The editors didn't like
Bulky
Compared to other phones with 5” displays
Mediocre loudspeaker
Disappointing screen
Top layer of screen scratches easily
Low loud speaker volume
Display is a clear step behind the competition
Ergonomics leave room for improvement
Software is not as up to date as the hardware
Sony's custom UI skin can prove annoying
Pricey
large phone
large bezels
still not perfect screen viewing angles (though improved over past models)
poor camera software (especially manual mode)
camera produces a lot of noise
Display quality is behind other top devices as is the software package that brings nothing interesting to the table. Lacks the feeling of a complete package
Despite its strengths.
Slight color shading occasionally noticeable
Excessive exposure time under 20 lux (beneath 1/10s where rivals stop at 1/15s)
And possible source of motion blur
Strong ringing artifacts
Lowcontrast details smoothed slightly in low light conditions
That has bad viewing angle stability and a high black value

No. That screen is a deal-breaker. For all its many great points, with that screen, I cant recommend anyone should spend more than Rs. 20,000 for this phone. Given that the Z1 is twice the price, and unlikely that it will ever come down to those levels...
