I meant that relative to it's size, the weight distribution made it seem lighter than it was. The plastic sides with the matte finish is just something I personally don't like. Just a first impression I got from a few minutes handling it.
None of those things are dealbreakers for me. I'm a huge sony fan since the ericcson days and was really looking forward to getting this phone and if I weren't in such a rush, having had my phone die on monday, I might be willing to wait out another couple of weeks for additional reviews and picture samples (8 samples on the site are not enough to make an impression), and info on the zooming thing.
I still think it's a solid option for the price range and judging by the fact that the green is currently out of stock and number of other customers looking at the phone at various shops around mk, it will be a good seller for the brand.
I'll probably go with something that's been on the market longer with proven reviews and no known issues. The Samsung S10 is currently 3700hkd at smartone with a year screen replacement warranty.

superpup, 26 May 2020I was definitely having problems focusing with the telephot... moreThanks for the info. I got caught out in the red rainstorm warning on monday, which is how my c5 pro died and now find myself in this position having to buy a phone with minimal time to do research and also minimal budget right now.
I was ready to pull the trigger but the focusing thing and the lack of knowledge from the sony guy did not give me a lot of confidence in buying something new on the market.
Definitely need some kind of water resistance rating for HK. Also, F the Observatory.

I went to my local CSL shop in HK and played around with the display phone for 5-10 minutes. The store haven't set up the phone correctly, so I can only comment on my first impressions of the phone with any extensive play and test.
Quick background - I've been using a Sony phone since 2012. My current phone is Xperia ZX2 bought just over 2 years ago and is still working well. So sadly, I don't have a lot of experience using other brands of similar price range/tier to give a fair an objective review. Anyways, here we go...
The phone is light and definitely does feel a little "cheap" with the mint green plastics sides. It's not an edge-to-edge display and the side bezel is quite noticeable if I'm quite honest and I finding myself wishing of an seemless edge display but not wishing to pay premium for a Samsung S20.
I've never used a 21:9 display before so it does feel different and the length is quite noticeable. I'm sure it's just take some time getting used to a longer phone. The display is beautiful. I played Youtube "The heart of Yosemite 4k HDR | 8k HDR 21:9" and it turned out great!
Spend a good 5minutes trying the camera by taking photos to shop displays. (the phone is attached to a security cord angles were limited). Photos looked clear and sharp. Didn't notice any significant issues with photo quality in the very brightly lit shop. I did play with the bokeh setting for the blurred background effect. It took around 1-1.5 seconds to snap and process the photo and I wasn't too impressed with the result. But it was my first time using this feature so maybe I wasn't using it right. A more extensive trail might produce different results and impression.

Ralf316 , 26 May 2020Great job! Could you Say smth about sound quality? And what... moreI use bluetooth headphones, so the quality will be based on those. Unless you mean the speaker, which is really bad compared to my previous Xperia phones.
It doesn't get hot at all but I haven't been doing anything super intensive on it yet. I did play a Unity game for a while and it stayed cool the whole time

To me it feels futuristic while the big heavy phones feel cheap and old fashioned with giant batteries to power a phone filled with unnecessary hardware.
Some things I want to feel heavy and solid (like my keyboard). Other things, I want it light as possible, but still solid (like my phone). I know what a cheap light phone feels like - usually it will have all plastic on the back, plastic bezels, and crappy glass. But this has full Gorilla Glass 6 on both sides, and a nice smooth plastic around the perimeter. It feels way more expensive than the price I paid... But that's just IMO. (though I do think the plastic will wear out in a year, we'll have to wait and see.. at THAT time I will start to notice the midrange price of it)

dick, 26 May 2020I tried one earlier at the Sony store. I have to say I was ... moreI was definitely having problems focusing with the telephoto. I thought it was because I was basically using it like a macro lens. The best solution was to focus with the main lens, focus, then switch to the telephoto. Not very good. I checked for updated but there are none. I expect it to be fixed eventually. Maybe it's not good for macro, I dunno...
I didn't take a lot of pics because I got caught in the weather. Good thing this is waterproof! Kind of essential if you carry a phone around in rainy weather like Hong Kong in the summer.
There is no always on display
And as far as youtube goes, it all depends on the aspect ratio of what you're watching. Most youtube is probably 16:9, so it will have bars on the sides. 21:9 Movies look amazing though, I watched Into the Spider-Verse on Netflix and it looked great

I tried one earlier at the Sony store. I have to say I was a little underwhelmed with how it felt. Build quality seems good but the plastic sides and the light weight relative to it's form factor, which should be a plus, made it feel cheap. Also, on the demo model I tried, the telephoto lens was out of focus and they could not get it to focus. I was assured it was because the demo unit had not been updated which did not give me a lot of confidence. I'll probably wait until there are more reviews and user opinions before pulling the trigger.

Fosil, 25 May 2020I don't think any significant or major issues are expected ... moreThanks. The main thing I'm waiting for with this is the camera, more samples. It's hard to determine based on eight pics but what I see so far seems good enough. It's just the single ultrawide sample doesn't seem so great. Everything else seems great for a phone of this price range.

I'd love to share more guys, it's just that I haven't really left my house since I got it. So mostly I use it for browsing social media here and there, listening to podcasts for a few hours. Setting up my home screen, playing around with weather apps, etc. No real CPU usage such as gaming though. I have barely touched the camera! I am waiting for the weather to clear up a bit, but maybe I can go for a quick walk and play around a bit.
I will say that I haven't charged it since yesterday morning, so it's been about 24 hours. The battery is at 81% still. Again, not using it like crazy during that time, but at the very least we know it will idle well without draining. And this is without Adaptive Battery getting the chance to start ignoring apps I don't use. I am looking forward to seeing how effective that feature is.
