Good one

My score: Overall 9.5/10

-My English isn't perfect.
-In overall this is a good phone at this price.
The phone is fast and responsive, but not always.
-Cameras aren't as good as I expected.

If budget isn't your problem, you better go with Xperia Z [I pre-ordered this before i know Xperia Z]

Build quality 9/10 -Scratches and marks all over the place without using protective case +I love the side buttons they are easy to reach +The screen are not too big, the entire screen can be reached when using only 1 hand

Reception 10/10

Call quality 10/10

Internet 10/10 +Fast!

Multimedia 10/10 -Stock Music player and Movie player are nowhere near feature-rich. +1080p Playback are smooth. +Other stuff are smooth. +Great graphic processor

Camera 9/10 +Great quality: 13MP pics & 1080p videos +HDR +Good Macro Capability: can focus objects at very close. [closer than 10 cm] -Medium Noises at indoor/medium light. -A lot of noises at night/low light. -JPEG compression is horrible and it can't be changed. only 2MB per picture -Pictures aren't very detailed when zoomed. -Digital zoom is stupid, quality is very bad when zoomed. -Auto focus can be annoying sometime. -No manual focus and touch to focus is not as responsive as I expected. -Quick launch takes 1.5-2.5 seconds.. not 1 second as advertised

UI speed 9/10 -Some delay when entering some apps, especially camera.

Everyday usage 10/10

Text input 10/10 *I don't use stock keyboard, but I guess it is all the same? -Native chinese and japanese keyboard which can't disabled.

Display 10/10 +Awesome 720p display at high ppi *Not super bright, but it is bright enough.

Battery 9/10 *Not bad, not best. +It can survive my day with wifi always on and few hours of net surf & FB without needing to be recharged during the day.

Pros

• Fast 1.5GHz Dual Core + 1GB Ram
• SD Card slot
• Above average camera 13MP & 1080p
• Decent battery
• Fast Internet, 4G
• Nice 720p display + high ppi
• Fast Graphic Processor, I have never experienced a FPS drop in any game.

Cons

• Freezes and auto-restart. Not common, but not rare.
• Android 4.0.4 it has already been a few months and still no 4.1 for me
• Camera not as good as expected, but still a good camera.
• Easy and highly visible[mine is black model] scratch marks without protective case.
