The editors didn't like
Sony's UI is fast showing its age
Camera functions and modes still limited to 8MP
Premium qualities lost in plastic frame compared to aluminium Z1 Compact
Sony's included bloat
Glass back isn't to everyone's liking
A stack of preloaded
Uninstallable apps
Lack of Qi charging in a phone with a covered USB port
The screen size has increased
But not the resolution
Resulting in a less sharp image overall than its predecessor and many of its rivals. Although the camera takes good shots
Its resolution is throttled in automatic mode and the white balance isn't per
A fair few bugs
Including some odd Exchange issues
Occasional camera failures
And dictionary problems
Plastic sides
Screen could probably be a little higher resolution
