31st, 2017 at IFA 2017, a European trade show. These two phones were the first to have Android 8.0 Oreo pre-installed as the operating system.

The Xperia XZ1 is a flagship model of Xperia X phones, along with the Xperia XA1, XA1 Ultra, and the XZ1 Compact. Flagship models usually have the best specifications of the phones in a series. The newly developed operating system certainly implies that this phone would have flagship-level specifications, but TechRadar’s review of the the Xperia XA1 says that it’s design is dated, and it doesn’t have a camera to compete with rival phones in the same price range.
