 REVIEW
1.DISPLAY- 10/10
For the first time sony introduced Trimilunos display for a mid range mobile and its awesome even having low ppi(~ 250) the display is simply great perfect combination of contrast brightness and crystal clear sharpness.great to watch movies and playing games in 6" screen.
2. HARDWARE - 8.5/10
1.4 Ghz S400 performs quit impressive no hangs no lags before i was using a mediatek but snapdragon does well as compare to Mediatek. I don't know why people run out for high end phones like 2.3 ghz processor just think about it if you are buying phone for normal daily usage believe me <1.2 Ghz quadcore is morethan enough. 1 GB ram is a little disappointed but its not that bad you will always have ~400 mb free sony interface is not using so much memory like samsung. 8 GB internal you will have ~4.7 GB user memory but the sad part is that you can't transfer the App and Games to SD card.so u cant have more than 1 big game at a time but I am expecting this update in 4.4 which sony is going to release in July. It supports USB otg u can directly mount USB storage without any third party app. 3000 mah battery is more than enough for 1-1.5 days heavy usage but it takes too much time for full charging. External speaker is a little low and I faced some problem in mic also some times your vice is not audible to person at other side might be network issue :(
3. SOFTWARE - 9/10
When comes to software sony did well in this all the software that is there in hi end Z series phones is also there in T2.Bravia engine is good no need of any customization u will get a bunch of useful software's. The default music Walkman player is not that good but you can use third party apps like Poweramp(It's worth) for better experience other wise root and use VIPER (I don't think you need it :P )
4. CAMERA - 6/10
In this part we expect a lot from sony specially for 13MP exmor but it's not upto expectations. day light is ok but night is worst. camera app is very slow u need patience to take a good pic also in auto mode u can take upto 9MP pics only manual mode allows 13MP shooting.One good thing about camera app is that it integrates the third party apps and other features like background defocus and burst shots are good.All you can say its better than 8MP cam but not like 13MP. I installed some apps for camera and its doing well its a software issue(same cam is used in HTC Desire 816 which performs good) which sony said that they are working and will provide in kitkat update.Also front facing is 1.2MP only a little disappointed for selfies :P
5. OS - 9/10
4.3 Jelly bean - If you are using sony u dont have to bother about android versions only thing is that you can't install some apps which only works in 4.4(like Google camera) nothing else. Obviously you will get time to time updates like sony promised 4.4 in july and for other apps you will get regular updates l got updates for walkman , album , movies.
6. BENCHMARKS- 9/10.
Antutu - 19000 - 20000 (above average)
Quadrant - 9000-10000 (equivalent to MOTO X)
Nenamark - 56-58 (above average)
In this part it performs well you expect this from snapdragon and its great in terms of benchmarks.
7. GAMING - 9/10.
Yes like all sony mobiles you can play all Games :) I tried asphalt 7,8 , fifa14 , real racing , nova 3, GTA and all are playing smoothly only thing is that you can't move games to SD so at max you can have 2 games. The thing is that its feel awesome to play in big screen its really fun.
8. BUILD QUALITY - 10/10.
It feels awesome yes for the people who says that 6" is big use it then you will not like other phones. Build quality is great back panel is glassy ,slim it really feel great in hand.
 
All after using one month I can say I have no regrets. If you are looking for a phone ~25K with big entertainment then this phone is for you only competitor is DESIRE 816 which have better specs but recently launched so don't have so much information but it's sony and believe me in 23K you are getting so much from Sony.
