The editors didn't like
Ships with dated software
Color banding may spoil display for some
Still no good reason to care about PlayStation certification
No microSD card slot or user-accessible battery
The Xperia S has quirky capacitive buttons
Slow 3G data
An uninspiring screen
And a pokey processor. Its $559.99 price is also steep.
Lower screen resolution than some competitors
Poor camera quality
Annoying port cover
Keyboard case not worth extra money
Viewing angles distort blues
Capacitive buttons too close to screen
No removable battery
No expandable memory
Heat build up is noticable
More 'phablet' than phone
Heavy use will kill battery
Mediocre design. PlayStation bits disappoint. You have to update it to ICS
Back scuffs easily
Not yet Ice Cream Sandwich
Large form factor is awkward for typing
The capacitive button dots are hard to spot and not very responsive
Sealed battery compartment
No memory expansion slot
Chunky with weak build qualityCamera output is only superficially goodSony ecosystem needs to be more cohesive

Mediocre design, PlayStation bits disappoint, No Ice Cream Sandwich
Sony believes this new era can resurrect its ailing smartphone brand and the Xperia S appears to be a good start. With Sony going it alone in the smartphone world we'd expect more distinct designs from the company in the near future. However, it's cle
Sony definitely deserved its award for launching the best smartphone at CES 2013. With the current trend with the market, it surely stands proud at least for the next few months. Its hardware stacks up with the best hardware, but the screen really didn't ...

The Xperia Z is really a mixed bag kind of device. The design is pretty but has its own set of flaws. The camera has the highest resolution sensor available in the market on an Android smartphone today but its performance is average. The battery performs ...
Good hardware is nothing without solid software these days. Avoid the Xperia S until Sony gets this software fixed—especially the Wi-Fi issues. This could be such a capable and fantastic device, but it had its brains scrambled at birth. Sony should just g...
