sorted byIts a great size, battery lasts long time, pictures and video can be amazing but its not quite a quick point and shoot camera, however it has so many options that you can get some amazing shots.
Its also waterproof, has a headphone jack, MicroSD card slot (I have 512GB in mine), Note: Burst mode shots will only save to Internal memory, but these can be moved to SD card after.
Its a great phone for the price, especially if you want something a bit different to everyone else.
The one downside I've found, and I'm not sure if it's just a problem with my device is that it seems a bit overzealous in killing tasks. For example, it sometimes kills the app that I'm listening to for podcasts, which is annoying. Apart from that it's great.
Unsure if these can be backed up on this phone prior to unlocking the boot loader
Running accubattery to check battery health. Although they say at least 80% I'm expecting it to be close to 100% given its like new and presumably a customer return.
Performance and screen seem nice. (edited)
However. Fettle with the settings and different modes and you can get some amazing shots.
Just be aware, this leans towards natural colours and scene. None of the heavy HDR/immediately Insta looks.
Every other aspect, personally I'd say it's an upgrade
It was so hard to find a phone these days that still has SD card + 3.5mm jack but that also had a decent camera, but then i was lucky to find Sony Xperia after almost giving up searching.
The only downside i have found is taking low light pictures, and the LED light on the back is very dim compared to my Samsung phone.
Just moved over from long time Samsung user to Sony Xperia, and it's been great so far. Hacked off that none of the top Samsung phones no longer have SD card support and got rid of 3.5mm jack some time ago is a pain. Been stuck using my S9 for last 5 years and was looking at a S20 as a compromise upgrade as still had SD card.

Night shots cold be better
I'm sure I'll find the camera auto quality frustrating with this, but I'd rather have the odd great shot than consistently good results which never look natural.
Battery life on pixel 6 has dropped very fast.
I think this is the max I am willing to pay for a smartphone in every 6 years!
Thanks
Find the Xperia form factor just perfect
Been keen to move on from pixel 6 for a while for no good reason.
Security update was 1st April 2023
Google Play System Update was 1 March 2023
What issues you having?
Just be aware whilst the DAC in the Xperia is good, it's not as good as V60
A bit overwhelmed by the video pro app but hopefully it's not as complicated as it looks.
Think this'll be my favourite handset to date!
The only things i could see differently or better on the 4 was
Faster CPU, bigger battery, brighter screen, wireless charging, 12 mp front camera.
Have they sorted the CPU overheating on the 4 as that put me off a bit?
Cheers (edited)
