For Those Who'd Rather Carry a Camera Than a Phone
This phone is fantastic for a content creator that is familiar with photography principals. The RAW files it gives from all of its sensors are very usable and Sony's special photo/video apps are fantastic. You are not going to get the best out of it just shooting JPG; it really shines when you treat it as a camera--taking your photos into Lightroom/Capture One/etc. and giving them the time of day. This is a FANTASTIC tool for someone who wants to learn photography, as it not only encourages you to figure out how to do everything yourself, it has great built-in tutorials in both photography and videography using the phone. As mentioned, the apps are a far cry from the stock Android camera app. They show the real purpose behind the phone's display having a 21:9 aspect ratio: you get the full viewfinder, full controls (including a simulated wheel for adjusting shutter speed and ISO--this works well), and your mode dial/lens switching. The physical shutter button is very welcome and, for me, makes using the phone as a camera feel much better than tapping the display. It is all very intuitive if you are familiar with how cameras work. The cinematography app is extremely impressive. It creates directories and keeps the framerate/resolution the same for the whole project while giving you all of your settings right on the screen, as the photo app. The ability to preset and smoothly rack focusing is just...it's just so well implemented. Just plain awesome. If you just need to get a basic snap of a schedule or a quick video, or need to hand the phone off, there is a Basic mode that replicates the Android camera app. Image consistency between the four focal lengths is very good--it maintains color balance well despite using three different sensors of very different sizes and, despite the 16 and 70/105mm (equiv) lenses being noticeably weaker than the 24mm main shooter, moving between them isn't particularly jarring. I didn't find all but the main sensor to be essentially useless as I have in other phones. Other Quick Mentions: -Dual sim, with SIM2 slot doubling as a microSD card holder. The sim slot comes out without using tools, so you can slot the microSD into your computer at the end of the day and move off all of your photos/videos for storage and processing. +OLED display is absolutely stunning. +Stereo speakers sound great, especially with Dolby Atmos, a feature I usually don't care for. +Gaming on it is fine, Snapdragon 888 handles everything. +Battery life is fine. Light use, I'll easily get 3 days. Out shooting photo/video all day (10+ hours), I still make it home with a little battery to spare. +Size is similar to a Galaxy S9; I find it about perfect. /Need to use internal storage for many video modes, due to microSD cards being too slow. The quality is that good. -Limited case/accessory selection due to it being kind of a niche product. -Some Sony-isms. Might find a bug here or there; I've been able to deal with anything but I also have a lot of experience with Android. I have zero complaints. It feels like I wrote a letter to Sony asking for lots of things I figured I'd never get in a phone and, well, here it is. If you want a phone you can treat like a real camera, this is as close as you're going to get for a reasonable price (versus the Xperia Pro-I). It doesn't replace a real camera, but it does provide a more confidence-inspiring experience and compliments one's main kit well. I seriously think any content creator that picks up an iPhone/Galaxy over this is really selling themself short. At first, I thought it was too much of a niche product to recommend, but the more I use it, the more I can recommend it to customers with a serious interest in photo/video.

Perfect pocket size phone
Perfect pocket size phone that fits in your hand. I've been using the Xperia series for quite some time since the Z3 came out a few years ago. I got to say the camera on this new device has improved a lot. The 30W wall charger gives you from 0 to about 65% in around 30-35 minutes. Battery life has also improved. There's the features many top brands dropped long time ago and makes me appreciate Sony even more; which is the 3.5mm headphone jack and the expandable memory card.
