The Sony Xperia Z2 has a glorious screen
Tonnes of power

The editors didn't like
Chunky design
Fiddly UI in places
Button placement can be pretty frustrating
Size and shape makes the phone hard to hold
Glass back is a worry
”Superior Auto” camera mode is far from it
It often thinks of surfaces as slip ‘n slides
Can be unwieldy
Glass front and rear durable but remains questionable
Overheating concerns while recording video
Bundled Sony apps overlap with one another to the point of redundancy
Big in size
It's expensive
Its regular autofocus adjustments during shooting can spoil videos
And the camera resolution is throttled when using the full automatic mode
The rectangular size can still be a little awkward to hold
Especially for smaller hands
Camera's manual mode needs some actual manual control
