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

Superb sound, Sophisticated screen, Great battery life, Waterproof and dustproof
Narrow viewing angles, Not very ergonomic in the hand, Camera not best in class
Much like the Xperia Z, this is a brilliant smartphone not just for sophisticated picture and sound quality that's a cut above most rivals but also as an all-round package.The design is sleek, if not the most manageable, the camera is reliable, the batter...
