If you’re looking for a premium smartphone both the Apple iPhone 5S and the Sony Xperia Z1 have plenty of appeal. Read on to find out the pros and cons of each handset.
Design and build.A big part of the iPhone 5S’s prestige is the fact that Apple creates a product with a premium look and feel. It’s aluminium on the back, glass on the front and very solidly put together, yet at the same time it’s one of the lightest smartphones on the market.
Apple’s aesthetic has changed very little from its predecessor, but that’s no bad thing. It’s clean and minimalist, with rounded corners and balanced proportions. The only major visual changes are the metallic bezel around the Home button and the new colour options, which include space grey with black trim, silver with white trim and champagne gold with white trim.
