It feels big and wide, although thanks to also being rather tall as well it manages to balance pretty nicely in the hand. It’s also cool to the touch, with the aluminium sides giving your hand the odd chill when it’s been out on a table for a while.
Sony’s also stuck with its idea of putting the power button on the side of the phone a little above the middle, meaning it’s easy to find and naturally appears where your fingers tend to sit when holding a phone of this size.
But being so slim and smooth has you worrying. Putting it in a pocket makes you stress that it’s so slick it’s surely only a matter of time before it somehow works itself up and out onto the floor.
But that’s not happened to me yet. I am probably just worrying too much. It encourages you to worry, as it’s such a large lump of a phone you’re always aware of its presence.
