  • The Sony Xperia Z boasts a thin, attractive design that's also dust- and water-resistant. It's equipped with a big, bright screen and 4G LTE, takes great pictures, and has sharp call quality
  • The Sony Xperia Z's battery life is short, its camera is slow, and its processor is not as peppy as those found in other flagship phones. Its glossy chassis attracts fingerprints easily
  • The Sony Xperia Z makes sense if a water-resistant design and excellent photos are a priority, but skip it if you demand blazingly fast performance and long battery life.
