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

  • Something I didn't expect with the Xperia Z was to fall in love with it - upon opening it out of the box, I was in love. It looks gorgeous, performs admirably, and does it all without breaking a sweat. Have Sony gone from underdog to a true competitor...

  • Water resistant, HD Voice, Good video camera, Stunning music quality
  • Non removable battery, Software bugs
  • Buying Guide Best Android phone Sony's come out here with a very strong message: we are back and we mean business. There's no hint of this being a niche Android phone, or by any means a cheap one. Sony wants the Xperia Z to be viewed as the handset of cho...

  • Based on what we've seen so far, the Xperia Z looks like a very solid Android phone, and we expect it to do moderately well in Australia, and certainly better than Sony has done with previous models in the local market. This looks to be a high-end model ...

  • Big, bright display – 5 inches of 1080p goodness. 440 ppi makes for a beautiful image, Solid, yet slim, design that can withstand being dropped or drowned, A close-to-stock Android experience, with a few Sony tweaks, Big, beautiful battery – 2330 mAh that
  • Inexplicable lag when typing, whether using Sony's keyboard or the stock Android 4.2 keyboard, Colours on screen wash out unless you're looking at the display straight-on, Some of the built-in apps, modified by Sony, are ugly. Calendar is a good example,
  • Sony aimed to bring the wow with the Xperia Z. How wow was it?You know what? This is a really hard call. The Xperia Z is a phone that I actually want to really like. It has some great features which for me just make bits and pieces of life easier. One-tou...
