Indeed and then there's their 21:9 aspect ratios screens instead of the weird half assed ones that are 19:9 or 20:9 and not to mention their new battery care tech that allows the phone to bypass the battery when plugged in to use the power cord to run a power intensive application, yet almost no "big" reviewers talk about but when it is included on the other major brands everyone will praise them

The problem with the Xperia Z is that there are only reviews with the very first onboard software. Since the phone has been around for more than 1 and a half years, there have been some MAJOR updates, all covering the issues that everybody claimed in the beginning. For example, the sound quality of the internal speaker has been highly improved by adding the features "Clear Phase(TM)" and "xLOUD(TM)". Sony really did its homework and tried to improve as much as possible on their former flagship Xperia Z. It would be interesting to do a comparison video "old software vs. new software on Xperia Z".

I have had the Sony Experia Z for some time now, and I cannot fault it. I am looking to upgrade it soon to a Sony Experia Z3. I would always stick by Sony products as they have never let me down yet - unlike Apple. They are sleek, sexy-looking, and performance-wise, I cannot fault them. One more thing to add is that this review is old. All of the issues that you have come across with this device, have been solved - due to software upgrades. The device has been around for quite a long time now, and Sony have solved all of the problems you have mentioned here. The device is a top-quality product - much more better than Apple Iphone 6. And those who purchase this product will not be disappointed. One very last point. I have accidentally dropped this phone more than once, and it is as tough as nails. Not one mark on it. I was expecting the glass display to shatter, but nothing at all. So, it is not only beautiful but very tough and rugged too. I would NOT RECOMMEND DROPPING IT, I am just saying that I dropped it through being careless. However, it still works as good as new.

I wouldn't recommend one of these at all. In the two years I've had mine it's been replaced once due to a faulty power button, the gaskets on the flaps have failed meaning they no longer close meaning it's not water resistant, the lag is just awful all of the time, software updates have been slow and very buggy killing the battery, the screen is disappointing beside a Samsung, and it was very expensive. I'll never get a Sony phone again.

Damien McGrath - I have to agree with you. This is my 3rd Xperia Z after returning the other 2 to T-Mobile. They claim I have to pay $318 for water damage after I returned it due to the gasket and flap falling off. I returned it all with original condition and although they claim it is water resistance, it must not be able to handle "humidity". My guess anyways.

This phone is 18 months old and scratched to bits but it's still the fastest android phone I've ever used. After my crappy, Laggy, overheating, bad battery life original xperia z this really is a surprise even with all the apps now added same as the Note 4. I've never seen such fast non apple phone. The only reason ill go back to my lagging Samsung is the amoled screen and stylus versatility which I love.

My father owned a xperia z a few years ago. The perk of it being waterproof and taking it to swimming pools was amazing. It also recieved latest Android updates. It was running smoothly until it's screen broke. While putting on a screen protector. Yeah. The screen was replaced for around $150 and then the back glass broke. Then my father bought a new phone since the screen was also not as good as the original. But 1 thing for sure, the Xperia Z is a polished product.

TFT (Thin film transistor) exists in LCD and AMOLED screen, the display used by xperia z is "TN TFT LCD", actually TN (Twisted Nematic)is the first generation of the LCD, when displaying white, the liquid crystal will try to let as much light to pass the screen, when displaying black,the liquid crystals will try to block as much light as it can, to display black. The screen we normally seen are TFT IPS LCD, IPS= (In Plane Switching) IPS improved contrast ratio and viewing angle, compared to TN.

Twisted Nematic. It's a type of display used in early LCDs mainly used on mobile phones before 2010. Just for comparison, it's the same panel that's implemented on the first iPhone in 2007. LCD panels that are not IPS are mostly TN.

Love your review, just one thing: the speaker on the Z is on the side, on the opposite side where your mic was in the "music benchmark" and also it has to be water resistant, this means it probably don't let water go inside and air (music) outside easily. So, you're right, it depends on what we want from a phone.

Also from a screen purists point of view, it's not all about whether you can see the screen from a certain degree or not. It's about how good the overall screen quality is and the technology behind it.
