  • A pleasantly compact and gorgeous build but with overheating issue

    The phone overall is a good experience, fancy build with glass front and back (which makes it slippery with no case), its snappy with a clean android experience, plenty of display tunes available for media creators, lots of camera pro options to play around... but all the good ends when is starts to overheat and throttle. Of course to blame is the faulty snapdragon gen 888 and the absence of a passive cooling system.
    Overall being a sony phone it really is and gives something different compared to the competition but sadly lacks optimizations.

    Pros
    • camera
    • design
    • sd slot
    • 3.5 jack port
    • lightweight
    Cons
    • overheating
    • slippery
    • fragile(glass front and back)

    The worst phone I've ever owned.

    After a year, the fingerprint sensor stopped working. Soon after, the USB-C port also stopped working properly; it only charges intermittently. It doesn't have facial recognition either. The screen cracks with the slightest drop. The photos... very mediocre; any cheap Chinese phone takes better pictures.

    Pros
    • Good performance in apps
    • Comfortable and lightweight
    • Size
    Cons
    • It does not have facial recognition
    • Very bad fingerprint sensor
    • USB C is very bad
    • Very fragile

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
