Performance and Software

Under the hood, the Xperia XZ1 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset, coupled with an octa-core CPU and Adreno 540 GPU. This combination was top-of-the-line at its release and still holds up well for running apps, games, and performing multitasking smoothly. Originally shipped with Android 8.0 (Oreo), the phone is upgradeable to Android 9.0 (Pie), ensuring that users have access to newer Android features and security updates.
