GOOD But no much

Edited: Apr 07, 2019, 8:39 AM

Phone owned for more than a year

Price 1years ago
Install many app in my phone
Speed is good and not bug
Display is nice quality
GPU is enough
The game works great And there is no slowness and weakness
The camera has a great selfie, but the main camera is lower than expected
The quality of the device is acceptable for a mid-range, but a lot of weight is long annoying
Cutting the metal parts of the device is eye-catching and attracts great attention
Maybe the design is a bit old, but this does not diminish its beauty
One of the positive aspects of the slot is the 3rd, slip-free hybrid slider of the phone in terms of communication and media of its ranks.

Show off specs, but dissapointing in the real world

Posted: Feb 28, 2019, 7:50 PM

Phone owned for less than 3 months

While the device performance and exterior is impressive, my biggest dissapointments are in the camera and Sony's customer care. They boasted of a Manual Mode that really doesn't work. You can't adjust your ISO and Shutter Speeds independently. I've complained about this and followed their suggestions and yet, got no reply from Sony. So, I'll assume it's part of the design. That sucks!
The lens is also poor as light sources stretch out and f**k up the image instead of appearing like stars as you see on good lens (my old alcatel IDOL 4S).
It maintains the headphone jack for those that won't switch to wireless and you still have SD cards. But also, the SD card is only useful for media content as apps can't store data on it. Even WhatsApp won't detect it or backup chats on it. Another dissapointment.

What I like

Good Body design
Large Screen with great resolution and image quality (feels like OLED when it's not)
Huge battery life
Sufficient CPU performance for this price
Dedicated Dual SIM option

What I don't like

Bad Camera Lens and Software (i.e Manual Mode lacks control. No true Manual mode like a Samsung S8)
Large size might be a little inconvenient
Poor SD card support
Poor customer service/Communication from Sony
