I would ... moreI like this phone too but the phone can only be ultimately updated to android 9.0 which is the most considered point and also concerned about, if you will use any modern apps today they will require higher version of Android such as mobile banking apps and social media apps but if we are talking about hardware specs ,this model is still perfect even today ,all i know is this model is the 1st ever model that has 120Hz refresh rate BUT this function was closed in ROM Code writing if you want to use 120Hz it needs to do a ROM flashing which is too complicated and risk of permanent damage ,this phone should be used as a backup phone ,the display is flawless and still beat the today flagships ,sony used the BRAVIA technology with the screen

Hello. I am considering buying this phone in 2023. I would like to ask if anyone here could comment about the pixel response times of the LCD panel? Is there any visible ghosting trails and smearing whilst scrolling text on a dark background, eg. scrolling the YouTube app with dark theme enabled?

Coming back to this phone in 2023, I only noticed the AOSP Open Device program for several Sony phones*. It turns out that Sony rolls out Android 11.0 binaries for this phone. If you think about it, Sony can officially roll out a fourth OS update to this phone. I don't mind this AOSP program thing since I used to flash custom ROMs, but most average consumers don't do that kind of thing.

My Xperia XZ2 Premium supports 2160p HDR video playback in YouTube, but my XZ Premium doesn't. It streams 2160p non-HDR videos in YouTube, but when trying to play any 4K HDR video, only maximum resolution available is 1080p HDR. Disappointing because I bought this phone last year only due to its 2160p resolution display.

Prefer side biometric sensor as on this phone
Only (major) downsides for me;
Only froze twice, but was easily rectified
No dedicated memory card slot... hybrid only
Top & bottom bezels a little large
No OS availability beyond Android 9
4K screen OTT... used 3rd party to decrease resolution

After 2 years of use, it dies suddenly, but luckily it was under warranty so they gave me a new identical XZ Premium phone.
Guess what? 3 years and it's still fault-free. Yes it's slow, but probably due to me not emptying its storage or formatting it.
Overall I can say that, apart from one failure. Sony Xperia XZ Premium has been standing strong for more than five years. Absolutely well done SONY! I'll be a loyal customer forever.

My XZ Premium (SO-04J) doesn't run 4K HDR playback in YouTube, it runs on 1080p HDR, while even my other 1080p display phones can. Why?
