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
  • Disappointing battery life
  • Poor viewing angles
  • Main camera features 13 megapixels but is just good enough for snapshots
  • 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
