Conclusion
Overall this device is a good for the people looking for a phablet smartphone with good sets of camera but Sony has compromised in some fields like battery, chip-set. Considering it’s a 6 inch smartphone, 2700 mAh battery is definitely very low and a Snapdragon chip-set would have been better to see. However the design and build of this phone is really amazing, this phone looks very premium and the border-less display is like icing on the cake. Although the price of this smartphone will decide how worth this device is.
