This looks to be a welcome return to form for Sony. Loved my Sony phones and reluctantly moved after the untimely death of my Z5. It seems like they have ticked most of the boxes for a flagship phone, with the exception being a smaller than average battery and no headphone jack. The camera seems to finally have stepped up to the plate and delivered on the potential previous Xperias have only hinted at.

It's a pity they are no longer ranged in NZ as I think it would be an ideal replacement for my P20 Pro when I look to upgrade.
