Great phone in 2021 just what I'm looking for 5.2 inch slimmer and lighter phone at a time where they are becoming increasingly heavy and difficult to handle.
4.8 Inch would be ideal for me but I'll take this given the current trend is to make massive cell phones 6.9inch bordering on the size of an Ipad / Tablet

I feel that the phone is bent at some point at the ends, meaning that it is not completely straight. Have you noticed the same thing?

The thing that I didn't like is the fast charge is too slow, I have s10+ with 15w and 4100 mah and its charging faster than zx1 that have 18w and 2700mah! Disappointed

Hi, i just want to share my experience using the Xperia XZ1 as my main phone (daily driver) since December 2019. I bought the phone secondhand in good condition with no hardware issue except for minor scratches on the screen, but that to expected on a used phone. It is from a Japanese courier, au.
Before that, please note that I don't play games on my phone. Also, this review is based on the usage in 2021.
For me, this phone is still quite capable in 2021. The Snapdragon 835 is still a powerhouse. Launching applications is still smooth. I seriously haven't found any lag or whatsoever. However, the 4GB of RAM does show it ages, sometimes I found application reload in the background. But personally, I don't really mind it since it reloads quickly, credit to the powerful chipset.
The software is stuck on Android 9 & October 2019 security patch. It is old, but again, personally, it didn't bothered me enough because I can still download all my application from the Play Store and it still got latest application updates.
The 2700mAh battery may sounds very dull, especially in this era of big sized smartphone. But, hell, this phone still lasts for a day with my moderate usage of social media, YouTube, Spotify, and taking pictures with SoT of 6 to 7 hours. Pretty decent for its size! Again, I don't play video games on my phone. AccuBattery app shows my device battery health is at 87%.
I am still in love with the design of this phone. I don't know why but I love the bezel on this phone. It makes the overall looks of this phone very elegant, very Sony'ish I could say, lol. That's why I'm still using it as my main phone, it is my eye candy.
The only things that the XZ1 disappoints me is the camera. Poor dynamic range, can't capture good detail in harsh lighting condition. I would say today's entry smartphone's camera is better than this. But I love the front camera, it doesn't smoothen your skin, Apple'ish result I could say.
TLDR: Yes, Xperia XZ1 is still a very capable phone in 2021 if you don't mind the camera output. Good design, battery still holding up, the performance still topnotch.

The phone is great, camera also great, the battery got a little bit fast finish but due to it is a fast charging phone, so i not so care about it, but currently i have face a problem, after i update to android 9, my phone will automaticly freeze for few second n restart, it wont take too long to restart, but i just don't like it (can imaging that when i talking with my client, it suddenly shut down....)

Ijas, 17 Jan 2021What about battery?We have two of them. Me and my wife. I have the XZ1 and my wife has XZ1 COMPACT.
Battery is just no words. Great great. Charges sooo fast and keeps the battery life till 36 h heavy use believe me.
No quick drains or something weird. Perfect.
