Verdict :

The screen size is precise and Multitouch is just awesome with 10 fingers. There is a 4.3 inch TRILUMINOS™ Display for the mobile with X-Reality™ for mobile picture engine 16,777,216 colours, 1280x720 pixels.
Sony is known for its camera quality and it will not disappoint you with this one. 20.7mp is more than enough, although the secondary camera could have been 5mp.

The processor is snapdragon 800  which is the best till date so it scores full marks (or rather 9.5) there.

It comes with Jellybean 4.3 out of the box with guaranteed update to Kitkat 4.4.2 from Sony.

Our word is that this phone offers premium Xperia features for a slightly lower price than that of Xperia Z1. We think that buying this will be a good option only if you are an xperia addict. For the same price there is much better available from other vendors.
