Sony Xperia XZ1 to face competition from these devices in India

Given that the smartphone will be an expensive one in the country, it does come packed with high-end and premium features as we have seen in most flagship smartphones. It gets the power from a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC that has been used by most of the flagship phones launched this year except for the LG G6.

Having said that, there is no doubt that the Sony Xperia XZ1 will be a capable performer as well. It makes use of 4GB RAM and 64GB storage as well. Also, there is a USB Type-C port, a capable camera department, the Sony's X-Reality and Triluminous display technologies and more in the Xperia XZ1.

We have come up with a list of smartphones that are already available in the country. These premium phones will definitely give a tough competition to the Sony Xperia XZ1.
