Review: Great Deal on a Great Phone - Don't know if Sony will continue making phones so wanted to get one before they stop. I wouldn't have paid their original retail price but for the price I paid, this phone beats them all. Classic design and features - the best REAL pictures that aren't messed with by the phone's computer like Apple and Samsung. Sure their pictures are beautifully saturated with color, but I'm done with the awe and ready for a bit of reality. Flipping through apps and stuff on the screan is amazing - fast! The screen color and depth is just unbelievable. The LOVE the headphone jack and pairing with my Sony WH-1000XM5's I get increadable sound wired as expected (down to 4 Hz!), but even with Bluetooth the LDAC produces better than CD quality. Love the setup. So if you like music and photography, I don't think there are any better.
Review: NOT 5G! - 5 stars it is the best phone I ever bought, but you guys lied and said it was 5g. Only gets LTE+. Very disappointing. Right now it’s just a very expensive camera and music player.
