After 18 months this phone encountered battery charging problems. Initially it wouldn't charge fully then stopped charging altogether. I tried the software resets as advised on the Internet without success.I sent it back to be repaired but the problem wasn't resolved as it continued to have problems charging. In addition the selfie camera stopped working and the earphone jack malfunctions continually ( no it's not a cable problem). The volume for Google directions is barely audible despite all volume controls at max. I am looking forward to moving on. This phone is a dud. Don't say you weren't warned.

Comfortable in the hand, fast responsive, brilliant graphics, great screen. Strong connectivity, simple to use. I've yet to have a troublesome isdue with an app due to phone issue..

Camera is simple to use or if your into it has the bells n whistles.

Volume is satisfactory for most uses. Though in noisy places can be hard to hear load speaker.

Have owned the xz now for 16months.Solid build. Fantastic Screen quality. Fast browsing but sound quality OK but could be better. Camera is very good, love this phone.
Would recommend this as the battery can last me up to 3-4 days with moderate use.
Better than my previous Samsung phones.
The only problem l had was the volume when very low for a week. But was fixed with a reboot.

-Low sound performance compared to other phones(Samsung, Apple, Huawei,...)
-Had a problem with the original headphone, everytime it moves, the played music, video, or whatever plays on the phone stops.
- White marks on the sides of the screen after falling down or strong pressure on the screen.
- Easy for some apps to send pop-up ads
- difficulties to manage the apps icons
- Good browsing performance.
- Good and big screen
-Stylish

I have had this phone for a year now and I really love it. Never thought I would say that after owning a iPhone for many years, but it's been a joy to use.

The design is modern and unique, very sharp and contemporary. It is large and a little heavy but you do feel its quality. The 4K display is a gem, but could be bigger considering its size. Rear camer is 19MP with slightly wider angle, taking very awesome pictures and videos, but the auto focus is not as fast as Samsung. The frone facing camera is a must for every selfie lovers or vloggers, 13MP and 22mm wide angle plus great stabilisation. Only downside is the rear camera doesn't have as good stabilisation as Samsung, and the size of this phone struggles to be mounted on a gimbal.

The sad thing is that this phone ran smoothly for about a year and once the warranty expired surprise surprise the issues starting arising. First there were problems with the call audio, then it started overheating. Now it won't even start it up now. I bought this phone partly to be cost efficient, but end up costing me 900AUD for a year!! I'll be staying away from Sony phones.

I find the camera quality to be quite poor, photos don't turn out very well.
Sound on the phone is also quite poor unless listening through headphones.
The screen quality when watching Netflix on here is fantastic.
Relatively good battery life.
Only OK, not the phone for me at all.

The phone lacks clicking better quality photos compared to any other mobile phone. Also, there is no audio recorder available on the phone. The only one is on WhatsApp App, I can use. Sony is well known for its music sound but this feature is weak on this handset. Can do better.

The camera on this phone is amazing, has HD video and 22 megapixel photos plus a 4k screen! What more could you ask for when taking photos and videos?
The phone is much like a Samsung or similar to use so going from one brand to this is easy.
The quality of the phone is what you would expect from SONY!
Has no trouble running apps or browsing the web and call quality is exceptional.
You won't be disappointed with this phone!

This is the second Xperia for me and I am totally satisfied, it does everything you want and more and the camera is fantastic, I can get through 2 days without charging, the customer service help is also very good, I thoroughly recommend this phone, I use the dual sim function and have loaded a 59gb sim to store all my music.

Great phone. My only issue has been with the alarms - they can't be set to go for under 5mins, and they don't autostop after an amount of time. I've been driving and had an alarm go off - had to stop to turn it off otherwise it would've just gone for the full 5 mins. From what I remember this wasn't the case with my LG G4.

Battery life is great, and being able to add a microSD card means not having to worry about running out of space.

Upgraded to this phone from an earlier Sony and I have found several positives. The quality of the camera is a pleasant surprise, photos are clear and can be printed and enlarged without losing clarity. Movies can be made of photos and the editing is easy. Internet browsing is fast with easy connection. Overall I really like this phone, so much that I refused to upgrade my plan to a newer model this month!

The phone has a strong performance and battery life. Unlike previous phones, I can easily get through the day of using Facebook, texting, calls and games without having to charge my phone. Photo quality is high and predictive capture is great when trying to get a photo of the kids.

its very easy to use, I love texting with it, takes clear photos, apps run great, the display is beautiful, checking sports results, I love using the google, the phone is nice and light, I love the ring tone, I only have to charge it about 2 or 3 times a week

Brought this new mobile phone earlier this year. Very happy about the performance. It’s stable and the battery can last longer than the old model Xperia Z. It got all the popular functionality, and the photos took by the phone were clear and colourful. And it’s kind of splash proof. The defect is no radio.
