Same spontaneous shut down problems as reported by others but NOT on lte - only on gsm. Phone will only 're-start when plugged in.
So-called service centre here in Tripoli Libya hasn't a clue and will not replace.
Don't buy ANY Sony phone - EVER!

M sitting here in front of the computer checking out what I believe will be a solution to my long time mobile phone problem.I need the best affordable handset and seeing this with its specs I thought this is it.Now all I see here is complaints splashed across the world.If I were to afford the Z range I would.The negative feed back is a turn off.I wonder how Mtn is handling this issue?

Bought this phone in November 2015, used it for a month then I experienced overheating, which then led for the screen to freeze several times a day. Losing the LTE signal causes the phone to automatically shut down and wont open until it is connected to a charger. SD card usuall ends up with corrupted data too... had it sent to the service center 2months after purchase, they replaced it with a new unit today (almost after a month). Hope everything runs smoothly now.
Autoshutdown can be fixed by NOT using the LTE. Change your sim cards network connection to GSM ONLY. It wont shutdown, you wont be able to use your fast data connection also.

Both the primary and secondary camera's are very good. The only problem I experience with it is that its battery tends to be drained really quickly especially under 10%

So essentially there are two problems with this phone. One is battery related (overheats & drains fast) and the other is network related. Whenever the phone loses the LTE network signal, even momentarily, it shuts down. They told me at MTN to bring it back, apparently they are waiting for a new batch of phones to be delivered, don't know how long that will take.
