I know that there are more options, but I also can get a refurbished or second hand XZ Premium for roughly $98 dollars (excluding shipping and import taxes) on Aliexpress. With a bit more money ($148, again excluding shipping and import taxes), I can get a Xperia 5, but it will be the Japanese version.
I'm most interest in the video experience of Cinematic Pro for Xperia phones and want to do home-made music videos all "do it yourself" style, but that's not an urgency. If I can't get a Sony phone, I'll go with a Samsung S10e/S10/S10+. These aren't cheap here as these Sony I mentioned, but the price stills fair, it's easier to get them and Samsung repair centers still has extra batteries, screen and anything I might need to replace.

How does it perform nowadays? Does it heat while filming videos? 4GB RAM is enough?
I'm thinking about using it as a digital camera for specific purposes because of its pocket friendly size, but I don't know how reliable it would be in performance and camera, even with great specs up to this days.
I would be grateful if an actual user could help me. Thanks!

casouzaj, 28 Jul 2023Isn't the card formatted as FAT (or FAT32)? This file ... moreMy point is that on Sony Xperia's Japanese variants, we can't transfer files larger than 4 GB to external microSD card at one attempt by default while on other Android phones it's normal task. And that's very frustrating to me. Also VoLTE doesn't work on these versions.

Can't move file larger than 4 GB to external storage on Japanese version (model SO-04J). Also VoLTE isn't available. Worst model ever.

I've always been a lover of Sony since the days Sony Ericsson, but sadly my Sony Xperia XZ Premium disappointed me, firstly from the battery to the speaker as it lasted 2 years (from 2017-2019), before it started giving me issues. Even the Sony Xperia Z i bought in 2013 is still working till date.
That model Sony Xperia XZ Premium didn't hold up in value and integrity in any way!

It's a shame that this phone doesn't have more upgrades... It deserves Android 13! The 807 ppi density is still unbeatable in the market today!

i m a huge fan of sony xperiaXZ premium. been using it for 5 years and still working. I saw some people selling it never used (in box) for the price of $200. I m interested buying it but not sure how long more the phone can cope with the current/future technology like playing youtube, browsing some website etc... i thought with $200 at least i can make use of the 960 fps camera capture mode which is fantastic.

It fell 50 times maybe without protection and nothing happened. It works also fine with a controller and xbox game pass, click the phone on a joystick, signing in microsoft and play.

I would ... moreI like this phone too but the phone can only be ultimately updated to android 9.0 which is the most considered point and also concerned about, if you will use any modern apps today they will require higher version of Android such as mobile banking apps and social media apps but if we are talking about hardware specs ,this model is still perfect even today ,all i know is this model is the 1st ever model that has 120Hz refresh rate BUT this function was closed in ROM Code writing if you want to use 120Hz it needs to do a ROM flashing which is too complicated and risk of permanent damage ,this phone should be used as a backup phone ,the display is flawless and still beat the today flagships ,sony used the BRAVIA technology with the screen
