An amazing product from Sony raising the bar for phablets
Pros:
1. The Snapdragon processor
2. The Adreno 330 GPU
3. The battery durability.
4. The screen size.
Cons:
1. The screen size.
2. Hangs now and then.
3. Camera
4. The PPI
Summary:
I'm an avid movie watcher, gamer and a shutter bug. This phone is definitely a big bonus for the first two things. The crystal clear images it delvers are unparalleled.



The Snapdragon processor can virtually handle anything you can throw at it. The GPU is also a class apart. It can go on playing HD videos and Graphics hungry games as long as the battery lasts, and it won't even flinch.



Which brings me to the next aspect, the battery life. The humongous 3050mAh battery packed in this one will deliver you a typical full days life no matter what you do it. I can personally vouch for the battery life because I have used it for 3.5 days on full charge with Stamina mode.



The screen size mentioned above can be both an advantage and a disadvantage at times. It's 6.4 inches of sheer crystal clear imagery. It's a movie junkie's dream due to the images it delivers and a gamer's paradise, though it's tough to handle at times, it has it's moments where you just want to kiss it!!



The hanging problem is prevalent with all smartphones, and this is no exception, but according to my observation, it hangs far lesser than a certain very popular South Korean brand ;-)



I'm also a shootaholic. I like to take pictures of almost everything I see. Though Sony have delivered an above average camera, my only question to them is How could you forget to put an LED flash on a premium smartphone like this one?!? As there is no flash, forget about taking pictures at clubs and parties. One savior for the camera though is that when the light is right, the images are as sharp as a knife.



The PPI is another drawback of this phone. Though it doesn't hamper much, you would expect it to be a bit higher than 340PPI.



My final word: If you like to carry around your T.V and Laptop wherever you go, i think you'll find this phone as your perfect companion, just like me.
