I have used Sony Xperia Z category phone and its performance is just no good. It hangs and it gets stuck, have to restart it all over by taking the battery out and putting it back in. As compared to Xperia, I have put faith in a new brand iDROID USA and bought its phone. So far it is not giving me any troubles and running smoothly!

I don't know maybe all the D6616 were sent to the same repair facility because the last 4 had similar defects in the same spot... They could not even give me a new "factory sealed" one as they only had refurbished ones in circulation as T-Mobile pulled the device from sale due to many people like me. I think the international model D6603 did not face that, which I assume you had. Then again the first 4 were brand new factory sealed with issues as well. If they are to recover from the red they really need to up the quality control as the phones are good no doubt but cosmetic/gap issues/light leaking from frame/glass are a big issue.

I have owned a few Sony smartphones and never had a single issue. The quality of the Sony phones are top notch.

When I was in college in India in 2007 most of my friends had Sony phones and all had issues within 1-2 years. Their repair centers were not that great either. All of them eventually switched to other brands.
Last year I finally bought a Sony Xperia Z3 hoping Sony may have improved. I love the phone but the quality control of Sony's factories/suppliers factories and repair centers is atrocious.
My Game of Z3 Phones:
#1 Severe lightbleed between Glass/Frame - Compromised waterproofing
#2 Even worse light bleed, entire left side seemed to be having glue only in intervals and also compromised waterproofing
#3 Pink Camera - severe
------------------------
#4 Worked well was perfect for 7 months - T-Mobile themselves opened checked 4-5 boxes before giving me this non defective unit. Recently developed screeching/vibrating top speaker
-------------------------
#5 Replacement unit came Severe light bleed between Glass/Frame - Compromised waterproofing. Also had a patch of paint missing on lower bezel right of the speaker with light coming through like an extra LED lol.
#6 Exact same as #5.
#7 Streak of dead pixels and and dust under LCD
--------------------------
#8 Finally a good one, only very little light leak. Keeping this one.
Thank god T-Mobile replaced my phones immediately and did 1 day shipping for the last for exchanges. It was much better than dealing with Sony whose rep said 2-3 weeks turn around time at minimum and asked if I could reinstall OS to see if the light leak between frame and glass could be fixed lol. I face palmed and told him its a hardware issue probably due to missing glue and I went to T-Mobile instead to get my exchange...
T-mobile told me if it happens again they would refund my remaining $425 and taxes and I could get a new model.
T-Mobile also removed the Z3 from sale due to numerous returns from defects. Sad to see a great device ruined by bad quality control.

I really hope Sony improved the quality control of their factories and suppliers for these new phones... I am on my 8th Z3 due to defects... After owning phones from every major brand this is a first for me.

Two of the phone is pretty much likely to be the Xperia e5 with lollipop 5.0.2 and others are the xperia T Series T4 or T3 ultra or T4 ultra that runs lollipop 5.1 out of the box.
