Sony Xperia xz

The pros
The phone arrived well ahead of the expected date. It was easy to operate and a lot bigger than my previous iPhone. As previously stated in other reviews, the screen is large but that only becomes "obvious" when you have to carry the mobile in your pocket.
The phone had no visible marks on the casing and arrived with its charger and headphones. It would have been nice if we had a pin to remove the tray for the sine card but I improvised using a safety pin.

I love how fast the apps open and the speed with which you can switch between them.

The cons
The battery life drains quite easily. But the phone will give me a likely time when the battery will be completely drained.
If you don't have many apps running at once, the battery does last longer. Though I've always charged my mobile everyday.
There is also a nearly daily prompt to update the software. I can't cancel it or stop it which is really annoying.
But overall I love it.

Nice phone, disappointing camera

I bought this phone primarily for the 23M pixel Sony camera which has turned out to be a disappointment. The pictures have a lot of noise and there are strange artifacts which appear to be caused by too much sharpening. A quick google of these problems reveals that other keen photographers have noticed the same problem and Sony do not appear to be fixing it. I've tried using 3rd party camera apps with no improvement in picture quality. The picture quality on my previous Samsung Galaxy S5 was better.
The rest of the phone is good. The screen is nice, the case has a solid feel, the fingerprint scanner is reliable and works well, battery life for me is 2-3 days (I don't use the phone a lot), sound quality using proper Senheiser headphones is good. Radio performance is about average - it drops calls in the same places my Galaxy S5 drops calls.
Overall it's a good phone but with a camera that is over-hyped by Sony. If you are not a keen photographer then you will proabably not notice the shortcomings in the camera - this is a great phone for you. If however you are a keen photographer then look elsewhere - you will be disappointed by the noisy grainy detail in photos.

Great handy phone, beautiful form factor, great camera, smooth functions, ok battery life.

It's a beautiful phone, nice in the hand, compact. All the screen is reachable.

The fingerprint reader is very fast and works most of the time, no problem.

The screen is fantastic and the performance is smooth. There were lots of updates once I powered on the phone. Not knowing how many there were going to be, it was worrying. But a search on duckduckgo alleviated my worries and the updates stopped and the phone ran smoothly.

The camera is the best I've ever owned. I normally go for cheaper phones that focus on battery not camera. This camera and its functions astounded me. Nice and sharp pictures.

When I first got the phone, the battery life was terrible, the power fled from the phone as if it didn't want to stay. But after all the updates, the battery life is solid. I'm used to 10000mah battery phones lasting very long. I have one now. With light use it will last longer than a day. Moderate use, maybe a day. It's good enough for me and what I want.

Great phone, great price, why would you want an iPhone?

The title says it all. If you want a stylish phone that makes calls, texts, emails, really fast Internet, great camera without a contract I can highly recommend the Xperia XZ. Don't be a slave to fashion and the overhyped IPhone /Samsung branding.Read full review

Sony make good mobile phones, This is an upgrade from the Xperia Z3

I have upgraded fromt he Xperia Z3, as i dropped it on concrete. The Xperia XZ is worthy of carrying the Sony Xperia name.

Great phone with many features, like being water resistant. Fast charging means that I am charging for around 1 hour each morning and I am getting enough battery life to last the whole day.

The XZ is responsive, has a great screen and stereo speakers and a headphone jack.

Don't be a slave to Iphone or to Samsung. Give Sony a try and you may be surprised.

Wow - SMART and drop proof - excellent phone and photos... more

I bought a Grade A in Forest Blue - works, looks and feels great, I bought to replace an old Sony Xperia that no longer worked after I dropped it - I've already dropped this several times and it seems to bounce it off with it's toughed glass - how good is that!Read full review
