8 best Sony smartphones

The world of smartphones is very rich and diverse. New gadgets are created almost every day. Most brands produce devices of various price categories, with many unique functions and features. Some of them are constantly experimenting with the latest technologies, but often not a single development is brought to mind, which is why phones can be different with unpredictability and “raw” stuffing.

Fortunately, some popular brands have held the brand for decades and increase the quality, and therefore deserve special attention. For example, the world-famous Japanese company Sony, being one of the most advanced manufacturers of smartphones, successfully saves face from year to year. So, buying a gadget of this brand, the user can be confident in quality, especially when it comes to the main features of the brand.

When developing Sony mobile devices, exclusive attention is paid to multimedia features and the comfort of viewing photos and videos. Therefore, it is not surprising that all Ixperia models stand out favorably against competitors with excellent cameras with many additional functions and filters, as well as a large and colorful display that is also scratch-resistant. This is perhaps one of the main advantages of Japanese phones over Samsung, Panasonic, HTC, Xiaomi and other devices with a vulnerable screen, which almost always requires the purchase of a protective film, or even special glass.

Also many Sony can be commended for excellent performance. The best representatives of the brand can work more than a day, and sometimes about two days without recharging. At the same time, the latest smartphones even have some functions similar to Apple, but unlike the American flagships, they are relatively inexpensive.

Of course, like many others, Sony sometimes has not the most successful models, in particular, some devices of previous years warmed up a bit during long-term work, and sometimes they suddenly slowed down. Nevertheless, these shortcomings have been successfully corrected, and the majority of smartphones in 2017 and the end of 2016 are distinguished by stable work and quick response. And models released in 2018 also acquired progressive stuffing with an emphasis on some component. Also, the manufacturer has finally begun to pack its smartphones with a powerful battery.

Top 8 best Sony smartphones

8 Sony Xperia XA2 Plus 32GB

Excellent candy bar, which can be called one of the best creations of Sony. The manufacturer finally listened to users and installed a powerful 3500 mAh battery. A large battery allows you to leave the outlet for two or three days. A six-inch diagonal in combination with an 18: 9 aspect ratio will please fans to watch movies and read from the phone. Another bonus is the fifth generation of Gorilla Glass screen protection.

Mini-jack in place. The camera on the rear panel is implemented as a 23-megapixel module, while the front camera has only 8 MP. The power of the processor from the Kvalkom of the 630th series will satisfy the average owner completely, and partly the gamer. In the comments, Sony is grateful for the presence of all sorts of codecs for improving the quality of sound transmission via Bluetooth, and the main complaint is a slippery package.

7 Sony Xperia L1

The year 2017 was marked not only by the appearance of new flagships of the Xperia line, but also by the long-awaited release of the very first low-cost Sony model. The smartphone is pleasantly surprised by the quality, usually unusual budget devices. It incorporates the best basic features of the popular flagships of the brand. However, as it is easy to guess, the gadget knowingly belongs to the category of inexpensive devices.

The smartphone is made of plastic and is devoid of such luxurious functions as fingerprint scanning, waterproofing and protective glass that protects the display from scratches, which, however, is not surprising at such a price. But still, the device will pleasantly surprise the owner with excellent cameras for a state employee, good memory with the ability to install an additional card up to 256 GB and NFC. In addition, it is reliable and at the same time unpretentious. 2620 mAh battery capacity is enough for a day of use. This is a good indicator for an inexpensive device.

6 Sony Xperia Z5 Dual

Being one of the best Japanese flagships of 2015, by 2018, the smartphone significantly reduced the price, but did not lose popularity. On the contrary, a lot of positive reviews proved that this now inexpensive gadget has a good build, a good battery for Sony and one of the most advanced functionalities.

The phone supports two SIM cards in parallel with a memory card, which is very rare for modern smartphones, and has 2 GB of RAM and a smart 8-core processor. Both cameras, like many of the more expensive devices of the manufacturer, are characterized by realistic color reproduction and good detail.

At the same time, the smartphone will be pleasantly surprised by the presence of such innovative flagship functions as NFC, fingerprint recognition and protection from splashes and water. However, it is worth remembering that we are talking about getting on the device a small amount of non-chlorinated water, and not about immersion with the phone to the bottom of the pool.

5 Sony Xperia L2

Typical brick from Sony with a balanced for non-resource-intensive daily tasks stuffing. The screen is 5.5 inches endowed with basic HD resolution, but in reviews, users admire the bright juicy colors and elegant color reproduction. And according to the best tradition, Sony focused on photographic abilities. The main camera of 13 megapixel shoots well in conditions of sufficient illumination, but the juice itself is enclosed in the front-facing module.

The function of group selfies allows you to shoot collective "selfies" without using a selfie stick, and so that everyone can easily fit into the frame. The rest is one of the best smartphones: pleasant tactile sensations, sufficient performance, the screen is large, and the budget price segment.

4 Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact

Perhaps the only modern smartphone from Sony without angular forms. Slightly smoothed corners and sloping faces are not all unusual indicators in this Sony. The screen diagonal is only 5 inches, and in fact the device was released in 2018. The model will be the best joy for those who are not accustomed to large-format phones and are looking for a productive and progressive smartphone that is convenient to control with one hand.

Inside, there is the eighth Android, a 19-megapixel camera, 4 GB of RAM and the top Snapdragon 845 processor. There is water protection, support for fast charging, a fingerprint scanner and stereo speakers. The camera is good: autofocus laser, macro mode in place, aperture F / 2. In the reviews, the owners complain only about the battery - it lasts for a day with a creak, but they praise ergonomics - the smartphone is gorgeous in the hand.

3 Sony Xperia XZ Premium

The premium gadget can be called the best of the three smartphones with a 4K screen, which have no analogues either from Samsung or other competitors. After all, only Sony has a display with this resolution. What does the 3840 by 2160 pixels - is not just an impressive figure or PR, but the ability to watch movies in excellent quality, comparable to the most modern TVs. In addition, the 5.5-inch screen is not only very colorful and capable of conveying the smallest details, but also perfectly protected from scratches.

However, a comfortable viewing would be impossible without a powerful battery with a capacity of 3230 mAh, which allows you to watch movies all day without being distracted by recharging. Of course, in the standby mode, the smartphone runs much longer. Therefore, with not very active use, it will easily cost without recharging for several days. Also, the phone boasts good speakers with stereo effect and 4 GB RAM.

2 Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra 32GB

The first thing that catches your eye is the almost complete absence of the side frames. Surprisingly, Sony managed to combine its traditional “brick” design and the latest fashion trends, although the smartphone did not become a completely frameless smartphone.

Like many Xperia, the device is endowed with a colorful durable screen, fast charging function, a good battery and high-quality speakers. Due to the amount of RAM that reaches 4 GB, internal memory of 32 GB and a productive 8-core processor, the phone easily copes with the multitasking mode and watching movies in high resolution.

However, the main advantage of this smartphone is still the camera. Both of them are equipped with flashes and therefore make smart pictures in any light. The record resolution of 16 megapixel front camera and 23 megapixel rear camera in combination with optical stabilization make this smartphone a real boon for high-quality shots.

1 Sony Xperia XZs Dual 64GB

Released in 2017, the smartphone deservedly immediately turned out to be among the best flagships of that year and still holds its position. Although the appearance of Ixperia is still unchanged and can hardly be called innovative, the device will delight the buyer with the most modern and useful features, including fingerprint scanning, fast charging, and more.

Also, the device will definitely appreciate lovers of high-quality images and selfies, since both cameras have a high resolution of 3840x2160 and excellent detail. No lagging and sound. Thanks to the stereo speakers, the smartphone gives a good surround sound.

In addition, it supports the alternate operation of two SIM cards, is protected from moisture, and its screen is scratch-resistant. And, perhaps, the most pleasant thing: despite the rich and well-thought-out functionality, the phone can be called relatively inexpensive compared to its closest competitors, who have similar functionality.
