Does anyone know if this works in Europe? It should have the bands for Vodafone-Italia, but it's not working.

Just bought one from Japan i was hoping to upgrade from my old sony xz1compact.

Pros: wonderful screen and very compact size

Cons: ugly sound, i barely can hear it and i cannot find a way to improve it, the old xz1c sound one million times better.
It gets very hot and drains the battery at an incredible speed.

Overall i prefer to turn back to old xz1c the one problem is the limited memory of just 32gb

This will be a dream phone if bigger screen and Dual (or more) camera never exist

Just bought an used one Softbank model. Will let you know in a weeks how it works when it arrives.

It seems it got updates for both Android 10 & 11, which is pretty good in my opinion. Also, repairs for the device just recently closed in March 2023 on Japan through Softbank, which says a lot about the care and service they offer their customers.

I bought this phone from Japan on ebay because I don't like large phones and I'm no fan of IOS. I didn't anticipate having so much trouble finding a US carrier this phone will work with. Mint works, but crappily.
T-Mobile seems to have the most LTE bands in common with this phone (5/12/26/41). I'll be trying them next, fingers crossed.

Is it that undurable?

The first android phone I've been excited for in what must be 10 years! I would have preferred top and bottom bezels without the notches and with a more compressed display aspect ratio (somewhere in-between this and the iphone SE), but the rest of the features of this are sounding great!

I was after a compact phone so I bought an iphone 13 mini last week. I returned it after a day as it just didn't feel right. It was cumbersome to use and didn't come anywhere close to what the older iphones were like to use. Even my dying iphone 7 has features which set it apart from the latest generation (ie 3d touch text scrolling, home button/fingerprint sensor, no awkward gymnastics in single hand use). The latest iphones are way over rated.

I'm looking forward to checking this device out!
