So basically: Mostly the same old pros and cons from Xperia 1 II, but in a smaller package.
+Great battery life in both display refresh rates
+120Hz option
+Flagship-level performance
+Good speakers
+Easily one of the most flexible manual camera apps, for both still photos and videos
+Accurate eye AF for the main camera
+A headphone jack
+Very rare 4K120fps HDR slow mo recording
-No variable display refresh rate
-Embarrassing display brightness that is comparable to Galaxy S7
-Photos are oversharpened during the day and too soft at night in any camera apps
-Only OK selfie image quality
-No HDR for portrait mode
-No 960fps or even 240fps super slow mo which makes it rather impractical for shooting the actual "slow" motion video.
I feel like 4.4 is a reasonable score given for this device even though there are still some issues mainly around its camera that Sony needs to iron out in their future products. Great review overall.

That's quite quick for this phone review considering that it'll be released mid October.
Finally, a phone that I could look up to getting one.

No notch or hole, the mini bezels are not in the way given the tall form factor, just perfect, size is awesome too, now sony can we get a half affordable one?
