Sony wowed us last year with the introduction of its Xperia Z phone. Instead of the plasticky, chunky bodies of its previous phones, the Z had a stunning all-glass design and was among the first top-end smart phones to provide full protection from errant liquid-splashes. With a four and a half star score and our much-coveted Editor's Choice award to its name, the Z didn't make it easy for its successor to impress. With a few key tweaks, including a ridiculously powerful quad-core processor, a new aluminium band around the edge and a 20.7-megapixel camera, the Xperia Z1 is ready to show its older brother who's boss.

At £600, it's certainly not competitive when it comes to affordability, but Sony is hoping its impressive spec sheet will make the Z1 a worthy purchase, It's available now on a range of plans, You can get it free from £29 per month on a two-year contract, or SIM-free from £550, With its sleek glass front and back and new aluminium frame, the Xperia Z1 is an undeniably beautiful piece of kit, The waterproof design helps keep it safe from all manner of liquids that would put an butts and boobies iphone case end to most other phones and its screen is better than ever, Its searingly mighty processor also makes it the most powerful phone I've ever tested..

It's not perfect though. Although it has the same screen size as the Samsung Galaxy S4, it has a bigger body, making it a little cumbersome. Some of Sony's software tweaks aren't particularly welcome either, and will almost certainly slow down the time it takes to receive updates. Finally, although the camera has seen an impressive bump to 20 megapixels, the images it produces aren't anything special. If you're after a phone with enough juice to tackle any task you're likely to throw at it, you'd be wise to opt for the Z1, but there are various other options to consider.

The Galaxy S4 should certainly be at the top of your list -- it's extremely powerful, has a brilliant screen and a camera butts and boobies iphone case capable of producing beautiful results, The S4 Active has similar specs but, like the Z1, has a waterproof body, protecting it from the elements, Alternatively, the all-metal HTC One not only looks superb, but it too has a Full HD screen and powerful quad-core processor, With only a glance, you might not immediately be able to tell much difference between the Z1 and its predecessor, It's roughly the same physical size, the sticking-out power button is in the same spot and the Sony and Xperia logos sit in the same place, The noticeable difference is the addition of a dedicated camera shutter button and an aluminium band around the edge..

The use of metal gives the phone a noticeable, luxurious feel as well as apparently strengthening it. The previous Z had slightly harsh edges, but the rounded aluminium feels much more comfortable. The downside is that the similar aesthetic makes it difficult to really show off that you have the latest technology in your hand. You'll likely have to actually point it out if you want someone to notice, and in my experience, "look at the metal parts on my phone" is a pretty awful conversation starter.
