Xperia Z1 – The king of waterproof phones is an update to original Z series of Sony. It may look analogous to the Z at first glance, but by looking closer, some subtle difference can be noticed. However, Z1 is much better than that of Z series in aspect of design and build quality.
The tremendous change is because of the material that is used for its manufacturing. The Z was built up of glass and plastic, but Z1 has replaced its manufacturing material with the use of aluminum and glass. The combination of glass and metal is giving an awesome look and thus, it is also well known as best looking phone.
