    Overall solid premium android device, however, it lacks 4k video resolution and a fingerprint scanner. Despite these shortcomings, this is phone comes second place to the note 7 I previously owned.

    I've had the phone for about one month and it has been awesome. Cámara is great in low light environments in comparison with the iPhone. The only problem I found was the speaker, great sound quality but the volume is not enough. Besides that no problem at all so far.

    I like Sony products and really enjoyed the Ericsson line when Sony had them out, now the xperia line seems to be improving greatly, I like their water resistance, good design, great camera and very good performance

    Great Alternative to Apple and Samsung

    Great product for those who don't want to follow the crowd with the same boring black or white iPhone or Samsung product. Screen looks great and Sony's android interface doesn't bloat or slow things down. All applications I didn't want I could easily disable. Haven't had any issues with this phone in the several months I've had it. I switched to the European ROM very easily to get the fingerprint sensor working, absolutely no drawback to doing this. Does it have the processing speed to handle the newest graphic intense mobile games? Perhaps not, but it handled the few casual games I have on it (think PvZ2, etc) very quickly. Can handle multiple tabs open in chrome and other programs open at the same time, Sure would be nice to see Sony make something at a bit more competitive price to provide a real alternative to the latest boring Apple and Samsung models, but time will tell. Lots of compliments too from coworkers and strangers alike who often seem surprised to see a phone they don't see everyday. Highly recommended especially as the price drops.

    Good Camera Good Specification Ok Battery. Cons: After 7.1.1 Update battery does not stay long. Before Update i use to get 1.5 to 2 days battery after update only 14 to 18 hours. Camera is ok my Nexus 5x takes better pictures than this one. 4K Video Recording is joke. because we need use another app to Record 4K phone gets heat quickly while recording video in 4K. ISO 12800 is a false information.

    I am an all-time high Sony user for many years now, and device really disappointed me. The design is beautiful, but that's about it. It could not hold a charge for even half of a day, it ran hot a lot and it froze on me way to much for almost 700 dllr smartphone. And that's without mentioning the lack of fingerprint sensor support, returned it in less than a week to the best buy. Really disappointed by Sony, I was really looking forward to this phone.

    Really wanted to use an alternative to Samsung or Apple so I picked this up. Absolutely beautiful phone. Total pleasure to hold and use. My problem came in setting up a Microsoft account and accessing Microsoft cloud services on this device. I could not get this work after days of troubleshooting--nor could Best Buy geek squad support for that matter. Had to return it.

    Most people dont use Sony phones, but this one is solid. It has a fantastic camera and lens for a cellphone. It is light, but a bit small for guys with big thumbs.

    The XZ is a great phone especially if you are tired of having to get the newest galaxy. Awesome pics even better if you use manual, and the UI is less complex too. Great purchase.
