To the owners of the Xperia 5 - what is your opinion of the bottom facing speaker?

I was close to pulling the trigger for one, but then I have noticed this "feature", I am used to dual front facing speakers on my Z5 Compact and thought this bottom facing speakers is kinda weird.

usage - watching movies/youtube on my phone

thank you :)

            Had the worst vibration motor I have ever known.
            The haptic feedback when texting screamed cheap.

                    Anyone here facing the "ghost removed your simcard" issue? The phone is restarting itself due to the "sim card is remove", while you just leave it there without doing anything. I met this problem for numerous times already and factory reset doesn't free me from this issue.

                              I have bought this phone last week from someone on eBay for 400GBP.
                              To be honest, I'm really disapppointed.
                              The camera is not good at all, when you zoom through the main camera it just blurs the image and you can't really see what you're taking a picture of. (Tried to autofocus, no change).
                              The battery life is not good, I get about 4 hours of screen on time, mostly watching YouTube and browsing on Instagram/Facebook.
                              Overall I am going back to my S10+, as I am more comfortable with it and perhaps will buy S20 in the future...

                                2. Sim + SD Card
