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
Screen has poor viewing angles
Questionable ergonomics
Back glass scratches too easily
Loads of Sony bloatware
Disappointing indoor photos
Erratic screen technology
Disappointing battery life
Wide bezel results in chunky body
Camera can be hit and miss in auto mode
Pricey
Battery only lasts a day
20 megapixel camera defaults to 8 megapixels
And doesn't offer much functionality when you're shooting at 20
