I've had the phone for a month or so now and I'm not disappointed. I've always had Sony phones in the past but having had issues with my last 2 decided to look elsewhere.
This phone is great for someone looking for a decent phone with great specs at a mid range price.
The battery is huge and really does last so much longer than any phone I've had previously. Up to 3 days with intermittent use. Combined with the 30w charger supplied in the box I have full charge in about an hour which is so useful.
I have a large amount of downloaded music so the micro SD slot is a must. Having a headphone jack (well positioned at the bottom of the phone) is great for listening with quality headphones. I've had no issues maintaining a Bluetooth connection with various headphones and speakers. The internal speaker is mono but surprisingly loud. The graphic equaliser is useful.
The 8gb of RAM means that everything is really zippy. I find the screen great and the fingerprint sensor is really good both in terms of functionality and that it is positioned on the side and doubles as a power button.
Helpfully the phone comes with a silicone clear case in the box, but no screen protector.
The rear is a little shiny for my taste but I'm used to plain monolithic Sony bricks and it's not OTT. Once the case is on you don't notice anyway.
When researching this phone I shied away from some alternatives that have ads built in to some apps to reduce the price, this is ad free. It's virtually stock Android 11 so is very clean and fast.
Call quality has been good.
My only gripes are 1. the Google assistant button which can't be fully disabled and 2. I miss my Sony music app which can't be dowloaded to non-Sony phones. There is no music app pre-installed on the phone so you'll have to find a third party one.
I'm not a gamer and just take point and press pics so maybe if you're looking for a serious gaming phone or market leading camera look elsewhere and pay more.
As a general use phone and for listening to music I'm very happy with my purchase.
At £300 RRP I think it's good value and at anything less it's a bargain.
