I request all of you, Do.not buy this phone. I wasted my $480 buying xperia zr. It is really annoying, you cannot transfer apps to the sd card. It also takes time to open some application. It takes time to open the camera which is so annoyingand there are many more problems. I cannot even download any apps or click pictures or something. I just wished i had bought some other phone.
Sony Xperia should fix this in the next update or it should shut down producing such annoying phones.

      No.doubt its a better cell phone but the camera is not as per the expectations. I think a VGA camera is installed instead of 13 MP. I was using Samsung grand and that 8mp camera was much better than my current 13 Mp.

                is it wise to buy this phone now even when it has been 1year since it was released?

                        Hey.. I got this phone 9 days ago.. First thing i noticed was the heating problem.. Even if I'm just browsing the net for 5 minutes the phone heats up. And the battery is disappointing it doesn't last more that 12–15 hours.. Is there any way to fix the heating and battery issue? N yes... I do not play any high resolution games or anything that uses a lot of processing power.. Yet my phone did hang once.. How do i solve these issues?? Please please help!

                            I have recently started getting problems with the speakers. Everytime I get a call, I can't hear what the other side is saying and nor they can hear me.

                            Is anyone else facing the same issue?? Is it a hardware or a software issue??
