    Every single phone I would currently consider switching to from my U11 isn't perfect. Which is annoying. Both pixel 2's have odd hardware designs. Note 8 software and fingerprint position would bother me. Huawei mate 10 pro has odd software quirks. Sony xz premium is 64gb internal storage I like 128gb. LG V30+ is currently for sale on adverts.......tempted. But lg are poor for software updates! Argh.

    Sony XZ Premium has external microSDXC support (up to 256GB).
    I have had about 15 Android phones. None apart from this one has been current and usually previous years flagship.
    I can honestly say that I will not be looking to change this phone for at least 2 years (except if anything far superior comes out in the meantime…).

    I know ya, but I find the performance of the phone with a large amount of data, in my case music, is better with it stored on the internal storage.

    I generally like Sony but the phones just look like slabs... The square design with large top and bottom bazels just feels lazy

    I thought that at first and was one of my concerns. It does seem old fashioned and almost every review slates the design. But it’s a great place for the thumbs when playing a game (like the Razer phone). The likes of the new Samsung’s means that all of the front is taken up and it makes it very awkward for me with my XXL hands anyways. The speakers are also on the front, so that also takes up space.

    I for one am glad that they are not (yet) following the rest.

    Yes, they started rolling it out towards end of October and monthly updates since then.

    Just want to mention how good the battery life is. Its currently at 44% and not been charged since 7.30am. Prior to this, I have rarely got to 7.00pm before having to charge any of the previous phones.
