Andrey K.
Advantages: 1.Video in 4K HDR 2.Slow motion. 3. The camera is very good, despite the fact that the module from xz 1 has not changed, you can see a lot of work on the camera. 4. Performance, although the processor is like other flagships on Android, pleases with its optimization. 5. Supports HI Res audio and LDAC + excellent speakers. If you listen to a lot of music, then you will definitely like this phone. 6. Dynamic vibration. Small feature, but very pleasant for me. You can turn it on when watching video and when listening to music, flexible setting. 7.Design. Everyone has different tastes, but I really liked it. 8. Moisture protection. IP68 standard. 9. Full hd + screen. Support for 4k video. 10. Very high quality assembly. Due to the slippery body, the phone fell a couple of times, the impromptu crash test was flawless. 11. Android 8. With each version, the android pleases more and more, in contrast to the ayos. Android p version is also available. 12. Battery life is good. Although the battery is small, it is better optimized than the competition. I have enough for the day. Fast charging and wireless charging are definitely a plus.
Disadvantages: 1. The phone is very slippery. Either buy the cover right away or don't place it on uneven surfaces. 2. Depending on where you buy, the bundle either will not have headphones or will be (like mine), but just disgusting. I don’t understand at all - why, if the phone is made for music lovers, then the developers cannot put a good headset. In general, additional costs. 3. It is immediately clear to all Sony fans that 64GB turns into 48 - this is such an unpleasant feature of this company.If you plan to download movies in 4k, then immediately buy a memory card for this. 4. The phone heats up moderately under load. 5. If you have thumbs, the fingerprint scanner will seem very inconvenient at first. But in a week I got used to it and it works properly.
Comment: I do not understand people who go to the market in comments under the phone and start writing about the PHONE FOR 60K WITH MY XIAOMI IS EVERYTHING BETTER. On the same market there are stores where you can buy this phone from 42 to 49 thousand rubles, as I did. At the official cost, adequate people buy only on credit or in installments, because in one tranche there are always offers that are much cheaper. I am very pleased with the phone. Mostly I watch movies and listen to music, which is a pleasure to do on this phone. This is one of the best entertainment phones in my opinion. I advise everyone who has such interests this particular flagship.

Advantages: Lightning fast, no slowdowns, the fingerprint scanner is fast, LTE maintains a decent speed (at least in the city center). Glass surface. For me, the gloss has always been pleasant to the touch, but the same matte aluminum is unpleasant to hold in my hands. Someone will say that the gloss is easily soiled, but I will say that I did not buy the smartphone to stare at the back cover =) The back cover form factor is funny, but without a cover it will spin like a carousel on the table. This is rather a minus, but not critical for me. Now Sony is undergoing a campaign to replace a broken screen within a year, which is, in principle, top-notch =) The speaker volume is sufficient. The main one is hidden not in the end, as usual, but in a narrow cutout at the bottom of the front panel. Simple interface. It doesn't seem to differ much from my old Galaxy A5 2016, but for some reason it loads less. I don’t know how the Japanese do it, but it’s more pleasant to use than the interface on the gnomish.
Disadvantages: Autonomy. Alas, I expected more from a phone with a battery over 3000 mAh. Perhaps I'll dig into the geolocation settings and others later, the situation may change, but now, when watching a 2-hour FullHD movie, half the battery is consumed. Photo. Here I was somewhat disappointed in the Sony flagship ... In general, the photos are clear, there are few complaints, but the autofocus is very slow. In the Galaxy A5 2016, autofocus rebuilt much faster. In this case, if you focus and photograph by pressing the special. buttons on the end - the focus is almost instant. This is a clear jamb of software. I hope that it will be corrected in future firmware. Shooting video at 960fps is a funny thing, you can play around, but only in excellent lighting conditions. If you stray from them, be prepared for loud noises and unpleasant video flickering. The sound through the 3.5mm jack adapter is not that quiet, but sometimes there is not enough volume reserve in some songs or when watching a movie. With the h.ear in 2 (IER-H500A) headphones, when watching a movie in the subway, sometimes the sound of the movie is completely muffled at maximum volume. Since using an adapter is too much honor for this phone, I plan to buy h.ear on 2 Wireless NC, with them the situation should be better.
Comment: Overall, the phone has a positive impression. If I'm ready to put up with the autofocus jamb, then the autonomy sometimes treacherously hits in the teeth. A couple of times a week he comes to recharge on the way, since the bank (for 16,000 mAh) is always with him in his portfolio. If we talk about 3D scanning of a face, head, objects, augmented reality and other crap from this area, then the thing is funny, but useless for me. Maybe someone will find it interesting and useful.

Artyom L.
Advantages: In 2018, it is difficult to single out any specific smart. They are all similar both in form and in functionality.Each frog praises its own swamp. To be honest, I didn't really consider Sony as a mobile phone. Televisions, playstation, action cam - all of them are top, of course, but for a moment, everyone forgot about phones because of this race of advertising for samsung and epla. When I saw this smart for the first time, to be honest, I was not particularly impressed by the design. BUT! When you take it in hand, you understand why such a design. This is a very handy smartphone, clearly under the arm. This is a very bright and rich HDR screen, this is super sound from stereo speakers and top power! I'm already silent about the camera. I took pictures with different smarts, but recently I was in a club and took out a recently purchased xz2, I never saw such a picture with minimal illumination, of course not a DSLR, but this is a PHONE!
Disadvantages: Due to the unusual shape, when the phone lies with its back on the table, the vibration is not heard at all. Also, this new theme with glass on the back is not very clear to me, I understand that wireless charging is there and so on and so on, but it drags on if you use a smart without a cover :(
Comment: I think that this smartphone deserves attention among the flagships of 2018!;) In addition, personally, I did not expect that some kind of smart might surprise me. There are a lot of features that I have not seen in other smartphones, such as dynamic vibration, ultra stamina, a 3D scanner, and so on. this definitely sets new trends and allows you to see which of the manufacturers comes up with something of their own, and someone copies ...;)

Advantages: Absolutely everything - performance, smart, good loud stereo sound, screen, camera, practicality, interface, gives solidity, I think the most convenient to operate.
Disadvantages: Slippery, weak battery.
Comment: My favorite brand has been only a premium class for 17 years now, I will never switch to another brand. It's like a Land rover does not become obsolete, but only prettier. And marriage is everywhere. I hope to be in the top as before. The only minus is the maintenance of services, there are many left.

Advantages: Well, I don't know where to start. I have had my phone for almost a year. Everything works fine, there are no terrible jambs, everything works with a bang. Well slippery so what? Anyway, everyone always puts a cover on any phone. Also my disadvantage! The scanner many hayut they say is inconvenient and does not always work, but for some reason I have no problems with the scanner and is convenient and always works. Autonomy is also normal. The sound is very good, especially in good ears, and the bluetooth is also good. In short, the device is very suitable for me, especially for 30 k and in general Sony is the best. And in general, if you put a bunch of devices with the screen off in a row, all will be + -the same remnants will not distinguish from each other except ... Sony. This is my purely personal opinion. And those who haut take use and you will understand everything. On this note I end

Advantages: A juicy bright screen (it even seems better than amoled), today I was holding the last samsa in my hands and the P30 pro huvavei, well, poisonous colors and that's it. Although this is a fad), I confess, I'm just a sony phonat. Nice camera. Stereo sound. Speed ​​in everything: in GPS, on the Internet, on YouTube, etc. I have not tried games, they are not needed. Although the camera lagged behind the huwawe, there is something in it, more juicy colors or something. The fingerprint scanner works great. Handsome and stylish.
Disadvantages: I think I'll change it to XZ1 or get used to it. Well, what a hand-legged engineer thought of turning everything upside down. When you don't know what to improve, all that remains is to spoil it. The volume control was brought up, now you can't just adjust the volume during a conversation (and the phone has become even longer). The camera was hit in the middle. There was a camera on top and everything was fine until they redid it. When photographing, the finger always gets into the camera's view. At the same time, the fingerprint scanner is also inconveniently located. Heavy. Almost nobody mentions this.It weighs 200 grams, while the competitors weigh 150-170. And this one is still noticeable. I'm not even worried about slipperiness (I don't care about slipperiness anyway, I'll buy a cover), but the fact that it's heavy. Sony has now fixed this problem and released the xperia 1 sausage weighing 165 grams. For comparison, the Z5 from which I left weighed 137 grams. The XZ1 weighs 155 grams. And this one is a brick with an old type of battery. And yet talking on a 6 "shovel is harder than talking on a 5.2" shovel, I noticed. The speaker no longer hits the ear. All! If not for ergonomics, I would be happy.
Comment: The phone is beautiful, women will especially like it. But you will use it until the evening. It is unclear what sony is doing, they released the xperia1 sosik for 65 thousand with a guideline that it would be more convenient to play. What's going on in their heads is not clear. Well, apparently, there is nothing more to change, it remains to spoil what is. XZ3 also brick 200 grams, excluded. I advise you to wait until better times until the Sony releases something worthwhile on the camera with huawei, but only with their own taste. I am finishing my review three days later. Well ... I fell in love with him)) where to go. I bought a thin silicone case and it became calmer in my heart and looks cool. And not so heavy already, I'm used to it, here also the apple 11 came out, also weighs 200 grams (there is no purer joy than a neighbor's house is on fire :)). I think it got heavier due to wireless charging. I would not put this crap due to the weight, if there was an opportunity to save 40 grams. the more wireless charges everyone two to three times longer. Or a lot of glass and metal in the case. Also, a new vibration sensor was installed when playing music. I also turned it off after three times. stupidity.

Rus.
Advantages: This is a flagship that does everything perfectly, in the spirit of Sony.
Disadvantages: Really a little slippery case, I advise you to take a cover at least for the first time, I took the cheapest silicone one for 100 rubles. on the stock, it looks great on it. glass. In Super Slow Motion mode there is a small margin of time, about 1 - 2 seconds, you need to catch the moment, it's a pity there is no way to set the speed lower for the sake of the shooting duration.
Comment: To be honest, I'm too lazy to write a review sheet, because if you write for each value, it really will be a lot of text. I will simply say that I am delighted with the phone, I was afraid that, for example, the battery would not be capacious enough, but no, with a small capacity, the energy efficiency is really high, I have enough for a day with a good margin (sometimes 50% remains when I go to bed, STAMINA mode I never turn it on), I don't play games at all, but I constantly listen to music via Bluetooth and sit in VK. Indeed, because of the glass, the phone is a little slippery, I was afraid to wear it without a cover, but over time you get used to it. Super Slow Motion is a bastard, it's a pity the shooting time in this mode is short. The color was gray, because no traces are visible on it. Wireless charging is an excellent addition to this phone, you can forget about the wires altogether, personally I did not take the fast one, I took the usual one, it charges perfectly for 4 hours from 1 ampere, I just put it on at night, the fast one from Sony should charge in 90 minutes. I also noticed such a trick that Bluetooth, when used, interferes with WiFi and the speed drops (to about 10 Mb), this problem, as it turned out not from Sony, but from everyone (even on a laptop), this is the specifics of standards, everyone works at the same frequency 2.4 GHz. It's just that I used to use wired headphones, or did not notice, took out another phone and tested this effect on it, the same thing, alas, they refused from the mini-jack, but this problem remained. The best way out is to switch to a 5 GHz router, sometimes switching the channel and setting the width to 40 MHz helps. I definitely recommend the phone, but for fans of the old design I will tell you that you will be disappointed if you try, over time you get used to it and feel the "charms" of the new design.

Advantages: Decent smartphone. Very decent.
Disadvantages: Tolstish, but it does not spoil the experience. It is possible that the memory could be made 128 gigs, since there are either two SIM cards, or one and a memory card. You could also place the scanner a little higher. A bit pricey. IMHO
Comment: Smart is unusually thick, but this is only in the middle, at the edges it is thin, but at the same time it is not felt in the hand. The camera was very pleased with both the photo and video. Super Slow is really cool! Smart is fast really. The battery holds a charge perfectly, I have enough for two days with a margin. Very good screen. Whoever has money for a cool smart, I can recommend this one. You will get the best hardware for 2018, a top-end camera and a capacious battery.
