We’ve always had a soft spot for Sony’s design - that obsession with black plastic and solid straight lines that somehow has come to embody design from the Japanese gadget giant.And while last year’s flagship Xperia S was just a bit too thick to compete
There’s no such problem here
This slick slab is just 7.9mm deep. Its large size isn’t for everyone - iPhone owners especially will struggle to

Price or performance
Section of this review
The viewing angle isn't as high as other smartphones but that in no way means it suffers from a poor viewing angle. Even the uncomfortable width and thickness of the handset is not something which would deter me from owning one
A
Poor battery
Not a lot of storage space for the high price tag
Disappointing battery life
Hefty dustloving body won’t suit everyone
Sony bloatware
Disappointing Socialife app.
Display
Low contrast
Finger smudging.
Photo quality less than the best
Speaker location
All ports under flaps
Mediocre battery life
Gets warm with intensive use
The size will defeat some smaller hands and the waterproof socket covers are necessary but fiddly
Port flaps can be annoying
Call quality isn't great
Camera images are heavily processed
Gets hot with HD movies and 3D games
Screen is a bit disappointing when compared to other screens
No dedicated camera button
Waterproof flaps can be a pain at times
Below average battery life in use
Bulky dustlovin’ design isn’t for everyone
Sony bloatware and halfbaked Socialife app
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
Camera performance is average
Might be too big for some
Non removable battery
Software bugs
Fair warning
While we like it
You might hate the design. If you prefer the sleek curves of the HTC One X’ chassis
The boxy look of the Xperia Z may be the very opposite of what you’re after.The waterproof doors also add some unnecessary clutter
If you don’t think you’re likely to take your phone swimming anytime soon
You might hate the extra fuss of having to prise open a flap every time you

Full HD screen, Interesting design, LTE enabled, Good performance and fast when you need it to be, Water and dust resistant, microSD card onboard
So-so camera, Onboard speaker not loud enough, very few extra features apart from the rest of the Android offerings, Boxy design does not sit well in hand

Its been a while since we've seen waterproof handsets, so the Xperia Z is definitely a welcome addition. In fact, it's the only high-end phone to be IP57 compliant. The Xperia Z is undoubtedly better than its cousin ZL. The device offers smooth UI and gr...
