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....

Sony = great hardware, not so great software
Phone owned for less than a year

There is hope if Sony does a better job in the software department. When I upgraded to Android 4.4 Kitkat, the battery would last me about half a day. I had to sell it - I don t know if they fixed it.

I had the 8GB white model.
I don t know if this happens a lot or if it was the card s fault, but I had really big problems with my SD card. It would crash a lot and I lost a lot of documents.
The upside - I learned to use the cloud :)
Still... 8 GB is way to little
