The editors didn't like
Camera hit and miss
And software surprisingly a bit simple
Device is big and chunky with large bezels
Buttons could be better placed
Glass back adds weight to the device
The phone body is angular and we do not find it comfortable to hold. The placement of the lens is right where the left index finger hangs over the edge. We took a lot of finger pictures

Elegant design, Excellent performance, Camera at 20MP does fairly well, Much improved battery life with Stamina Mode, Sony's new UI is growing on us
Glass at the back catches scratches easily, Camera Auto Modes restrict aspect ratio and megapixels, For a 5-inch screen, the phone is too tall, Sony could reduce the space at the top and bottom beyond the display area to make the unit more compact
This is essentially the Xperia Z's form factor, with the power of the Xperia Z Ultra. Simply put, the successor to the Xperia Z is on paper the most powerful smartphone available in India. It carries on with almost the same design tone, the water and dust...
