Okay. First off, this is one nice looking device. It's called Deep Sea Black but it's more like a sapphire color a little darker than the XZ I had before. I'm seriously considering going back to Nougat as I'm not very fond of Oreo's settings app. The phone is fast and it barely gets warm.
I've grown to really enjoy Sony's skin since it reminds me of BlackBerry's take on Android. I abhor all the Play apps (Photos, Music, etc.) so it's nice to have a gallery and file manager that syncs with OneDrive.
A few pictures here and there revealed an above average camera. The neatest trick is the 4K resolution which I tried casting to my 4K tv. I have to have a little bit of webOS in my life so it's an LG

.
It's early but this one may prove to be a keeper. I know I have no credible history to believe that but this one may be the one.
