One of the worst phone I`ve owned....
-outside in the sun.....forget it, after 5 min it overheats, brightness goes down, becomes very slow
-the UI looks bland, no built-in weather app like they used to have in the past
-great camera hardware & app, but only for a few shots, after that it overheats
-very poor signal quality, I had moments where I was in the town centre with only EDGE signal & 1 bar.

Sony, mate, please do not build phones any more, focus on other things that you do better, TVs...etc

    Anonymous, 14 Feb 2023All your family and friends buy Sony? Sounds like a despera... moreIn my household alone, I have the Sony 1 IV, my wife have Sony 5 IV coz she wants it to be compact, kids who are in college have 10 III, some older Xperia II series given away to relatives/friends with no issues. We also have large Sony TV in our living room & smaller Sony TVs for bedrooms(older Sony TVs were given to relatives or friends with no issues), PS5/4 & some older consoles PS3/2/1. Have Sony BlueRay Player exclusively for BD/DVD Movies that I buy/collect. Sony 7.1 Surround Sound System/Amplifiers/Speakers. Sony AM/FM/CD Player/etc Radio(Kitchen)/Portable for travel. Sony Desk Alarm Clock. Sony Headphones(some new some old). Some older model probably 2 or 3 years ago Sony camcorder for casual use still working to this day. Basically we have almost every Sony electronic device here besides fridge, washing machine, stove/ovens light fixtures etc. & if Sony made them Ill definitely buy them to have an all Sony product household.

            Many people in this comment section love Sony, but they secretly use Samsung, Apple or Chinese phones.

                        Don't believe the people who say it's not getting hot after Android 13. They are lying and trying to justify their purchase. I got this phone new with Android 13 and it performed worse than phones with much older processors due to its overheating. Trying to play any kind of 3D game? Phone overheats and throttles and the screen goes down to 60hz. Watching a 4k video for too long? Same thing. Sometimes even browsing the web the same thing happens again and again.
                        And forget about using 120hz while charging the phone. One of the most important features of a phone and you can't even use it more than half the time. Wish Sony just waited for the snapdragon 8 gen 1+ before releasing this phone.

                        Absolutely dissapointed by this waste of money.

                            don't buy it, it overheats even if I browse with it and it switches back to 60hz

It's been the only phone I have used in a daily basis ever since. Almost 5 years and still rocking. The only thing I miss is a good camera quality compared to nowadays standards. The snapdragon 835 is still a beast.

                                        People are so focused on bezels, chin area and diagonal size that they forget how much screen area is actually presented to them between those bezels lol
