![Sony Xperia 1 V 256GB 5G Factory Unlocked Smartphone [U.S. Official w/Warranty],Black](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81YofuHBMZL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
Beautiful design. Feels expensive and good in the hand, not too big not too small but of course is is relative as we all have difference size hands.
Amazing screen! The colors are rich and vibrant when using it, viewing pics, or watching videos.
Powerful! It flew threw setup and installing my last Android backup in record time. Also it updated to Nougat while I was setting it up for the first time, so the latest Android OS right from the start was a great bonus!
Yes the international version is 64GB of internal memory vs the US's 32, but with up to 256 MicroSD expandable memory, that's not really an issue. Plus not all US carriers provide full bandwidth support for the international version (i.e. you might not get LTE, only 4G) so do your research before buying based on specs alone.
Price is right compared to other phones on the market, i.e. the new Google Pixel. I had already pre-ordered my XZ but watched the Pixel announcement and really liked what they are finally doing, but also had some concerns: 1) it's first gen tech. Google is an amazing company but i've been burned before and make it a point to never buy 'the first' of any new tech that's released. 2) it's expensive! if you get the big 128GB model and the insurance it's going to sent you back just under $900 bucks. That's asking a lot for a smartphone, even one that's 100% Google made. So when i looked at the two, i stuck with my XZ and couldn't be happier.
And battery life has been really good. Using it all day (8AM to 9PM) without charging and still have 30-40% juice left. Mine came with Sony's rapid charging wall-plug, and I bought some Anker 3.0 USB-C cables (bought through Amazon of course ^_^), so she charges very quickly. I think in under 10 minutes I went from under 50% battery life to 100%.
I'm not a tech professional by any means, I'm just your average consumer that's tech savvy and values my dollars going to quality products that I'll get at least 2-3 years solid use out. Yes, there are other Android phones on the market with bigger/better technical specs, but not everything needs to be 100% top-end. If you do that you get crap battery life because that bigger processor and better screen and finger print scanner and all those other 'nice to haves' need juice to run. The more you tack on, the harder the phone has to work, the hotter it runs and the crappier the battery life is. So I'm happy with the Sony XZ because it takes advantage of everything I want in a premium phone, has high-end specs that work in its beautiful design, and they made it so it works as hard without over doing it.
All in all it's one of the best Android phones I've ever used, and I've used all the majors (Samsung, Motorola, and HTC) and none of them compare to this. I only hope it sells well so that Sony further invests in the US market because we've been waiting for high-end Android phones like the XZ for years.

Catches on FIRE, not covered by US Warranty as charging the phone is considered "Customer abuse"
Whilst sitting nearby I noticed the smell of fire. The charger and phone were smoking and sparking up. I quickly pulled out the charger and because part of the phone melted, the USB plate slid out.US Support was not helpful. After stalling me and ignoring my calls for a month, the tech report comes back that this isn't covered by Warranty as charging the phone was considered Customer abuse. They claimed that since the phone still technically powers up, there is no manufacturer fault as the reason I can no longer charge it is because the USB plate slid out and therefore not their problem. I used it with a Sony Charger too. I argued with them back and forth on the matter but they really don't care at all. I would certainly have thought that whether the fault was on the Charger or phone they would have replaced the dang phone. I have Sony branded everything. Tablets, TV, consoles. This has entirely changed my opinion of the brand. I'll be looking to put my money elsewhere with a brand that backs up and believes in the quality of its own products.
