Sony xperia xz dimensions12/20/2023 ![]() Information is scarce though and the marketing materials don't say anything about its mechanical properties so we are really not sure what to expect of the durability of its finish. Sony claims that they've chosen ALKALEIDO to complement their phone's premium design with a material, which has an extra shine and a feeling of depth. The curious sounding ALKALEIDO alloy is actually a trademark name belonging to the Japanese steel manufacturer Kobe Steel and our research showed it's a type of aluminum alloy. Sony calls this design 'loop surface', because design concepts are always better with fancy names, but other than that, it sure looks and feels nice.īold lines, pointy corners, looping sidesĪnd mind you, those are three different materials you're touching - glass on the front (an unspecified generation Gorilla Glass), polycarbonate on the frame and ALKALEIDO metal on the back. The sides are fluid, flowing from front to back with only miniscule gaps between the frame and the adjacent surfaces. The design is a stylish mix of sharp edges and smooth curves throughout. If anything, the corners have gotten sharper. Now, the Xperia XZ is still mostly a rectangle with sharp corners - some things will never change. ![]() That said, it does show that on the XZ designers did more than move around the front camera and sensors. Sony's smartphone design has traditionally been about evolution, refinement, and polishing, rather than striking changes from one generation to another. ![]() Sony's own Z5 was 154g, but the more recent X Performance is closer to the Xperia XZ at 164 g. The G5 is 2g lighter, while the Galaxy S7 trumps them all with its weight of 152g. The HTC 10 is virtually the same as the Xperia XZ in footprint and its slightly higher thickness of 9 millimeters is offset by curves and chamfered sides.Īt 161g, the Xperia is precisely as heavy as the HTC flagship. Then, the LG G5 is a few millimeters larger at 149.9 x 73.9 x 7.7mm but you get a bit more screen real estate there. The Galaxy S7 is meanwhile smaller in every dimension, though its display is, admittedly, 0.05 inches smaller in diagonal. It's still not as thick as the Xperia X Performance and its 8.7mm, and nowhere near the chunky 9.5mm X Compact. The Sony Xperia XZ measures 146 x 72 x 8.1mm, the exact same footprint as the Xperia Z5 it comes to succeed, but 0.8mm thicker. The name is not just for show either - these do pump out some serious bass. The headphones themselves are a very comfortable fit and cover the ears completely, while the swiveling cans are great for packing in a suitcase. We already spotted a few pre-order campaigns that included a pair of Sony's XB950BT Extra Bass Bluetooth headphones - a £150/€200 value. Some markets may receive a fast charger, and a headset isn't out of the question. Sony's retail bundle can vary between countries and carriers, so the box contents here are probably not indicative of what you'd be getting on your end. Barebones bundle of our review unit, yours may differ. ![]() ![]() Inside our unit's package we found a run-of-the-mill 5V/1.5A AC adapter, and a Type-C cable. There's plenty of color on the inside though, once you remove the lid. The Xperia XZ comes in a plain white cardboard box like the other X's and you'd be hard pressed to tell the flagship apart from the rest of the lineup. ![]()
