improvement to rush out and buy it on day one.

This is a feature Sony has had on its flagship line for quite
some time now. The Xperia XZ is IP68 water- and dust-resistant, so you can
safely immerse it up to depths of one meter, although Sony advises against
keeping it submerged for long periods of time.
Dust-resistance, meanwhile, ensures that if you take your phone
to the beach sand isn't going to get jammed in the sockets and ports.
This is impressive, considering that both the 3.5mm headphone
jack and the USB-C slot at the bottom of the phone are open; despite it being a
feature of Sony flagship phones for quite some time, the waterproof design is
still something worth shouting about.
The fingerprint scanner works quickly as soon as you hit the button.Those
who are left handed may also find it a little more difficult and will need to
register a different finger to get the benefit of unlocking it in the hand.
There's a 5.2-inch screen on the Xperia XZ, which may feel a
little large for those with smaller hands. This is an average size screen for
flagship smartphones right now, but you should note you'll likely need to use
both hands to reach all the edges.
The screen is bright and looks good though - it's not 2K, but
that's likely not a deal breaker or a reason to not buy the Xperia XZ. If you
want to experience VR with your phone, it may not be the best choice as it only
offers 424 pixels-per-inch compared to 534ppi on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
PS4 Remote Play is a big bonus if you're into your gaming too.
If you have Sony's home gaming console you'll be able to play games on your
Xperia XZ over the same Wi-Fi network your console is on – handy if someone
else is watching the TV.
The only issue here is that the
screen on the Xperia XZ is a little too small for playing games on a regular
basis – for that we'd recommend picking up an Xperia Z4 Tablet with its 2K
10-inch screen.
You'll also need to make sure your Wi-Fi connection is up to
handling PS4 Remote Play.
Design;
·
New high-end material on the back
·
Fits comfortably in the hand
·
No durable corners as on the Xperia Z5 range.
There's a new kind of metal material on the back of the phone,
which Sony calls ALKALEIDO, although you won't notice anything radically
different about it – to the touch it feels much the same as the metal on
previous Sony handsets.
It does feel premium, though, and it looks better than the glass
on early Xperia Z-line handsets. But be warned: it may be a new kind of
material, but the Xperia XZ will still pick up your greasy fingerprints.
On the top is a 3.5mm headphone jack (take note if you're a
disgruntled iPhone fan) – it's in a good place for plugging in headphones when
your phone's in your pocket.
There's a USB-C slot on the bottom of the phone, while on the
left-hand side is the slot for the microSD and SIM cards.
The volume rocker is in a strange position, two-thirds of the
way down the right-hand spine – it's not a natural placement for your fingers
to reach it quickly if music is blaring out of the phone and you need to turn
it down.
Below this is a camera button, which enables you to snap shots
without touching the screen. This will come in useful if you use the camera a
lot, and it's something you don't get on many other flagship phones.
A feature we do miss here is the reinforced corners from the
Xperia Z5, designed to absorb the impact if the phone is dropped –this gives a
bit of concern to the phone uses.
