The problem with Sony i see is they release new phones every 9 months and then then older flagship gets put back in the queue in terms of importance and priority on updates. If Sony release every year cycle and a system like Samsung like low-end (J-series), mid-range (A-series) and flagship (S-series) then they don't have too much of a headache pumping out the latest hardware and then updates would stop after a year or so.

Sony phones are somewhat unstable ... moreSo, are you saying that I should wait for long before the overall UX and UI becomes "smooth" after a couple of minutes which would be I don't know a decade maybe? The Z5 may be stuck to Nougat 7.0 and the XZ to 7.1.1 forever.

But after some updates Sony phones will shine and beat all others. For example my Z3 is butter smooth now. More smooth than it was. I agree it will overheat but not much. And yes motorola is smooth too.

Anonymous, 21 Jul 2017Bloatware is still there just a bit reduced. Lag is reduced... moreThanks for the very interesting article. But the argument would be that the report is a year old and many things would have happened then. Sony may have the most stable Android OS (a near-stock Android similar to other OEMs such as Motorola, Nokia, etc.) but the biggest problems for them this year is still the overheating, unoptimised software (which is evident by some issues on the app loading/multitasking and the aforementioned overheating) and battery life. I said it here before of my experience. When I had the Galaxy A5 2016 and the Huawei P8 Lite 2017 phones if you noticed both have a skinned version of Android and have inserted bloatware on the UX/UI. Ironies of ironies despite having a skinned Android the two phone lasted more than a day with no charging midday even with use of GPS (Google Maps), Sync on, minimal games but constantly checking emails, social media, news and moderate use of Youtube via 4G and above average use of YT via wifi from 6pm. So, If these example doesn't tell you anything about these devices then I don't know what will. I have done almost all battery saving tips & tricks under the sun (apart from rooting) and I still found Xperia devices to have poor battery life and I'll be lucky if i will still have 30% by 7pm with my M5, Z5 & XZ.

And their TouchWiz. I've tried my cousin's phone which he uses Galaxy J5 2016 and it's kinda heavy and not working well at all. But after I recommended to used Nova Launcher and their custom ROM (sorry I don't know what kind of ROM he uses), it runs like champ!
