It got off to a lacklustre start, with agonizingly languid start up, and mostly vacant firmware. There is also a tiny glass adhesion imperfection upper on the main screen which I had to fix. I am now otherwise pretty happy with my Xperia 1 III Violet, It started to do just about everything I want with none of the foibles and overheating probs of my original 4G Xperia 1. I will always miss some things that did though, otherwise Sony has come up with a classy product here.

The phone I ordered is in good condition and arrived quickly but the battery life on the device states it is between 50% and 80% which is a shame

So far so good, turned up in excellent condition, barely any marks on it at all. Great camera and display! Very happy with it. Came with a generic charging cable, I already had an official Sony one so all good.
