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

Making it smudgy
The screen suffers from glare in bright light and both the screen and the back of the handset attract fingerprint marks

You may have noticed that one of the pages that's traditionally part of a long-term review is missing. That's not a mistake, we didn't forget to write up our 'Frustrations, niggles, annoyances'. It's just that all of our peeves have been covered in the re...
Those of you who've been following us for some time might have noticed that we've rarely praised a Sony phone camera. They make the sensors for most smartphones, they have some of the best dedicated cameras - why can't they make a proper smartphone camera...

Chubby and slippery, No 3.5mm audio jack, The selfie camera has been downgraded, Capturing slow-mo videos is rather difficult, Camera lacks OIS, while the Intelligent Active Steady Shot stabilization is still limited to 1080p@30fps videos, What can be sai

So that’s the Sony Xperia XZ2 and it’s properly exciting. We like the idea of its bog-standard HD video being upscaled with HDR, and having a dedicated camera ISP could make a real difference to photos...
Abstract: Unlike many of its big-brand competitors, Sony didn't shy away from major announcements at MWC 2018. In fact, it took the wrappers of a shiny new pair of flagships, that boldly marry new design concepts with incremental hardware updates.In many ways, the...
