The Xperia Z1 follows the style of Sony's flagship phones in 2013, and looks like a smaller version of the Xperia Z Ultra. It has a very square body design, and both the front and back are covered with glass, with a unique style and a strong Sony pedigree.

From the front, the front panels of the Xperia Z1 in black, white and purple are all black, surrounded by a milky white frame. The overall style is quite standard, without much novelty. Compared with some old Sony models with unique designs, the highlights are a little lacking. The appearance is gorgeous and exquisite, but there is less innovation. (End)
