Please do keep in mind that although this phone is not the best value overall out there but if you are looking for a good 3.5mm jack output audio, this is one of the best in the market.

Very nice way of I mean getting down to consumers level and considering even a minor software flaw! That's something which every tech reviewer won't Thank you

I'm kind of a Sony fanboy, but I have to say that this video was AMAZING! Super complete and honest!

[IInkHeart]

One thing I don't get about Sony (leaving aside all the software quirks) is that why can't they up their camera game, in bright and especially in low light. They're the one supplying all other OEMs for camera sensors and Sony even makes DSLRs and compact cameras and yet their smartphone camera is nowhere near the top each time. Why Sony why?

I have Xperia XZ and he have great night photos!
only problem is because this man love Samsung, and dont know how to use Sony camera!

You are bothered regarding 3gb ram, sony's UI is so light that sony never faces any issue in multitasking, so no need of 6gb ram, and in most other videos we've found out that sony xperia xz's camera gave better results and details and also better video recording at low light, compared to any flagships like galaxy s7 or apple iPhone 7, and even accurate colours in low light, where galaxy s7, just for making the pictures look vibrant gives fake colours in low light, and even during day time. Yes the only problem with this phone is that it reboots while opening the Sim card tray, and the sound from the speakers could have been made louder. These are the most minor issues, tell me, who opens Sim card tray regularly at least once a day. Not satisfied with the review at all. Samsung galaxy s7 is now 43k that's bcoz it has been more than 7 months since it's launch. And also many galaxy s7 users face lagging problem after it has grown just 7 months old. Not satisfied with the review at all.

I have been thinking to buy XZ and watched over 40+ reviews including drop test, water test, tear down, performance comparisons etc. One thing I want to tell is that, this is an exceptionally good review. Hats off for pointing those small annoying things. 3gigs is something which annoys me.

5:37 That camera quality O_O, especially that contrast with the tricky pink color, it just handles it beautifully...

Ash - very thoughtful review. Nicely done - as always.

Bro u are a xiomi guy
U don't able to understand SONY

[kiran]

have you ever noticed nonworking 4g while inserting a sim? If YES then you are honest and you have to reboot yoour phone to get it no matter think sonys decision about rebboting is good! also they could have changed the sd slot....and why is it rebboting while selecting operator....i never saw such an issue before on any sony devices

[KLCSArnav]

Sony is Sony Its only meant for PROFESSIONALS and not "Switchers"

[anupamhalder]

Loved the video Ash . After long time I can say that you have used the phone very thoroughly. Great job. The software problems are really irritating.

[dyxlexorcist]

I already bought one and I'm loving it. It looks classy and corporate. And, I already bought Sony Alpha a7R II for photos and videos. Hate me now, anti-Sony guys!

[raviyt]

Cool review bro👍
The built quality and memory management of Xperia are always gud. But the price for this one is hectic😬

[VincentForDesign]

I wanted to say you're one of my favourite phone reviewer, I changed my mind after this video. You're the best!

I have been struggling to decide between this and OP 3t, because of this, I have decided to go all the way for OP3t! Nowadays specs are not everything, the day-to-day experience is even more important because we rely on it as a daily tool. By knowing the specs alone doesn't help, and you reviewed this phone so well that you took all these into consideration. Because the last thing you want it to happen is annoyed by little problems every single day after spent your hard earned money!

This is the best review so far. Thank you!

I've used many Xperia and many other smartphones (only Android though).. and I can say no other smartphone can beat sony in terms of quality and stability.. hands down.. no matter what other say

[kiranpyboina]
