The editors didn't like
Still bezel-heavy
Fingerprint scanner placement terrible
Camera not working yet
Camera not as good as rivals
Lots of duplicate apps
The Xperia XZ2 has a dated look
Despite Sony's redesign. Software features
Such as 3D face scanning
Aren't very useful. The placement of the fingerprint sensor makes it too easy to press the camera lens instead
Camera app a bit muddled
Battery life isn't the best
No 3.5mm jack
Camera still not as good as the competition
No headphone jack
Design not as desirable as rivals
Dynamic Vibration a gimmick
'Only' full HD display
Bezels are pronounced
3D Creator tool is janky
Fingerprint magnet
Apps sometimes force close
Camera app can be slow
Buggy
Features don't stand out
Design is flawed
Design is much bulkier and heavier than previous versions
Pricey

The fingerprint sesnor is too far down the back of the smartphone your finger naturally rests across the camera lens
Making it smudgy
The screen suffers from glare in bright light and both the screen and the back of the handset attract fingerprint marks

Glossy all-glass design, Perfect performance, Proficient but simple camera
Display can eat battery life, Inconsequential unique features, Awkward fingerprint reader placement, The Galaxy S9 exists
The Xperia XZ2 has a number of desirable characteristics, but it's far from perfect. All that glass looks and feels beautiful, even if the fingerprint reader placement is a little off. The main camera takes pictures rich in detail and color. The HDR displ...

Fantastic camera, Slick media machine, Super-smooth performance
No facial recognition, Dynamic Vibration kind of pointless
Sony's first flagship phone of 2018 serves up a fresh new design as well as refining the overall user experience. This shiny beast doesn't care if it's thicker or heavier than other premium blowers. Instead it concentrates on serving up a slick media expe...

Fingerprint scanner is awkwardly placed, Phone is heavy and slippery, No headphone jack, Front camera is a downgrade vs Xperia XZ1, Does not work on Verizon or Sprint
