I have used it from 2013 feel it good at that time. Now, it doesn't feel like any flagship.Poor battery: I only use about 3 hours then I have to charge in and wait for 5 hours it "drink" battery more than water .The UI design is look like Google too much, it make me feel boring so I have to use the Launcher,they left people at Android 5.1.1. Camera not the best of it. And the chipset is too old for now it can do good at some game and web.(Sorry for my bad English)
I was so hyped when I had an opportunity to buy an Xperia Z. I'd seen the pictures and read the reviews and drooled at the possibility of getting one in my hands! I was using an LG Optimus G and was bummed I couldn't use my 64 GB SD card. I couldn't wait!
So I sold my Optimus and went down to buy my new Sony! I picked it up and had it unlocked right away. As soon as I hooked it up to Wifi so I could get the Lollipop update. I was grateful there was an update because the phone got excruciatingly hot to use. Certainly the new update would stop that.
Nope! Well, at least not entirely. It still got hot, and was generally laggy. I downloaded a task killer app to help but the phone was constantly doing weird stuff in the background. The camera is great for stills, but sometimes, shooting vids at close range the focus constantly readjusts itself.
I really wanted to love this phone, but my disappointment was almost palpable. So, I went shopping for a different phone. Bought an Acer Liquid Z630 and haven't looked back. It has outperformed my Z in every aspect.
Now it's even worse. I gave it to my kid as a gift, and we went to the beach with it. Shot some pics and vids. Somehow, water must've gotten into it and now the speaker and notification light quit working. So much for waterproofing.
It, unfortunately, has soured my respect for Sony products. I would have to really be convinced to buy another Sony phone.
I had this phone for 7 months, and the only word that can describe this experience is: SWEET!
Even tough the Specs weren't that great.. I enjoyed using it as my daily driver from August 2014 til March 2015, When it BROKE, SMASHED!!!
