LONGEST LASTING BATTERY EVER!!!
Phone owned for more than a year

The SONY XPERIA ZR is and was a revolutionary and extremely advanced phone for it's time. Mine is STILL ON, hooked up to the charger and is STILL fully operable, TODAY!! It's literally NEVER been shut off since around 2016i!!! Bought online from Europe in 2013, I was able to change the VPN codes to make it work in the U.S. It was Unlocked. This thing is a marvel of technology and I am proud to say that I did my homework for weeks before I bought my first smart phone and hard work really pays off! It's sitting right next to me. It swipes, almost as fast as my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The phone, itself is is Mint condition. Mint is also the color of it. It took amazing photos but that's the only thing that has been diminished, the lens. It was mailed to me from Europe and it came with me around the world to 29 different countries, including every state in the U.S. It's still running like new with the original battery!! I have extras but never needed to replace the original - for any reason! I know It's going to be an extremely rare piece of SONY's history
Again, I never saw even ONE person.... not even one, with ANY SONY phone, much less, The Sony Xperia ZR.
...I chose wisely.

Everything good except for the camera
Phone owned for less than a year

Look is good... Water Resistance is an awesome feature and I am addicted to it... Sound quality of Sony is unmatchable... However, Camera is way too bad...
In day light, it's just above average, but in low light, it is disastrous.... My old phone with 2 MP takes better photos in low light... I have read a lot of reviews before buying... I wonder why people have rated the camera 8-9... The front cam is 0.3 MP and it's literally of no use....
