It is the best android phone on the market, Sony Rocks

Best sony mobile ever. Except for the batter life, mobile is good in terms for performance, low light photography and pretty much everything.

Happy with this phone. Had it for 2 years now and haven't had any problems with it so far.

Sony has manufactured a smart, handy phone with great picture quality.

You have to have this! Unlike Apple and Samsung it's a reliable phone with great features. A must have!!

The camera was not as good as a Samsung phone or IPhone. The sound was so low, I couldn’t hear the person on the other end of the line. I had to return the phone and got an iPhone 8 instead

Slightly smaller than the Xperia Z5, but lacks all the fancy features in the Z5 Premium.

So far I love it. It is a very good phone especially I got it when I was on sale

This review turned out a lot longer than originally thought but this is a big purchase so I did not want to miss anything and wanted to share my experience with you. I know I would appreciate what I have to say below :) I bought this phone to replace my 4.5 year-old lg optimus that had grown outdated but still was in great working condition. As I have an iPhone for work and do not care for it much, I researched phones heavily this past year and narrowed it down to making the tough choice between the Xperia XZ and the Galaxy s7 Edge. Since I was finally getting a new phone I did not just want to get the one everyone said was the 'best', I wanted to put my money towards the phone that would provide me with a unique experience with top of the line specs and I am very happy I went with the Xperia XZ. First off the phone is beautiful. Many online reviews said this phone was not particularly attractive to non-Sony Phone buyers and after having the phone for a few weeks I respectfully disagree. Maybe it is just the Forest Blue color, but I have repeatedly been asked what kind of phone I had while at work or in-line in stores by people who think the phone is "really cool" or in another case "super cute". It is a design/color that seems to appeal to a lot of people. I thought I would have a problem with the increase in screen size from my old phone, but I am a tall guy with big hands and have no problem reaching the entire screen with my thumb while holding it in one hand. My girlfriend uses two hands but she does so with her iPhone as well so I would not hold that against the Xperia but just thought I would note it because the one hand use was important to me. As for the phone itself I have no complaints. Again I note the age of my old phone, so any phone would probably be a nice change in speed and such, but it was very easy to transfer my old data to the XZ and it is incredibly quick and responsive when using apps. The display is stunning with excellent color contrast. The camera takes excellent pictures, haven't tried too many selfies but scenes look great and capture motion very well. I am a big fan of the camera shutter button and notification light, quick charge is nice. The battery goes a day of occasionally gaming and internet browsing once you fine-tune the settings. I was initially upset about the lack of the fingerprint scanner but I saw the hardware for it is on the US version and you can enable with a little software work around, but it will void the warranty so I have not gotten around to trying that yet. But honestly with the smart-lock and security settings, the phone is unlocked whenever it is near me so it is really not a big deal at all. The Lifelog and Xperia Lounge apps are cool and provide great exercise feedback and free perks respectively. I am also happy to report the water proofing does work to at least some degree as the first thing I did when I received the phone was run it under the sink for a while and it worked no problem. I am a big Sony fan so I was very interested to see how it faired remote playing my ps4. Once I paired my controller with my phone it was smooth sailing and playing Dark Souls was far easier than I expected it would be. I did not try playing online multiplayer through remote play yet but even with my Vita that can be very leggy so I expect it would be similar with the XZ. In conclusion, I love my other Sony products and am happy to have the Xperia XZ join that list of awesome products. I disagree with the professional reviews about the phones appearance design wise as well as their BIG issue with lack of fingerprint reader. It's design seems to draw lots of appeal in my experience and is a welcome change to the similarly designed Galaxy, iPhone, and Pixel. The phone is definitely not cheap, but if you are looking to upgrade your old phone and want to put your money towards a phone that is at the very least equivalent to if not better than the other flagship phones out there in addition to catching peoples attention and providing a more unique experience, than the Xperia XZ is the perfect choice. As I said my old phone was outdated and I am a big Sony fan so I may be bias, but comparing this to my friends new galaxy and my girlfriends iPhone 6s, I know I made the right choice going with the Xperia XZ. As an added note, I will say finding special cases will be hard for the XZ as it is not a very common phone, but if you get the Forest Blue I would recommend a clear color because the phone looks great as is.

the phone was ok, one day it run of battery and never started again. Talked to the Sony costumer support and they requested to send the phone back for repair, I did this but I received the phone unpaired, due to physical damage!!! I called them and they told me that they don't have any more information except that the phone broke due to costumer abuse!!! The phone didn't fall and wasn't any close to any water, they didn't give me any more information and they didn't even tell me what's wrong with phone!! They said they will call me back with more details, will be waiting

I love Sony phones, and I'm coming off of the Xperia z3, so that's what I'm comparing xz to. As far as build quality I think the z3 has it, there's a lot of plastic in the xz. The xz is also missing the first radio and I miss the magnetic charger but the xz is far superior in a few areas. The screen on the xz blows the z3 away and the xz is way faster. They both feel close as far as battery life goes.
