The editors didn't like

  • Limited viewing angles
  • Graininess and blur to many images
  • Mediocre ergonomics
  • Sub-par camera performance
  • PlayStation Mobile remains woefully underdeveloped
  • 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
  • Boxy design makes one-hand use difficult
  • Narrow viewing angles
  • Back gets hot
  • Slower CPU than HTC One and S4
  • All glass phones make us nervous
  • No 4G LTE in US for unlocked model
  • Mediocre call quality. Dated processor. Average battery life
  • Camera's lowlight and panorama performance was a little disappointing
  • TMobile's LTE network needs to expand to more cities
  • Running Android 4.1.1 at launch
  • Instead of the most recent 4.2.2 (Sony promises an upgrade)
  • Display has poor contrast and viewing angles
  • Slow camera start
  • Imprecise scrolling of heavier web sites
  • Battery won't last more than six hours. “Stamina” mode helps
  • But making it all the way to bedtime is still a challenge. GPS is very slow. Port caps feels fragile
  • Sony's user interface customisations can be obtrusive
  • Glass case prone to fingerprints
  • Battery life weak
  • Disappointing camera
  • Mediocre callquality
  • Some intermittent lag
  • Non-removable battery with mediocre stamina
  • Poor button placement
  • Relatively easy to scratch

  • Display
  • High black value and low contrast
  • Viewing angle stability of the 5-inch display is less than stellar
  • Phone gets warm even during idle
  • Buttons on the right and speaker ar

  • Display: high resolution, Polished design, Quality manufacturing, Dustand waterresistant, Exemplary responsiveness, Sony user interface is effective and well integrated, Screen brightness, Good phone function
  • Display: low contrast, Finger smudging., Photo quality less than the best, Speaker location
  • The Xperia Z has lots of selling points: elegance, quality finishing, high responsiveness, an effective user interface, a good phone function... But it isn't perfect: the camera function is disappointing and the body smudges like crazy....

  • There's a lot to like about the Xperia Z not least the build quality, waterproofing and very efficient packaging. But I'm not wholly sure that's going to be enough to see off the competition from HTC's One - smaller, 4.7-inch screen notwithstanding - or ...

  • Overall, the Xperia Z is a powerhouse of a smartphone with a dazzling display and long-lasting battery. There are features of the Xperia T that I wish Sony held on to – such as the curved design and the dedicated camera button – but the Xperia Z is a fine...

  • The Sony Xperia Z is an outstanding smartphone in many ways. It looks good, it's very powerful and it's even waterproof. The added value of Full HD compared to HD resolution in a 5-inch display isn't huge, but hi-res photos do look amazing on the Xperia...

  • Water and dust resistant; Classical styling; Immersive display
  • All ports under flaps; Mediocre battery life; Gets warm with intensive use
  • The Sony Xperia Z may be the best phone out right now, but that isn't to say it's perfect. Thanks to its weather proofing, it will be the only viable super phone out there for anyone whose business requires they be exposed to the elements....

  • Beautiful 5-inch Full HD display, Sleek, strong, waterproof design, Pleasing OS and UI combination
  • Handset quickly becomes smeared mess, Becomes excessive hot during use, Disappointing battery life
  • A mixture of high-end handset supremacy and a few small niggling issues, the Sony Xperia Z takes the Japanese manufacturer so close to smartphone superstardom, only to fall at the final hurdles.Overall, the Sony Xperia Z is a device that impresses on firs...

  • Abstract:  With the promise of a new Galaxy smartphone just a week away , the comparison of Sony's flagship Xperia Z with Samsung's much older Galaxy S III will seem bizarre. However, with plenty of customers expected to trade in their S III for a soon-to-be-release...

  • Sony’s phone feels luxurious, and it’s priced accordingly. SIM-free, the Xperia Z will set you back a mighty £498 inc VAT, which is around £100 more than the Samsung. On contract, the gap closes: both are free on £26-per-month deals.The two phones exce...
