The editors didn't like
Sony's UI is fast showing its age

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

Occasional camera failures
And dictionary problems
Plastic sides
