The editors didn't like
You can have the screen in either 4K or 120Hz
Doesn't get very bright either
Battery life is below average even for SD888
So is charging speed
Has a tendency to overheat under sustained load
With heavy throttling too
An engineering feat as it may be
Premium price
4K isn't noticeable
Long footprint is not for everyone
Screen could be brighter
Expensive
Weaker zoom than competition
Short time frame for security update support
Seriously
It's $1
300
The price is too damn high
Poor battery life
4K display hard to see outdoors
Selfie camera is average
Multiple custom Sony apps are buggy or poorly organized
Tall chassis is hard to navigate for people with smaller hands
Outdated connectivity - no Thunderbolt
Maximum 3D performance only possible via USB-C with DisplayPort
Below-average RAM performance
High color-space deviations - no precalibrated display
