Best high end android phone currently available.
Pros:
1 superb ergonomics: clean left edge of the phone so you can hold it comfortably while reading in bed, for example.
2 dedicated camera button
3 stereo, front facing speakers sound great and other phones sound mediocre in comparison
4 screen looks great and is on par with amoled. Wish Sony provided option for display to always be in 4k
5 camera 960 fps video is amazing. Regular 1080 HD video is excellent and clear with quick exposure adjustment and image stabilization and with superb audio quality
6 excellent camera, excellent audio
7 very fast phone and is responsive and not too much stock android customization
8 excellent battery life on par with top end phones such as the Pixel
9 SD card slot accepts up to 256 GB !
10 fingerprint reader is accurate and fast! and is embedded in the side power button (international version)
Cons:
1 on the heavy side, but still not unformatable to hold in hand
2 screen can be made bigger and phone smaller by trimming down the bezels
3 Does not run 4k resolution all the time leaving some embedded images pixelated that otherwise show up much sharper on a LG G6 for example (Amazon music album covers, for example).
4 volume rocker can be made a bit bigger
5 display auto-adjust brightness shifts around in darkness

Not waterproof!
Don't buy from this seller...everything was working great untill the water ran into it but how ? It supposed to be waterproof now my phone is dead thanks to seller and I'm still paying for it with affirm....probably the phone was used and they fixed it now they're trying to sell it as Original...i gave it to a pro to disassemble it he send me a photo with a note that it didn't even have waterproof stickers to the front and back so that's why water got into it....I want a new phone from this seller and I'm not going to pay for it

The phone is hands down the best phone I've ever owned, I used to be on iPhone from the 4S to the 5S (4years)and decided to leave early this year. Best decision I've made. The phone is so fast, the UI is brilliant and heavily customisable, the camera is amazing quality like having a DSLR in your pocket, features for the phone and the specs sold me completely with the original XZ and this has raised the bar for me entirely.
The physical design is so sleek and beautiful, definitely going to need a case because one scratch on it and it'd be the equivalent of someone smacking your child :') 4k HDR display is crisper than a sip of spring river water. Vibrant display brings the best out of ever photo and video you take or watch, also the dual speakers is genius! Watch a movie on this phone and you'll be completely immersed.
Battery life is very impressive, it can take up to 3 hours to charge from 0%-100% BUT the battery lasts a fairly decent amount of time, I've used 30% of my battery in the last 12 hours which I'm really happy with, in the past my iPhone wouldn't last less than half a day until it was at 15% and I need of charging; some days with a lot of use I'd sometimes charge it twice a day which is insane.
The speaker is very light compared to most portable speakers I've tried, the sound quality is crisp and the extra bass does a decent job of banging out a song along with the light show it puts on is pretty damn cool!
The price is unbelievable! £649 for basically £780 worth of gear is a sure bet that you won't lose on!
*Additional*
(I've been testing the battery since I've had it for the past few weeks, the battery is twice the mAH of the iPhone 6 battery and with background refreshing apps and stamina mode enable I can get about 2 days out of it while using it a few times an hour. The speed charging plug that comes with the phone charges at around 3% per minute so you do the math. The charging from a power bank is considerably slower than from a mains plug but still reasonable. If you're into battery saving hacks you could make the phones batter easily last a day and a half minimum ever listening to music all day. Really impressed with the battery life. Hope all of this helps!
Thinking of switching from Apple?
DO IT! Get the Xperia XZ/XZ Premium, you won't be disappointed at all!
