Sony Xperia XZ3 Unlocked Smartphone, 64GB - 6.0" OLED Screen - Black (US Warranty) [PHONE ONLY VERSION]

Summary: This is a prestige style option that feels unparalleled in the hand and sports an industry-leading screen - if that is what is important to you, this is the phone of your dreams, and the few minor complaints will be entirely acceptable.Pros:* Gorgeous design. The Forest Green color is incredibly attractive and gives handsome variation in tone in different lighting. While Sony has moved into a curved world, the monolithic lines of the profile (including the very narrow corners) remain and remind me of what I loved about the Z1 Compact. The 2:1 aspect ratio makes this phone more slender than most. The glossy black finish of the front with the curved edges is really something else. This is what sold me and I have not been disappointed.* Excellent materials. The contour of the glass is incredibly pleasing in the hand, as is the thin aluminum frame. While some have different opinions on glass backs, the full glass coverage mitigates some of the slipperiness of the phone's curved edges by providing grip - something I missed with the magnesium back of the Pixel. The design may have sold me, but the feel of the phone in the hand is what's confirming the decision.* OLED screen. Fantastic quality, insane DPI, it's very clear this is the same tech Sony uses in its Bravia screens. I wouldn't have come back to Sony without this.* Great camera. Works well in many different lighting scenarios.* Snappy processor. I haven't noticed any slowdown and new games/apps work perfectly well. I'm not a huge gamer though so other reviews might cover this better than I will.* Fingerprint scanner. For many, the low rear placement has been a con. For those of us with smaller hands, it's a godsend, plain and simple.* Dedicated camera button. I missed you!* No notch. If you like notches, flip this to the con category!Neutral* Picks up fingerprints easily. On the other hand, they wipe off easily. Since it's so gorgeous when wiped clean, hard to call this a big winner or loser.Cons* Slippery. Will slide off of angled surfaces. This is mitigated in the hand by the glass. So while I feel secure not putting this phone in a case, I need to be cognizant of where I put it down.* No headphone jack. This was a hard reality for me to come to, but when I'm out and about I'm using bluetooth and when I'm home I can plug in the USB-C to use my fancy headphones.* Weak battery - I make it through the day with email, news, a few minutes of fire emblem/youtube, but not by much.* Expensive. Sony seems to be pricing to make up for weak sales in the US. Maybe they got a few more bucks from me, but I'm not convinced it's a winning strategy.

Pros:1. The screen is ABSOLUTE GORGEOUS, I own Samsung Note 9 and Xs Max, the screen on this Sony is unbeatable. Sony used a newer technology to produce their screen and it is looking fantastic.2. Doesn't wobble that much on the desk comparing to XZ2.3. VoLTE is working for T-Mobile (I wan't able to test on other carriers).4. Comes with Android 9 out of the box.5. Front facing camera is amazing with much clearer pictures comparing to XZ2, even better than Xs Max.6. Very sleek design and it has NO NOTCH!!7. Front facing speakers sounds really good comparing to Note 9.8. Dedicated camera button instead of a Bixby button.Cons:1. Fingerprint scanner is still a bit awkwardly placed.2. Even though it comes with Android 9, the gesture control like on the new Pixel 3 phones is removed. (I personally don't care since the gesture control is really awkward anyway)3. Even though it packs a 3300mAh battery, I have less battery percentage after a day of use comparing to Xs Max, but it does hold me through a day. (I have 6 hours of screen on time; I watch YouTube videos, play games, and scroll through social media apps like Facebook and Instagram.)4. Headphone jack is gone forever for flagship phones from Sony (I use their bluetooth headphones and LDAC is great on playing my FLAC files through bluetooth, so it isn't an issue for me.)Conclusion:This is really a great phone from Sony. They improved this phone from XZ2 in all of the aspects. Awesome display, great front facing speakers, and great cameras. The battery life is average to good comparing to other flagships in 2018, but it still is able to hold me through a day, so I have so complaints here. Sony is the only company out there still adding a dedicated camera button, and I have to say, I love it. If you are looking out there for a great phone from Sony, this is a really nice option even if it costs $900 (I pre-ordered it with the Ear Duo bundle, but I would still buy it for $900 for phone only).

I really wanted this phone, i asked the seller many times to confirm this was a brand new, unused, unopened, NOT refurbished phone, seller said it was brand new, not refurbished. I trusted in him.So i bought it and it came defective, it was restarting by itself with no reason, WiFi was not working at all, it was really frustrating situation. Fortunately, the seller (sell phone basement) helped me with the return and all the process went good.I got my phone returned, and since the first time when i opened the box, there was a "startup guide" showing another phone on images, an Xperia XZ. Why?. this is not an XZ! This is an XZ3...Second, power brick is not working at all, jus does not charge, i had to buy another power brick for it, and is working now. After a month of use, it has reestarted by itself, wifi goes off by no reason at some point, and the most important: rear cover is NOT CENTERED. This phone has been opened and repair for sure! This is a really bad experiencie, Amazon should be more carefull with the products some sellers has as "brand new" take care more of it's customer. Really disappointed.
