Good phone, had several Xperias (Xperiae?) mainly because very few phones offer LTE/5G bands for Europe and USA besides iPhone.
The only real and unfortunately for my use on several continents and inside large buildings really significant downsides to a late 2022 released phone are:
- no eSIM for the 2 SIM slot models and thus with SD-card in place, only one phone number (= physical SIM card) possible at a time
- no WiFi calling
I briefly used an iPhone 14 Pro and Google Pixel 7: both had eSims and WiFi calling and worked like a charm, but I didn't like using them for many other reasons.
My $0.02.
YMMV

Good form factorr but bad connection during call! I often need to restart the mobile to be able to phone. Slot2 of SIM card does not work.
I'm seriously considering to send back the mobile.
For sure does not work 1000€. Half price would be more proper!

I likes the form factorr, and constructikn quality. Buy honestly I have lot of problem of connection! Often loose the signal during calls, only chance is to Power off the mobile. I'm seriously considering to send back the mobile.
No heating problems, good camera but no macro function. Slot2 of SIM does not work.
For sure does not worth while 1000€, half would be more proper!

Zpy, 17 Jan 2023Ah yes they should innovate by removing the headphone jack ... morePhone manufacturers that got rid of the Micro Sd card are just scamming you into paying *them* more for memory, when its available much cheaper from buying a separate sd card. There's also NO reason to get rid of the sd card slot - my phone has one and is waterproof etc with no issues.
Don't let the big players rip you off!

What the hell is wrong with the fingerprint sensor on this thing? I thought it would be a relief going back to a non under-display one for speed and efficiency. Was also excited to try a side-mounted one for the first time.
Turns out this thing is the worst one I've ever had. consistency os appaling and the side position sounded a lot better before in theory. My S20fe 5g fingerprint sensor feels bloody using after using this thing.

Anonymous, 09 Jan 2023I have never been so disappointed in a mobile phone as this... morei face all the above problems, another major issue is that overheat why too much for basic tasks. I do live in a hot climate (31c avg). The phone is constantly over 40c and lags horribly over 45c. STUPID OVERPRICED PIECE OF CRAP. My mom's 300 usd redmi runs smoother than this crap. I usually keep my phone for 5 years, I am seriously doubting if this crap can last this long.

I have never been so disappointed in a mobile phone as this one.
* It lags a lot, like hello 2010 again. Specs sure doesn't look real at all. Can lag directly from laying idle, or after some use. Does appear totally random.
* Keyboard does not want to appear when you want to write. extremely annoying.
* If you are on a low speed wifi network, phone doesn't switch to 4G or 5G. You will basically be offline and the only fix is to disable wifi.
* when someone calls, it might not want to let you answer it. annoying.
* whenever you touch the phone it thinks you are scanning you finger, so when you really want to use you phone finger scanner is blocked so you need to enter lock code..
* plus side: it does take good pictures, and has a long battery life.
