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

  • 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

  • Abstract:  Hate:The shots you take, or the video you film, looks great on the Xperia Z's screen. Actually, anything looks pretty good on this screen because it's exceptionally high-resolution (443ppi, against 324ppi on the already pretty impressive iPhone 5 screen)...

  • All glass phones make us nervous, no 4G LTE in US for unlocked model
  • Sony's top smartphones get better with every generation, and the Xperia Z is a worthy contender to fight the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4. Fans of the Xperia line and Sony's software will no doubt love the phone, with the possible exception of ba...
