Sony Xperia XZ1


This time Sony dropped two SmartPhones in their own right, not so much one being a variant of a major one, they were the Xperia XZ1 and XZ1 Compact.  They were brought out as part of the Xperia XZ1 series. They were both announced in August 2017, and they were both powered by the Snapdragon 835 chip-set and fueled by the same processor.

Both Smartphones showed-off a 19-megapixel camera on the back, with 8-megapixel selfie camera is on both handsets.  However it must be noted that because Sony chose to have the same capacity for the battery in both devices.

Both devices carried on with the water-proof theme with an IP68 certification, the two phones came with different specifications despite the fact that they looked similar, they had different dimensions in size.
