Thinking to get a Sony Xperia XZ and am wondering if they can be fixed and how durable they are

Would appreciate phone(s) engineer inputs

ddjay:
The only problem with sony Xperia phones is that they are "EXPENSIVE" and nothing else, so if you have money to spend, go ahead. That xz can buy you plenty tecno, infinix, umidigi etc. You can also add money and buy any of the xz2, xz3 series (2018 models) or the cheaper xa2 series

Though I have never used a Sony device, but my knowledge of smartphones is fairly wide, and I'd say Sony is pretty much a good deal.

Naturally, I think at the highest level of Smartphones, we have iPhone, Samsung, Pixel, and Sony, in no particular order. Sony is top dog. What are we talking about? Durability? Sony was the among the first to start the water resistant thing. Xperias are built to be Solid. The camera is one of the best you'd ever get in a device. Display is top-notch. Speed, no be here.

Sony isn't a phone that anyone should buy with doubts. It's durable. And how often does your phone spoil? Sony phones come with Gorilla Screens, but you can add screen guards for extra support, and make use of phone guards too.

Of a truth, Sony is a very brilliant device. Their phones from 2013 would beat most Androids today. No jokes. Look it up yourself.

Thanks.... the problem that makes me hesitate is reviews I saw, mostly on Amazon... quite a few say they are fantastic but can go dead at NO notice and not many engineers can handle Japanese built phones

That's why I asked input from "engineers"... If I find someone who can handle, I definitely will go for one....

I would gladly pick sony z3 Of 2013 over that tecno phantom 9.

ddjay:
Even a 2011 Sony Ericsson is better than the phantom 9 sef

Wizywiz:
I will gladly pick the sony z3 2013 over redmi note 7 and even the k20 whatever

skywalker240:



am rolling here already, but i agree with you.

Elpacino481:
Where were Tecno, Infinix in fact even Samsung when Sony (Ericsson) was King?

mastig:
I use an xperia xz2 and I can tell you it's super fast, the benchmark shows it's a truly flagship, very rugged and durable, I had to sell my Huawei p30lite which though flashy and alluring isn't powerful or strong as the Sony and their ip68 rating is the icing too.

I totally agree with. My Sony Z1 of 2013 is still rocking till date. Only changed battery once. Phone is very fast with just 2GB of ram. This is truly a rugged phone. This post is via Sony Xperia Z1

Lawrencestix:

Elpacino481:
till date Sony is the fastest android. goto youtube and watch the speed test between Xperia 1 and Galaxy S10+. I respect Sony any day anytime. too bad they don't market their products here
