Sony Xperia Z1 benchmark results are here, check out the numbers inside

Sony officially unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z1 at its press conference at IFA, Berlin, yesterday. The cameraphone packs a punch with its Snapdragon 800 chipset clocked at 2.2 GHz along with Adreno 330 graphics and 2 GB of RAM.

We took the Xperia Z1 for a spin and the performance of the device was top notch. So, we decided to stack it up against other smartphones in the market, and here are the results.

The Sony Xperia Z1′s first challenge was when we tested its single-core performance with the BenchmarkPi. As expected, the newest Xperia smartphone piled up an impressive score that secures the device a joint second place in our BenchmarkPi test chart.

Sony Xperia Z1 is surely a worthy device to carry the tag “flagship” and is by far the most impressive Xperia smartphone till date. We are itching to get our hands on the review unit to check out the full potential of the device performance.
