    1 year later and still loving it! Super slim 16x9 display, HDR still current in 2022. Have this without a case and it is gorgeous. Battery still holds charge all day a year later. Almost stock android with sony perks.

    One of the best phones I've ever had. Super fast and responsive. The camera is excellent and very sharp. Literally like shooting on an Alpha series camera. The sound quality is excellent and supports a lot of codecs, hifi sound for sure. The 4k oled screen is fantastic, it's like having an oled tv in your pocket. Really comfortable phone. The battery life is outstanding as well for having a 4k screen. Too many things to list, really outstanding phone.

    This phone is amazing, from the 4K display, to the Snapdragon 865, expandable storage, beautiful design, professional camera, and they even brought back the headphone jack for that amazing HD audio. Even without 5G in the states (which could change with firmware) this is an amazing device. I highly recommend it.

    A great phone. I got this to replace a phone I had broken while in the process of moving. The phone is responsive, has plenty of storage space, a great camera, and it has solid battery life. It is a little bit on the pricey side, but that is to be expected with a flagship caliber phone.

    I have owned Sony phones since they started using 4K displays years ago. My last phone the Xperia XZ2 Premium was great but had some flaws. Battery power was not the best, no headphone jack, heavy and thick, no wireless charging (though the phone before that the Xperia Z5 Premium did have it), the finger print reader was on the back of the phone and not on the power button like the Z5. This Xperia 1 II fixed all those issues. Battery lasts all day. Form and fit of the phone is great in my hand. The phone charges in all the wireless chargers that fit the Samsung phones. It would take a huge upgrade in the future to make me want to give up this phone. I also want to say that I am impressed with Sony devices and their service. Over the years I have gotten Android software upgrades before most other manufacturers did (sometimes by many months) and Sony firmware updates come at a regular clip too. This phone is not for everyone. The cost is high and the form and fit is a personal thing that may not work for everyone either. For me I would not trade it in for anything.

    Sony has made one heck of a device here. The design is conservative yet elegant, a beautiful display although i wish it were a bit brighter and the camera if you are a tinkerer this is device for you. If the price were a bit lower it would be a better value

    Sony always goes under the radar with their phones. Almost a bit disappointing that people don't pay more attention when Sony releases a phone. The 4K HDR screen is definitely the best for any smart phone. But the biggest strength regarding this phone is the camera. To be able to record 4K HDR, at 60fps is incredible. The phone is able to do this as it has two versions of a camera. The normal Android camera for smart phones, but then it also has a pro camera, that acts as a 4K recorder and DSLR camera. The settings and adjustments are a bit overwhelming, but are amazing once you understand how it works.

    Good camera; not so good sound system. Loudspeakers have low volume and even at middle settings the whole telephone case resonates like a drum - not good at all. Access to files not obvious or fast.

    Still adjusting to the new form factor but so far an exceptional experience in most of the meaningful ways. The display is wonderful and the sound quality is amazing. Most of my current issues revolve around apps that do not have a native ratio or adjustment for this style of display.

    I was looking for a phone with the following: Large screen, great battery, best camera, water resistant 1p65/68, Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, MicroSDXC up to 1TB, wireless charging, top bezels. This phone supports and provides all the features I was looking for. The phone is super fast, smooth. The sound quality and visual quality is top-notch, excellent for watching movies, music videos, creating and editing your own videos. I am still learning how to use this phone, but so far this is my favorite phone.

    This phone has excellent performance, cameras are great if you know what you're doing, this is not a phone for amateur photographers. You can use this as a point and shoot but the most potential is with the Pro apps! Highly recommend.

    Sony is almost there to Smartphone Perfection...

    This product is good and I am fairly surprised that Sony doesn’t not get any real attention when it comes to smartphone market. They have been making strides in recent years to rival bigger phone companies. I used this phone for a good amount but the 21:9 is the only thing that threw me off. Having to watch almost every single thing with black bars on the sides was not a comfortable experience & the other option was to zoom in the image which was unsatisfactory as well for me personally. That is with out getting into the $1299 price tag.
