Sony Xperia

Nice design ; Can hear the world around you

Hard to put in ; Functionality not proven yet

It's far too early to pass judgement on these new wearables, but while they're still largely pointless at this stage the direction Sony is taking – making wearable accessories more useful and attractive – is a great thing to see.

Impressive camera for price ; Expensive-looking design ; STAMINA battery mode

Sharp bezel ; Unresponsive touchscreen ; No Bravia Engine display tech

Great screen ; Powerful processor ; Fast camera

Lack of expandable memory ; Chunky depth ; Disappointing battery life

Accurate voice recognition ; Battery life is decent enough ; Subtle styling

Slow to respond ; Too pricey if you don’t need the extra functions

Sony’s in-ear AI butler looks and feels good, but unless your hands are constantly full, isn’t yet ready to run your life

Typical Sony minimalism with better ergonomics ; Practically flawless performance ; Sony’s UI still pleases (even without Nougat underneath)

Screen colours are overblown ; Very average speakers ; Camera doesn’t live up to the specs

Low on bristling high-tech excitement, but when the also-rans are this good, you know you’re spoilt

Great big screen is great for movies ; Loves bath time ; Oodles of power ; Sexy looks

Poor camera ; ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE

A super-sized premium phablet that’ll happily replace your smartphone and tablet in one fell swoop
