Holding the Sony Xperia Z1 is a treat to the senses too, as the Z1 features a full glass exterior as well as a smooth, featureless and button-free front.
The back’s so shiny you could mistake it for a display, albeit a broken display that’s stuck showing the Sony logo in the middle.
Sony’s designers have ensured that the Z1’s plastic sides extend by a fraction of a millimetre over the phone’s glassy rear.
