The Sony Xperia Z1 - Premium and Rugged All in One Package

One of the flagship smartphones that Sony has launched and that has maintained its value and relevancy over time is the Sony Xperia Z1. This is an awesome phone that combines all the features of a premium phone with that of a rugged device able to resist water and dust. 

However, above all, the Z1's most striking and outstanding feature is its professional DSLR-level camera which packs a whooping 20.7MP sensor. It's almost as if you were carrying a camera that also happens to make calls. Other outstanding hardware include its 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 chipset found on most high-end smartphones. It also packs a 2GB RAM space which enables it to perform pretty decently.

At first glance, you will notice the Z1 does not have any buttons. The back is so shiny you could almost mistake it for a display. The phone is so thin it feels like it might just slide out of your pocket and onto the floor. 

Overall, I would say the Z1 is a great phone for anyone looking for class and ruggedness all in one package. It looks elegant and classy but packs all the features of a phone that can survive the fairest amount of mistreatment and still come out on the other side screaming, Z1!
