Unfortunately a bad buy. Sony also offers a 16 GB version... but not in Switzerland (at least this model is not listed anywhere).
Only 8GB of internal memory is a real problem, as only about 4GB net is still available. Already during the first installation, after a few apps, I received the message that 85% of the memory was already occupied, and it was recommended to delete apps! The use of an optional SD card does not really help, as many apps cannot be swapped from the internal memory to the SD card. I only managed to install the most important apps with some effort. Today I got a message after an update, but not enough internal memory! Delete unnecessary files! I have already moved everything that is possible to the SD card... so delete apps again... Update... and install again. No guys, this is no fun. Device actually great... but not recommendable because of too small internal memory. I now understand why Apple and now also Samsung no longer offer SD expansion, it's a mess.
Pro
- Good workmanship
- Waterproof and dustproof
- Good speed
- Would be perfect, but (see Contra)
Contra
- Internal memory 8GB = net 4GB is far too little to be able to install apps sensibly
- After standard installation, already message that memory is 85% occupied
- System update almost impossible as internal memory is permanently full
- SD card does not help either as many apps cannot be moved to SD card

Stuck in the bootloader
I bought this phone for my father and unfortunately it turned out to be a serious mistake. After about 4 months you suddenly couldn't start it up. It got stuck in the boot screen or it would show the sony logo, shut down, show the sony logo, shut down again and so on until you did a hardshutdown or it ran out of battery. We sent it for repair, got a new one 4 months later, same thing. Tedious and a pity as the Sony brand is otherwise known as a good brand, I use the Xperia Z series myself.
Almost perfect
Top device; too little memory and slow.

Better to buy a more expensive Experia Phone right away!
It looks beautiful, super display, good user interface, good camera with super additional functions, but too little main memory.

Tip top for the price
The price-performance ratio is definitely right. The apps start a little slowly in some cases
Pro
- Price-performance
- Display
- Battery (with Stamina mode active)
- Expandable memory
Contra
- Partly a little slow
Very good price/performance ratio
Can be safely recommended
