So I recently bought a secondhand XZ2 Japanese version (AU/SOV37) and it came with Android 10 already installed, ver 52.1.C.0.220. Everything works perfectly so far after a week of using it, but of course seeing all the bloatwares there I proceed to factory reset it before deleting them through the adb. Suffice to say, being my first Sony phone I'd think this device is very much worth it compared to some crappy 2019 and 2020 midrange, I do really miss the headphone jack very much, and I heard using dongles actually hurting the charger port very much cuz it's not built for that. Tried the camera and it's a very massive upgrade compared to my crappy Asus Zenfone Max Pro, and gaming performance is actually very amazing in this phone. I feel this device would really benefit from using bigger battery like 4000mAH and as it stands I can honestly say that battery life is somewhat a letdown. I can easily charge twice a day, with combination of heavy usage and heavy gaming and this is not while using the sim card, but WIFI only! But of course the quick charge feature really saves that. The screen is also pretty decent looking and the speaker sounds is simply music to my ear. And last but not least, the vibration feature is kinda gimmick to me while watching some HDR video, but I heard people reporting about Android 10 ruining this feature so I'm not sure what's up with that.

      I got this phone 2 years ago. It still tops a lot of new mid to high range phones in regards to gaming and the quality of the screen and dual speakers are still going strong.... So I'd definitely recommend it. The phone I have now isn't as good, the only complaint is the camera position, 1 camera and that fingerprint position. Great quality in 2020

        How is this phone holding up in 2020? Getting really cheap here in Pak does it worth it? My main focus is gaming and netflix. Thats all no priority on the cameras.

            Guys i have this phone almost from 3 years now, and i saw a lot of you asking if this phone have Android 10, the thing is the my phone already get it last year a couple of weeks before the A10 release, so the thing is and resume in ur version japan etc etc, just change it to another variant and dosent matter if ur phone have 6 or 4gb ram everything is gonna work, a always use Xperifirm tha is easier than ever, and this phone on A10 dosen`t come with navigation gesture, OC that SUCKS, but if u really really want can use FNG or other like the xda navigation thing just plug ur phone in the pc and install it, ans is super smooth.
            Battery is good i still use this phone like my daily driver and SOT screen on time last around 6 - 8 hours everything dependes what im doing, and always works close too 25 percent of the brightness

              Did anyone updated (Japan Version SOV37) to android 10?

                kmlnzl, 19 Nov 2020I buy this phone as japan set (SoftBank) and I cant update ... morejust use japan VPN and then check update 2 to 3 times it will update to the latest version :)

                  I buy this phone as japan set (SoftBank) and I cant update it to Android 10 (still Android 8), but I quite satisfied anyway. Battery life is quite impressive just by looking how small the battery it is. I managed to get Screen On Time around 6-7 hours for casual use for whole day usage and 4-6 hours if I push the phone a bit by playing games like Call of Duty, PUBG Mobile. Speaker-wise, dual speaker top and bottom quite loud for my ears , I have no complaint about it. Calling on this phone, earpiece get really loud and clear. Coverage, because I buy this phone as import set, for first time use, I can't get the coverage and it was unable to detect my local network until I check the APN and it was empty. So, I browse to website that actually show the APN for my local network and I setup all by myself. Surprise to me, the line coverage was quite good, Internet speed pretty fast for this phone. Charging took around 2 hours something but not reaching 3. Camera-wise, single lens was quite decent. I have one complaint about it, the photo comes out a bit dark but not to dark. I recommend you increase the shadow of the picture through Photoshop or Google Photo. Selfie camera was quite wide, the quality wasn't so bad consider its only 5MP. Instagram stories, not so compress to my eyes, the video came out very good. The stabilization also quite good. That's all from me :)

                        Hi.

                        I noticed that XZ2 compact has an issue with signal reception. The phone may perform well as a media device, however, the main function as a smartphone, ie, call and internet is kinda scarce.
