Performance is great except battery ,easy heatup and Most Importantly, BLUR camera quality..worst than M5! i buy this phone is because i want to upgrade to better phone..but photo quality i really can't accept it...like a cheap 5 yrs back old phone...really REGRET to update to 8.0.......just use for 1 week and already regret.....

Pre-ordered mine October 2016 and still using it, I agree with the overheating part, especially for the camera and gaming. Still getting around 2.5 to 3 from medium to heavy use, playing Dragon Nest M, snapping some pics, and managed to install 3D Creator from XZ2 which can scan using the front facing cam and I have like 100+ apps installed, and at least 20 of them I use regularly.
The only thing I don't agree with some, or most of the comments here is the lagging part, because I don't encounter it from my day to day use, and I haven't done any resetting or anything drastic like that, running on the latest firmware as of this writing 41.3.A.2.149 with June 1, 2018 security patch under Oreo 8.0.

The Xperia XZ camera video stabilization is good, but it heats up easily when recording and stops recording automatically and disables camera. Wifi connectivity and sim card signal is relatively weak, thus disconnecting itself from server easily from time to time which gets annoying. I encountered problems of the phone restarting itself repeatedly until the battery died after approximately one year of usage. significant lagging also appears after 1 year of usage. All these are issues i encountered after about 1 year of usage, hence personally I think this phone is not really worth buying for the long term. I have factory resetted my phone and also software repaired it but automatic shut down and restart of phone problem still exists. Not sure if mine is a defective good, but i doubt so as it served well during the first year of usage

amrpp, 06 Jun 2018Hello, I saw your posts in many Sony phone opinion threads.... moreI wouldn't say that the XPERIA Z5 overheats more, but instead it heats up more than the XPERIA XZ, because my XPERIA Z5 and XPERIA Z5 PREMIUM got updated to ANDROID 7.1.1 a long time ago, which have reduced the overheating issue caused by the notorious overheater SNAPDRAGON 810 by a lot. It heats up more, but no longer overheats like last time when I first unboxed it with ANDROID LOLLIPOP. Lol, I actually also use that method sometimes to cool down my smartphone when it is warm, but it won't help when I pick it up from my floor, because it will turn back to normal after a while, so doing it won't help much. The XPERIA XZ isn't covered fully with aluminum, though. Only the back is covered with ALKALEIDO (Which is just aluminum, but with added chemicals to make it shine more), whereas the side frame left right top bottom is made out of polycarbonate (Which is plastic). I actually wouldn't mind having polycarbonate for the frame really, when my XPERIA XZ heats up I wouldn't feel that much heat on the sides of it as compared to the back, but the downsides of it is that the polycarbonate side frame isn't smooth to touch. The left and right of the side frame feels a little rough and "sticky" in that sense, but I'm glad the top and bottom of the side frame feels smooth even though I sense the obvious presence of polycarbonate, so yeah, if u aren't that picky u wouldn't have any problems with the design. It won't be as hot as XPERIA Z5, that is guaranteed and expected. But, wouldn't it be a little better if u were to buy the XPERIA XZs instead? It have the same design as the XPERIA XZ, I mean, when I put my XPERIA XZ and XPERIA XZs beside each other, it is unnoticeable. Other than the slight colour difference of the more matte black of the XPERIA XZs and the camera bump (Which looks way more beautiful in my own opinion), there is no differences in terms of design. The upgrades of it are the 1 more GB of RAM, and Sony's newest custom camera sensor still, for their own smartphones, the IMX400 19MP Motion Eye camera sensor, which have noticeably better low-light performance as compared to the older one. It heats up the same or even lesser than the XPERIA XZ in my own usage even if both are using the same chipset. If the price is okay for u, u are better off getting the XPERIA XZs

I want to ask you which one overheats more, XZ or Z5? My friend have a Z5 and she says it overheats pretty often but she only has to put it on the ceramic floor to cool it down lol. I'm interested to get an XZ but its body is fully made of aluminium? Does it make the XZ hotter than Z5 when it overheats? Thanks a lot!!

After using for almost 2year, the system starts to lag. System starts to lag and sometime auto shut down at 40% and below. Battery drain super fast, normal usage 2-3hr left with 40% of the battery life. Overheat issue and will cause camera to shut down. Too much problem thus not recommend.

Have this phone for one year. Heat-problems aside the phone runs super-fast and smoothly. The camera is pretty mediocre for a flagship but still gets the work done!

I want to buy this phone but I decline. Too many issues and I rather choose xz premium or the s8 which is better value for money.
Best of luck for those of already purchase this phone.
