          There is image retention on screen only after 3 months of usage. Never faced this issue on other OLED screens. May be sony used low quality screen. What a shame!

              Fabulous phone, flawless response and the only regret is that I let a previous Sony phone shadow my judgment on this gem. A lot of extra wizardry if you understand how to use it. This phone is for the different kind of tech geek and for me it ticks all the boxes. If you’re looking for a phone that is simple, this isn’t it. This is for people that like to fiddle with settings to get the maximum out of the device.

                Sony's naming scheme is the worst

                  Anyone noticed their cell signal strength is terrible and jumps all over the place? Im using the AS72 variant and compared to my old galaxy s7 the signal strength is terrible. Canada, bell provider. It could be Android 11

                      x5ii quick story
                      evaluated flagships in a big theoretical matrix and this phone won along with 8Pro which i already have. Hoping to get the light phone, without notch and with all the classic features i bought it. Returned after 1 day:
                      - 21:9 makes display small, eyes suffered straight away, also the brightness isn't great
                      - size 6.1" is on par with Galaxy S7/8/9 cubic meter wise, e.g. S10 would have much bigger display
                      - ultra slippery hard to pick hard to hold body.. absolutely unusable without fat ugly case
                      - unwanted keypresses thanks to buttons spread everywhere and unwanted unlocks thanks to fingerprint acting after touch
                      - almost impossible to swipe from the edge was the major showstopper, also triggering SideSense was super difficult
                      - very bland OS feels vanilla on one side, but also feels cheap and sad..Win app exists but can't backup no more.. so no extras.. no Dex or sync tool. just upgrade
                      - extremelly weird selfie pics

                      what was cool:
                      - no gray backbleeding like on every Samsung/Oneplus OLED
                      - cam trigger...special button will not only launch camera but also start shooting.. it also acts like focus because it intercepts half press
                      - Sony variant of Samsung SmartStay is fantastic. keeps phone unlocked while you look at it and this time it works because using sensors.. Never heard of it but it's super cool
                      - SideSense is a good improvement as it brings multiwindow back..but the requirement is to activate is easily and that doesn't happen because of display edges on a flat phone
                      - fingerprint unlock was perfect if it was easier to locate..

                      what a lesson.. despite hoping to prove otherwise i learned punchhole is ok, fingerprint under display is ok, big display is beneficial, and curved display is also great.

                        Anonymous, 10 Mar 2021How? Where to get the app? Search sony album app .apk, download and install from some mirror site.
                        Latest one supports even CinemaPro.

                              Sony Album app works on android 11 update!

                                flagshipper, 08 Mar 2021i guess Xposed Edge would be happy to remap the bixby keysHope sony will make it remapable so sony users will no longer need a 3rd party app. If samsung can do it to their bixby button, sony should follow suit.

                                    Is the assistant button remapable already? Would be great to map it as a music player just like to old sony ericsson walkman phones where you have a dedicated button for walkman app.
