I am using ZR from last 3 months... I have only one problem that when the phone is used in outdoor in summer days its get heated up and the camera doesnot work.
except this I have not face any problem. Best smart phone in this budget. Never hangs. Fast processor. can play multiple games. Never switched off automatically. Nice battery backup still go on till one and half day in normal use. Camera is also good in day as well as in night also, check the settings having problem in camera bad in night. In all respect best smartphone I ever used in this budget.

            No buddy my bro was using it. It was good phone but it too has some problems like battery backup wasn’t good, network problems and so on…. ZR was having Bluetooth issues and heating issues.

            Listen buddy until now there was no phone without a problem.

            and one more thing MOTO G and ZR were same in size.

                Been using Sony Xperia ZR for over three months, here is my review

                Bad Battery .... Drains in half a day, takes 3 hours to charge BUT i guess it has to do with the quad core processor
                Remedy .... Stamina Mode and disable all GPs, Bluetotth, Wifi etc and use only when required

                Camera .... Bad in indoor conditions....Software issue as "a better camera, Power Cam etc" give far better results...Same with Panaromic mode...

                Bluetooth .. Just not working...In the Sony Forums, this was a common and major complaint..nothing pairs
                CAN ANYONE GIVE ME A SOLUTION

                Heating ... Talk beyond two minutes and your ear gets fried ... i guess as this is a water proof phone the only heat outlet is the ear piece grill
                Remedy ....tilt the phone away from the ear while talking else use headphone

                Wrist and Finger Damage ... We are humans and not Neandthearls...this huge size coupled with touch screen has screwed my wrist and fingers
                Remedy .... Using Physicothearpy ball and using left land once in a while for touch screen

                Overall after paying 24 grand (via ebay) vs 12k of Moto G gifted to wifey i'll take Moto G any day... Half the price BUT more value for money

                If you are not a Gamer avoid all thease Large Screen, Quadra / Octa Core phones.... u'll end up carrying a charges

                            If your phone is laggy after updating to kk 4.4.2, go to developer options, and check 'force GPU rendering' and 'disable HW overlays'. After that restart your phone and everything will be as smooth as silk.
