I haven't had any heat issues with this phone, dual SIM, gaming, or anything else. Very underrated device!

Just a heads up - this does NOT have the fingerprint enabled. Sony is selling the same hardware in all regions with customized software. If you want to flash a different region's FW to enable the fingerprint, you can totally do so. Keep in mind that if you do this and you are keen on using the stock Messages application, it will probably bork group messaging and will send mass texts to people. I used Textra to avoid this issue.

This is one of the few devices running Oreo, and it's camera distortion issue was completely fixed in a recent update as well. It's definitely one of the sexiest phones available, especially if you get the Chrome, Gold or Red. Battery life is absolutely amazing, as I was easily getting 1.5 days of average use. You will also get consistent, timely updates and security patches.

I know all of this, because I owned the device for 5 months. Loved it, but went back to a Pixel after my son was born for the superior camera in low-light.

Low light camera is truly it's only weakness.

Feel like they could have made the design more compact. Only if ps4 remote worked better without lag i would be tempted to get this.

Agreed.

The XZP is borderline perfect.

And the sad part is, SONY makes cameras/camera sensors this should've been a walk in the park for them.

Is there a warranty for this? I'm on Amazon looking at this phone, and apparently there is a warranty for the US version, but not for the international version. Is this the case here as well?

This was definitely one of the final phones I was looking at getting for myself. I had never seen one so I went to best buy and walked around for 20 minutes totally missing the tiny Sony display. Very solid phone. Screen looks great. Add in ps4 remote play and well if it hadn't been for tmobile dropping price on the z2 force droid I'd be getting this Sony today.
If my memory serves me right it's also one of the few phones with the faster x16 Qualcomm modems. For those of you who care about such things.

It is sad, the sensor should be amazing, has the same pixel size as the iphone and larger pixels than LG flagships, but gets destroyed by them.

OIS helps the other two, but it shouldnt be a blow out like it is. That should just lead to some extra grain from higher iso used/faster shutter.
