    It's been working well since I bought it. The only problem I had was getting a nano Sim card. After a visit to the att store everything was resolved. Takes great pictures. Video quality is great. I don't play games so I won't comment about that.

    Considering this was not too expensive, this phone have a lot of great features compared to the other phones in the same price range. Fast boot time and great display. Great battery life as well and it looks sleek!

    Can't get used to the keyboard. The touch screen isn't very sensitive, you REALLY have to hit the buttons.. Overall, great phone, I was just stuck on my old phone. Camera is okay, but it seems to edit my photos automatically. Settings are difficult to change

    Designed by people who have never held a cell phone. Get cramps holding it trying to avoid awkwardly placed buttons. Second time getting this far when first time hit something and got kicked out. Would not buy again despite good camera and 6 inch screen and $250 price

    This phone has one of the best displays at this price point, best camera, and overall best appearance and feel. However only 3gb or ram and only 16gb storage really holds this phone back. Even with an aftermarket microsd card, most apps now days are not able to be put on the SD card, besides photos and games. It will fill up very very fast. Also a grip is it runs old Android 6.0 with a possible update sometime in it's future. This is a solid 3 star smart phone for value. I replaced this phone with the slightly smaller Moto G5 64gb storage version with 4gb of ram running newer Android 7.0 out of the box and prefer the Moto over this Sony.

    Battery life is MUCH better now that its running nougat. Camera is pretty good but shutter speed is slow It is a LARGE phone so one handed operation is very limited. I still have not tested its water resisting capabilities

    The phone is slightly larger than my iPhone 6plus. It's still small enough to fit in my pant pockets. I plan to use it out of the country and pop-in a SIM card, so I won't know if it actually work out of the country until then.

    For the price this is a great phone with a big clear screen. The only problem I have is the case is slippery and slides out of your hands easily. Get a case right away.

    I bought this phone for my 70 year old mother and step father. This is their first smart phone, but they are up to date on texting and using computers and still had trouble figuring this phone's features. There is very little included in the packaging, and when I went online to find youtube videos, the reviewers seem to be foreigners with thick accents that are difficult to understand. I am surprised Best Buy could not help them with a tutorial. I am also surprised Sony doesn't have one online. My step father ended up returning his phone and went back to his flip phone. My mother is still struggling, but determined to figure it out.

    The phone was great in the beginning although it only had 16GB of storage the microsd slot was a bonus only if more apps on Android can go to SD this phone would be better.

    So yes i did some research online, went to local stores and even called one of the telcos just to gather more info. Two of my very close pals own a Sony XPERIA but the previous model. Like most smartphones nowadays, it's always with the battery issue. The signal depends with the telcos and your location. I got mine at a local Bestbuy store and talked extensively with their smartphone geek. I was sold out ! Enjoying my new Sony White XPERIA XA Ultra 4G LTE with 16GB Memory Cell Unlocked Phone. So far no issues at all. Highly recommended especially if on sale. Thank you.
