    I can confirm Sony phones doing the same as iPhone.
    It's just lags terribly after 6 months particularly on Waze, Facebook and Google Maps.
    I won't buy Sony phones anymore.

            Note7 owner, 28 Dec 2017Of cause they don’t, it’s already slow since day one!!of course it's slow since day one because you had Samsung :D but with stock android it's as fast if not faster than iPhone :)

                I would like to see a response from Sony as they have their qnovo thing that claims to prolong battery life over time.

                Actually, I don't think there's a research about this, the Xperia X was released in the beginning of 2016 and according to Sony the Xperia X's battery should be as new as today.

                    Apple is cancer to the mobile industry and fools keep supporting crooks like them.

                      Of cause they don’t, it’s already slow since day one!!

                        I can say for sure...

                        My xperia is faster than when I got it 2 years ago.

                          This is what they usually did, slow down the device, no android update, and make it battery drain fast.
                          On the picture above I saw a bag of Starbucks coffee, is it related with this topic?
