      This phone has all u need, but the price is steep. However it's worth when u consider like all phones in flagship category are silly and similarly priced. Besides a Sony is is Sony meaning that design is always different from the large amount of China slabs.

You could use a dongle to get wired headphones, but try that at the gym with some movement, it disconnects instantly and does not compare to a 3.5 headphone jack no matter what. That power port was not build to take the rigors of headphone jack use and will break easily when used with a dongle, speaking from experience. I love using my DJ cans at the gym, never fall off, best noise suppression around the ear design, comfortable, real bass, loud, high sound quality. However, moving away from Sony to find another android that has these features, without a network for parts Sony is just screwing its customers. Fool me once.

That is because there are no positive things. Narrow display, little service and software updates from Sony etc. And concerning the headphone jack, you can buy earbids with usb connector instead if insist on wired audio. And the SD card... well, nowadays internal storage is high enough for everybody, nobody will insert and exsert sd cards from his phone. And for data transfer just use a cable.

                Sony does not have a repair center or even a distribution network for parts in the US. So if your phone needs parts, like my $1,800 Pro I, then you are out of luck. I've been trying to fix it for 5 months now. Assurion can't even fix it, they said ebay is the only place to get parts for it and they are not allowed to shop there. The one phone number Sony has for third party to fix your phone, no one answers. Sometimes you can wait on the line for an hour and then it just hangs up. It's basically a fake company. Owning this phone has been the biggest waste of money. I've never seen this little support from a global company before.

Why n... morePeople love nitpicking the phone that stands out the most from one of the most-known brands, and Sony is one of them, so they decided to hate it the most. They hate it so much that they will scapegoat Sony when their lives don't go their way as an act to express their daily-life frustration.

                    I'm seeing a lot of complaints about this phone. Why not get other phones? Why does it have to be this specific phone? Because of the headphone jack?

                      :D

                        Awful build quality. Those stereo speakers at the top and bottom of the display have so large gaps that they get filled with dirt in a second. Then there are some wanna-be professional apps like cinema pro. I still couldn't manage to change the aspect ratio from 21:9 to 16:9 in the aforementioned app. Then there is that 21:9 aspect ratio of the display itself, which is more a problem rather than a helpful design. Watching regular 16:9 videos on youtube is like watching them on iPhone SE and everything in general is too small fue to the narrow display caused by 21:9 aspect ratio. Image quality is great on the other hand because outdated Sony finally switched to a larger state-of-the-art 1/1.35" 48MP main sensor and stopped using that miniature 1/1.7" 12MP sensor they have been using for years now. Still this doesn't make the phone any better, the aspect ratio of the display and the unnecessarily complex photo apps that no smartphone user will ever use (as if any professional photographer would ever use a smartphone instead of his dslr are whatsoever), in addition to the already bad service from Sony make this phone "dead on arrival".

                        This phone reminds me of the DeLorean DMC-12, which was supposed to become a groundbreaking supercar ended up as a total failure.

                          The competition is commenting aggressively because they know that a next generation video camera has arrived and is already on the market :D
