I've been using it for a week. So far so good. The battery life is honestly much much better. The resolution is brilliant and so is the audio and voice quality. It does heat up a bit at times during heavy downloading, but hey.... Just dip it in water and it's back to normal
Edit: Yes I gave 4 stars to this item by July. This is september, I regret it. Aug 28: Ear speaker got noisy. Thought it was a signal problem Aug 29: Same issue again. Gave it local service center (Tambaram, Chennai). They gave back after reinstalling the software. Speaker was buzzy again. They said NW quality could be poor. They play one inbuilt sound with lowering the vloume. It was OK Aug 30: Tested the call quality with other SIM card comparing the same in another phone. It is issue with this phone only Aug 31: Resubmitted the phone. This time they accepted and said will make a repair and return back my 3 -5 working days. (When asked about Standby phone, they simply said its currently unavailable) Sep 4: I Called local service center. Got the update as "Waiting for part". ETA 3-4 working days Sep 5; Tried Customer care chat support. I was asked to contact local service center Sep 8: service center guys called me. Got the update as "Waiting for part". ETA 3-4 working days Sep 11: I Called local service center. Got the update as "Waiting for part". ETA 3-4 working days Sep 11: Called customer care. Got update as "Senior person from Sony will give a call back" Sep 14: Sony Senior person called me and heard all my story. At last he said, I will get a update from Regional Head office, following day. Sep 16: Service center guys called me. Got the update as "Waiting for part". ETA 1 hour upon receiving the part. When asked about part status, no answer This phone is still available for Sale in India. But the parts for repair is not available yet. Heard about Moto X Play. Yes I regret for choosing Sony. Have been using for almost one month. Can't say Excellent but Value for money. Flipkart - U will never fail bro ! Pros: - Battery backup is good. Modest usage: 1 day; Heavy usage: 12 - 14 hours Inbuilt stamina and ultra stamina mode gives more benefits while traveling. - Camera is promising. (Except low light environment - Value for money) - System will use about 600 MB RAM without any gaps. After installing some necessary background apps(FB, Whatsapp, Instagram, Truecaller), We will get 1 GB RAM for usage - Internal memory - about 11 GB for user - GPS hiccups most time. But with mobile data or Wifi it will catch easily. - Charging time - 2 hours - Easily accessible power button and Volume rocker (Good for Music on the go) - Water proof (didn't have guts to test it though) - 4G Enabled at right time (didn't test it though) Cons: - Dont ever activate Sony MyXperia protection (Anti-theft app). It almost bricked my phone after Google services got updated. - Heating - Yes it is. Same as all Latest Snapdragon devices - Classic In-ear Ear phones (Like Old Nokia - long end for left and short end for right). Seriously Sony ??.. Not even In-canal headset for 21K - USB Cable + 3-PIN wall charger (Not retractile Ground head)- So I gotta find 3 phase outlet every time i wanna charge..?!
