The very best Android Phone
||Posted .I did not purchase the phone from Bestbuy. I initially purchased it but they delivered to a wrong address and made me wait for over 2 weeks ot get a refund. I bought it through ebay. Its the 64GB model F8332, wanted to share my review. I bought the Forest Blue model 64gb Dual Sim model F8332. The particular model I have was for Hong Kong and included the Quick Charger corresponding to the region. I had a adapter included to make it compatible for North America, which works absolutely fine. In the box: My model came with the phone, documentation, USB Type C cable, Quick Charger, Adapter for North America, basic set of headphones from sony (The model F8331 usually doesn't include it). Experience: I have been using my phone for over a month now. It is really good having migrated from my Xperia Z3. The 3 standout features are 1) The Display -Excellent with wide viewing angles, ample back light with a good light sensor to help you read clearly even in sunlight when you have ambient light sensor on. The gorilla glass 4 gives me a slight peace of mind that it wont scratch easily. You can go for tampered glass screen protectors (Find ones which are curved on the sides), but I decided not to go for it. I paid around $40 extra to get the SCTF10 Touch cover. It's expensive, but offers really good protection and is available in colors of the phone. It is super light and doesn't add bulk to the phone. The touch cover is really good. I hardly open the cover unless I have to do intensive typing like answering emails OR for playing games. For simple replies to text messages, going through twitter n facebook, calling etc. you can keep the touch cover on and do your daily tasks. The phone lets you adapt to the touch cover with appropriate level of sensitivity and light settings with the cover on. I highly RECOMMEND getting the SCTF10 even though it is a bit expensive. 2) Camera quality: The biggest upgrade coming over from Xperia Z3 i the camera. Snappy, a lot better low light performance and manual controls make it as really excellent camera. Look for unbiased reviews on youtube and you will find that the Xperia XZ is among the top 3 smartphones in terms of camera and picture quality with the Galaxy S7 and iPhone 7. All 3 have their pros and cons, but overall I am really happy with the camera. Check my instagram page to get a glimpse (@intellix). I love shooting the light trails with the manual shutter speed control. Also selfies are a lot better now in low light with support for gestures (My Xperia Z3 was horrible in low light). The color balance in images is neutral (instead of being too warm and punchy) which I prefer since I like to customize my images. Sony claims in their advertisements that the colors are true to life and you should use #nofilter which seems to be really the case. I just love the camera as of now. Although it doesn't have a 2x zoom like the Iphone 7 plus, overall the images taken with the manual mode are really nice with all the customization options available. The auto mode is pretty good as well specially in daylight. It will suffer a bit in low light. I would recommend users to use the scene selection mode in manual mode with low light portraight or twilight mode for low light scenarios. Also play with the shutter speed. By reducing the shutter speed just a little bit, images turn out to be 10 times better even in dark. To summarize, the CAMERA is at par with the ABSOLUTE BEST in all conditions. 3. Audio quality: In general like previous Sony phones, the audio quality is excellent. Turn ON the DSEE HX for getting High Resolution audio if you are using wired headphones. It is an absolutely splendid experience. Wireless music is at par as well. The blutooth audio settings give you the option to select between quality and performance, letting you choose whether you would prefer continuous connectivity VS lossless quality when blutooth device is moved away from the recipient. It is a good option to have.Overall I have tried the iphone, Moto G and previously a lot of sony phones. I simply think that the Music app of Sony(Previously known as Walkman) is the best of the lot. In terms of volume of the speaker, the speaker volume is a lot louder than the Z3 but it could have been louder when compared with the iphone 7, galaxy s7 or other flagship phones. Overall I am not disappointed since I don't use the speaker phone often. The audio output from the 3.5mm jack on external systems is really good now. Previously we have witnessed problems with audio output on Sony flagships. Overall: The dual sim option where the 2nd slot is a hybrid sim slot for microsd card or nano sim is a really important option for users like me who travel a lot. I tend to use the 2nd sim slot when I travel internationally while for day to day use, I usually keep my 64GB MicroSd card for my photographs. The 64gb internal memory is a big boost from 16GB models that sony produced earlier. Another nice gesture is the option to move data of the apps to SD card which I believe only Sony still supports, although I may be wrong. It proved to be a life saver time and often when I used my 16GB Xperia Z3. The fingerprint scanner is snappy and accurate. I just love it when folks take my phone and get confused as to where the fingerprint reader is ..lol So, I'd definitely recommend this phone. Go for it. You will not be disappointed.

Great, Unique Phone
Posted .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.

Replacement to my Z2 didn't disappoint
||Posted .Always have been a user since Ericsson phones. Their build quality and conservative ascetics always attracted me. This was used to replace my venerable and 2.5 year old Z2 that never let me down. Only reason to replace was the old Z2 was a 4th replaced rear glass that was cracked, a 20% lower battery life due to normal age, and a bit of boredom for something new. Performance was NEVER an issue. The XZ is not cheap by any means but it's a flagship nevertheless and awards the user exclusivity.

Sleek, stylish, and clean
||Posted .I picked up the phone at my local Best Buy store yesterday. First thing I noticed about the phone is the way it feels when I was holding it. The weight is just right and the metallic body gives the phone a very durable feel. I am an Android user (currently using both the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and a HTC One M8) and this phone definitely outclasses most Android phones out there in terms of design. The clean lines and perfect edges made the phone a truly remarkable piece of work.

Q: Questiondoes this version have the fingerprint sensor?
Asked by Samuel.
- A:Answer No, but you can flash an international firmware (no root needed) to get the fingerprint scanner activated, it is software disabled in the US version.
Answered by Kai9
Q: QuestionDoes this come with the fingerprint scanner working? Is this dual sim or single sim?
Asked by sonyfan.
- A:Answer The fingerprint sensor is there but you will need the UK firmware to make it enabled. Pretty easy to do and does not void the warranty because it is still official Sony firmware.
Answered by striker
Q: QuestionDoes this model suffer from overheating issues when recording? Some reviews say it gets hot really easily.
Asked by XperiaZ3CompactOwner.
- A:Answer Yes it heats up dangerously even with a few minutes of video recording and closes the app automatically. Very annoying! There may be a restocking fee if you want to return (beware)!

Q: QuestionI called Verizon and they advised me this phone, no matter GSM or CDMA will work with their network as long as I install the Sim card they just sent me. They advised me they were 100% certain of this. True or false and why?
Asked by Verizonsince1998.
This question was asked about the related product: Sony - Xperia™ XZ 4G LTE with 32GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Platinum
- A:Answer Probably true. I have been hearing lately that CDMA cellular providers now allow the use of unlocked GSM phones. Even CDMA phones have a slot for a SIM card, so I do not see any reason why this would not work. Fortunately, if there are any problems, Best Buy should let you return the phone.
Answered by Charles
Q: Questionwill this phone work on the Verizon network?
Asked by franknyank.
- A:Answer Yes it will according to Verizon. Verizon sends out a new Sim card for free and once plugged in, it will work. CDMA and GSM are no longer causing issues of compatability. As long as the phone is unlocked and has sim slot...it's fully functional on Verizon now.
