The flagship with characteristic rectangular features in appearance is one of the first devices running Android 8 (Oreo). However, it is quite difficult to recognize the “OS” interface behind the Sony proprietary shell. The smartphone is built on the basis of advanced hardware (a powerful 8-core Snapdragon 835 chip and 4 GB of RAM), and is also equipped with a high-quality FullHD screen with HDR technology support.
The memory on board the Sony Xperia XZ1 Dual is 64 GB. To expand its volume, you will need to abandon the second SIM by installing a microSD drive in its place. Another strong trump card of the smartphone is the main 19-megapixel camera with support for ultra-high-speed video recording in HD (960 fps) and 3D scanning of objects. The 13 MP front camera breathes into the back of the rear camera. The body of the device is protected from external influences according to the IP68 standard, and under its outer shell there is a 2700 mAh battery, the charge of which is enough for about a day of autonomous operation of the gadget.

Sony smartphones are recognizable among their peers due to their rectangular features in appearance, which distinguishes them from competitors. And although this approach is not trendy, the corporate identity of the line of mobile gadgets under the name Xperia is preferred by many users in all corners of the globe.
Framed by frames
Not wanting to deviate from the canons of rectangular design, Sony engineers had to sacrifice the dimensions of the smartphone, which, with a 5.2-inch screen size, is larger than the 5.8-inch flagship Samsung Galaxy S8. All because of the huge chin and forehead. As a moral compensation in the areas under the screen and above it, there was a place for loud stereo speakers. The display itself has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and boasts support for displaying high dynamic range (HDR) images.
The freshest
Following tradition, at the time of the announcement, the smartphone got the top-end hardware (an 8-core Snapdragon 835 chip, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory). But that's not all — Sony Xperia XZ1 is assigned the role of the first-born among new devices running Android Oreo. However the "naked" interface of the operating system is heavily covered by Sony's proprietary shell.
Unique Camera
The main "feature" of the mobile gadget is the main camera. It is not doubled, which does not correspond to the latest fashion trends, but it attracts no less attention. The 19-megapixel main camera module has its own memory buffer (128 MB), thanks to which it can produce slow-motion video at up to 960 fps (in HD format) and perform 3D scanning of objects for the subsequent creation of three-dimensional models of the face, head, items or food. In the future, the resulting model can be printed on a 3D printer. Also, the camera has acquired tracking autofocus during continuous photography.
fast charging
Surprise in the detailed specifications of the smartphone is only the point related to the battery capacity — 2700 mAh is clearly not enough today. However, knowing Sony's effective energy-saving algorithms, we can safely talk about the day of the gadget's full operation without recharging. And if you need to carry out this process, it will take a minimum of time due to the smartphone's claimed support for Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging technology.
