It is part of the tradition, with each new launch, certain YouTube users are quick to mistreat to exhaustion the devices that are going to populate the shelves of consumer technology in the coming days. The Sony Xperia XZ was not going to get rid of these torture tests. As with the LG G5, these tests are often somewhat revealing in some respects, and that is It seems that the Xperia XZ has more plastic parts than desirable in a mobile device for its price and featuresAlthough for sure, Sony has had a good reason to include them.
Has been one more time JerryRigEverything´s the YouTube channel in charge of "giving a good beating" to the mobile device of the Japanese company. The problem seems to go far beyond the design of the device, and is that although Sony has not made much mention of the subject, it seems that it includes a lot of plastic, too much for a device that costs what this Sony Xperia XZ. According to the analysis of Jerry, these are all the plastic parts of it:
• The LED Flash protector
• The top edge
• The lower edge
• Side edges
• The top speaker grille
• Fingerprint scanner
• SIM card / microSD card tray
I did not want to consider the lower band on the back as a plastic part, as it is strictly necessary to improve the coverage of the device. However, it seems that Sony put out more chest than it should in the presentation, when announced that the device had a new ultra-resistant metal called ALKALEIDO and that promised a purity without equal. The problem with the use of plastic materials is obvious, only the back is made of this material, which considerably reduces the resistance to bending and causes breakages in the plastic that could be fatal, not to mention the possibility (hopefully not ...) that the paint used on the plastic falls off.
