I have been using this phone for almost 3 years now and I absolutely love it. The battery life is still holding about 93% of original capacity, even after heavy use and quick charging.

Overall satisfactory. Despite the lack of RAW image support the camera should have been better.

I bought this phone a month ago, it is a quite powerful and handy mobile phone, but when we talk about fingerprint sensor, its a quite disappointing and unpleasant experience when using this phone. Sensor was hard to recognise my fingerprint especially when sweat, it keep showing sensor dirty and it is hard to facing this problem on apple iphone. Please add on a face ID sensor on your future phone, this is quite a handy feature.

I am a long term Sony xperia phone user. It is a great product as usual. However, the software issue really bothers me a lot ane put the phone in shame. For example, the finger sensor is pretty bad. It could not capture my finger prints no matter how many times I tried even after the update. On the hardware side, the water resistance of ip65/68 is not working at all. In addition, some apps will crush constantly to a point I almost wanted to do a factory reset when I brought the phone to sony service center. This is not acceptable consider this is a flagship phone. Nevertheless, I'll continue to support Sony and I believe you guys are moving to the right direction. I hope the next flagship phone I get will not have these problems anymore.

The size of the phone is just right to fit my hand. Nice display. The camera is even greater than the previous Sony phone that I was using.

Bought this recently. The WiFi keeps on disconnecting. You will suddenly note that WiFi is disconnected and phone running on mobile data. It some times doesn't connect to the saved network. You have to manually go into WiFi settings to connect to the saved network

I bought this phone a little less than 2 months ago, I noticed the battery gets extremely hot at times so I put a cold pack on the device to cool it down and I think it cracked my screen due to the extreme heat and my attempts to cool it down while the overheating was occuring. Hot to cold extremes crack glass and I'm almost 100 sure that's what happened. The crack isn't super noticable but it can get worse over time. But other than that, the phone is solid and is extremely fast and I haven't been given the chance to test out the cameras so much but from what I can tell, the 3 cameras are extremely nice.

Bought this phone in Nov 2019 and so far its great. Features are good and easy to use. Design is great too other than the missing ear phone jack and unable to use wireless charging

I like the phone. Beautiful screen, good sound and camera is not bad also. But there are few problems like turning to energy saver mode all of a sudden when it shouldn't. (My setting is only from 15% but started when 80%). Also the fingerprint unlocking is not so good. It doesn't work half the time.

It draw my attention the moment I saw the it on YouTube, buy really need optimization as the camera sometime still unable to detect my SD card and shut down itself . Some Times will hang and not move . The finger print recognition successful rate was less then 50% shame on that . Well at least good to know it is a monster in terms of specs , but accessories wise was disappointing, I wanted to buy a screen protector at Sony store Singapore, but they told out of stock . Yet u guys are still selling the phone ?? Do u expect the customer to buy the phone without a screen protector . Buck up Sony ?

Camera is good and satisfies overall, but my son’s Huawei Mate Pro’s camera produces crisper pictures with more natural colors, as well as superior bokeh when needed, most times in one-on-one comparisons.

love the xperia 1. the quality of pics taken is very rich and sharp. The only problem i had was the bluetooth connection with my car multimedia. I think this happened after a software update. It has been resolved after another software update.
