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

  • 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

  • Abstract:  On lifting the Sony Xperia Z out of its unusually square box, I was pleasantly surprised by the device's high quality look and feel. With an entirely tempered glass back and sides, the phone doesn't look cheap and plastic in any way, unlike the Samsung Ga...

  • Excellent picture, Detailed, punchy sound, Solid build, Attractive design, Quick in use
  • Poor viewing angles, Feel is up to personal taste, Blacks could be richer
  • Leaner and meaner than previous Sony handsets, it's in its practical aspects that the Xperia Z really shines: a 16GB device with expandable storage to make room for all those HD downloads, a waterproof chassis and a battery Stamina mode that means your ...

  • Full HD display looks stunning, Water and dust resistant, Classical design, Refined UI, Fantastic camera UI
  • Port flaps can be annoying, Call quality isn't great, Mediocre battery life, Camera images are heavily processed, Gets hot with HD movies and 3D games
  • Striking, hardy and handsome. The Sony Xperia Z is the first of 2013's big players. Expected to consist of the HTC One, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Apple iPhone 5S, it's imperative that all four of these phones, be better than the best of 2012.Sony's ul...

  • The Xperia Z is a great phone, with great software, great hardware and a great design that is just lagging behind the competition thanks to a poor choice of screen. If I hadn't recently used the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 I would probably not have noti...
