Even if Sony is a pretty nice brand, this phone is utterly bullshit. Using last gen specs for new gen prices with kinda terrible build material (and other specs).
You can just get a RedMagic 7 for like 550 euro and having same + top notch specs (except camera which is only 64mpx, but more then enough for normal usage)

Redmagic 7 looks like a poor choice for anything but gaming.
Not great reviews at all if you intend to use as everyday phone. Garbage camera apparently too.
And yes its ugly.
(Also I would not buy a phone made and designed by a Chinese company. But that's just me)

If you want a phone with expandable storage, 3.5mm jack and IP68 water resistance. Sony is the only game in town. Say what you will about the specs, but I cannot fault the build quality of the xperias. My only major problem is the repairability of them.
