    Nice phone, but this phone has no face id login feature, on right hand buttons control not comfortable. also Bank of America app after login always pops that screen overlay detected contacted customer service and APP services no solution it never happened with me with old phones. Outside in sunlight screen brightness is very low, flashlight is very dim compare to my old Samsung phone

    Barely 1 month since purchase and I’m already experiencing phone network issues. I had been using a Samsung note 8 until I switched to Xperia. 1st couple weeks worked just fine then suddenly having issues sending out messages, making & receiving calls. I keep having to reset network settings. This is not a carrier network issue becoz both my other lines under same network carrier work just fine. I’m very disappointed with this phone esp considering how much it costs. I’ll definitely be returning it.

    Absolutely love this phone. I did get a bad piece of Gorilla Glass though as the screen was easily damaged. Old Xperia glass was tough as nails.

    The screen was not bright enough during the day. The dual front facing speakers were not louf enough. The stock colors of the screen made videos look a little off. Loved the idea, but wish it was about 300 to 400 bucks cheaper.

    It has really great sound quality which is one of the reasons why I bought it But for some reason the camera quality isn't that good I feel the software that they're using The picture gets very dark when you zoom in and it turns like a bluish fuzzy Haze I think that needs to be seriously addressed And I'm surprised because Sony makes cameras that doesn't having so many problems

    This is the only phone I have ever owned that consistently changes networks. Drops signals all time keeps on switching like crazy. And the camera processing software is very bad. Terrible picture processing.
