Chap1, 01 May 2019This is my question to u and to all others who bother us here,there,everywhere about updates-c... moreOn my phone i have my banking apps, amazon, ebay etc. that contain information which i and you wouldn't want exposed to the public so we want a certain level of protection for the phone which contains those apps. On the computer we have antiviruses and regular windows updates which help prevent hackers taking advantage of app or computer vulnerabilities to acces our documents but on a phone there is no such things instead we have patches that fix the bugs in the android software when found preventing criminals from taking advantage of such bugs to gain access to our phone and install screen recorders or various nefarious apps. Every electronic device with an internet connection can be hacked and have data stolen from them but if you regularly patch certain system files hacking said device becomes more difficult. If security updates weren't important no one would get them but EVERYONE gets regular security updates on their pcs, consoles, smart devices hell even refrigerators have security updates nowadays so why is a phone which holds all your important information and banking details not receiving those security updates ? Long gone are the days where phones were secure especially with all the information you have inside them, all your life is inside your phone so why shouldn't you want to protect it ? So take my advice and buy a different phone because sony isn't supporting this anymore.

Shak23, 11 Apr 2019You do know the Mate 20 was made to rival 2019 flagship right obviously it will have a lead on... moreYes obviously. Maybe Xperia 1 can win over current P30 Pro for daylight & video recording, but definitely not in low lights department. While it will definitely better than XZ2 Premium, it can never beat the hardware goodies in P30 Pro, bigger sensor, bigger pixel size & the RYYB sensor, makes it the current champ on low lights department.
Then Mate 30 Pro will came out this year around October, with better hardware than P30 Pro. Its a never ending cycle. But its good that Sony makes a right direction for their camera department now.

I actually own this phone now, and I have to say, I absolutely love it. It's heavy, sure, but the reviewers all make it sound so much worse than it actually is. And it's chunky, but Sony has used that to their advantage by making it super comfortable to hold.

The specification said AptX HD. I check it with AptX checker and it said NO APTX support. It also failed to playback my music files of wma format >VBR 320kbps. It simply skips the files. My old Samsung Note 3 can play them back. How come a new high-end model can't? Do I need a codec pack? Please help. BTW, if you have to put it on a holder, say when driving, please note that it always clip on the power button.

Just got the february update so apparently they changed it from monthly updates to quarter updates but the phone works great either way because apart from security the performance is still pretty much the same so top notch.

Ammar, 21 Feb 2019I have feb security patch on mine xz2 premium patch# 52.0.A.3.202I'm still stuck on November with mine, maybe i'll get the February one in march but that's still 2/3 😈 months old security update. I just hope we get Android 10 when that comes out next year and the phone works great in everything and battery life is great so no more obsessing over it.

This phone is great and works without a hitch but apparently it has been abandoned software wise. Last update for my phone was on OCT 30 which is more than 3 months ago so it has Android Pie but no more security updates or patches after that update so it's a nice phone with a marvelous 4K screen but if you're looking for extra security and timely updates this phone is to be avoided. Is anyone beyond OCT 30 with the updates ?

Shui8, 01 Feb 2019I'm coming from a lot of Xperia flagship before switch to Huawei. No, no matter what, Mate 20 ... moreSensor size and pixel size + more manual controls doesn't make the camera automatically better when it comes to pictures because sensor type and quality also matters so either my cousin has a bad camera on his M20pro or it's the software's fault either way the camera on the xz2p is not worse and actually does better in some situations regardless of the sensor size.
I have my xz2p updated and the colors look natural to me and i did try to play with pro mode and change some settings but not that much difference either way. Be it as it may it is still a 19MP camera so there is a drop in quality either way and since the AI of the Huawei phone changes the settings automatically it will probably be more suitable for less knowledgeable people. To each his own i guess as i myself prefer and love the 16:9 aspect ratio over the strange 19.5:9. Either phone you're getting they're both good enough for the average consumer but another thing the xz2p is loud af when compared to most other phones especially since it has both front firing speakers. Overall i prefer the XZ2p for some of the subtle differences plus i already had burn in on my S8 because if i din't i wouldn't had even bought a new phone so i am biased against amoled screens which most phones have these days.
