" ... The phone's hardware and software are fantastic. ... "
" ... I have never had an issue really with performance on a Sony device - their Android optimization is just that good. ... "
" ... Great phone/handheld android computer. ... "
" ... quicker than the Z3, even in stamina mode, but that's due to the Nougat update. ... "
" ... I love the XZ design and it has been performing wonderfully with the Android Nougat update. ... "
" ... Super Awesome Interface. ... "

" ... One of the primary reasons I wanted this phone was for the camera. ... "
" ... THE ONLY 23M PIXEL CAMERA PREMIUM PHONE! ... "
" ... Phone is very quick and can take even better pictures than the Z3 did. ... "
" ... The most remarkable feature of the Xperia xz are its 23 M front camera and its 13 M rear camera, she loves taking pictures and this is what she loves most about this phone. ... "
" ... Great phone and the pictures come great. ... "
" ... - The rear-facing camera takes some gorgeous pictures, and when set to manual, they look even better! ... "
" ... Obviously a DSLR can still do better, but for something you will always have on you? ... "
" ... Great phone, the display shows the colors in a vivid way which helps the stunning camera both frontal and rear, instead of having a lot of nonsense features it comes with the best features on the things that you actually use, it can be a little slippery so a case is recommended, but it's design, dust proof, water resistance and excellent performance make it an awesome phone. ...

" ... My previous Sony Xperia x2 sound quality and battery quality was much better than Sony Xperia xz. ... "
" ... Love the phone great battery lasts me all day. ... "
" ... Good battery life, screen, and build. ... "
" ... Minus the battery life. ... "
" ... Battery life is above average for this phone, and can be great if you are willing to make some small changes. ... If you want something with better all around specs yet that reliability of good software and battery, this is by far one of your best bets. ... "
" ... Lastly, battery is great too! ... "
" ... I prefer andriod over iOS but will admit the 7 is decent but this Xperia is on par with it, both phones have great battery life. ... "
" ... My Z3, after *two years* still managed at least two days worth of battery life, no problem. ... "

" ... The phone's hardware and software are fantastic. ... "
" ... Excel Phone :) ... "
" ... I highly recommend installing an application from the Play Store called Greenify, which closes out all apps running in the background when your phone is not in use. ... I have never had an issue really with performance on a Sony device - their Android optimization is just that good. ... "
" ... Super Awesome Interface. ... "
" ... the SONY Walkman-Music App is simple, clean and has plenty of features that have pushed me to transfer my music files from Google's App, to the Walkman-Music App. ... the Remote Play App allows XPERIA users to stream their PlayStation 4 Games to their phone with a DualShock 4 Controller, which is great when I have friends over and they want to watch YouTube in my living room where my PS4 is. ... "
" ... Performance is stellar too, it just flies through everything I even try throwing at it, even while downloading all of my apps onto it there was barely any stutter, and now that everything is installed and up to date, everything just glides. ... "
" ... Downloaded Textra and made it my default messenger. ... "
" ... All the apps work like they supposed to. ... "

Design

+100%
" ... The design is an attractive conservative look, to me, and sticks out from the crowd of over saturation that is the u.s. phone market. ... "
" ... Physically, the XZ has a nice, sleek, design (as expected of Sony) with a large screen but is still easy to hold and operate with one hand (unlike some of the other large screen smartphones on the market). ... "
" ... Design and screen are also one of the best you can find in the market, Future looking (silver) design and super bright display. ... "
" ... The design, the look, everything. ... "
" ... And let me say that I'm loving, it has great specs and for the price is a pretty good option when you are looking for a flagship device. ... "
" ... The short answer is the XZ feels and performs like a modern flagship phone aught to. ... "
" ... Sony seems to have a fairly unique design that while it's not flashy, it certainly looks elegant and appealing to the eyes. ... "
" ... Also, it's great that the charging port has it's own place at the bottom. ... It looks cheap, far from the real value of this smartphone. ... "

" ... Physically, the XZ has a nice, sleek, design (as expected of Sony) with a large screen but is still easy to hold and operate with one hand (unlike some of the other large screen smartphones on the market). ... "
" ... The 5.2" display seems like a great compromise between some of the smaller options and phablets that have also graced the market. ... The screen on this phone is excellent. ... There is so much talk these days about AMOLED and other emerging technologies, but Sony still manages to make a killer IPS LCD display. ... Contrast is great, sunlight readability is perfect, and reviewing my pictures on the phone is always a very pleasing experience. ... "
" ... Design and screen are also one of the best you can find in the market, Future looking (silver) design and super bright display. ... "
" ... The speakers are really good quality and the screen resolution and camera are top notch. ... "
" ... Amazing display and love the platinum. ... "
" ... Great, clear view, realistic! ... "
" ... The display is nice. ... "
" ... The screen is also very clear and crisp. ... "

" ... Love the phone, its sleekness, and its performance. ... "
" ... The X Performance performs like a modern flagship, but the "feel" is not there. ... "
" ... The design is perfect, and it's very fast. ... "
" ... Great and fast phone, works flawlessly, no issues at all. ... "

" ... The charger and phone were smoking and sparking up. ... I quickly pulled out the charger and because part of the phone melted, the USB plate slid out. ... After stalling me and ignoring my calls for a month, the tech report comes back that this isn't covered by Warranty as charging the phone was considered Customer abuse. ... They claimed that since the phone still technically powers up, there is no manufacturer fault as the reason I can no longer charge it is because the USB plate slid out and therefore not their problem. ... I would certainly have thought that whether the fault was on the Charger or phone they would have replaced the dang phone. ... "
" ... Phone is decent, but the charging port broke 3 weeks in. ... "
" ... Not worth and looks like I was cheated as package didn't included quick charger rather normal charger with 1500mA and manuals were missing from package. ... "
" ... The phone did not turn on, no lights even when charging. ... "
" ... One thing I dont like about the phone is if it get wet the phone does not charge, I guess is because is wet inside. ... Over all is a good phone but the charging part is really annoying. ... and is not wireless charge phone. ... "
" ... Doesn't come with headphones and the charging cable is too short. ... "
" ... There is nothing in the box except phone and charger. ... "

" ... Really good quality for the price. ... "
" ... The phone is one of the best premium phone on the market. ... "
" ... The thing that really excited me about the Xperia XZ was the thought of getting a flagship-grade camera for a sub-$400 price. ... Overall, I would recommend this phone at the $400 price point. ... "
" ... $60 Less than Best Buy for the exact same phone. ... Prices can fluctuate but Amazon has the BEST price for the exact same phone. ... Way better than the overpriced EyePhone :)' ... "
" ... sony is reliable and is no pricey. ... "
" ... And let me say that I'm loving, it has great specs and for the price is a pretty good option when you are looking for a flagship device. ... "
" ... But to me, makes the phone worth it's slightly higher price. ... "
" ... Worth for money. ... "
