Сегодня купил xz premium. С начало отпечаток при прикосновения работал. А теперь нет. Срабатывает если нажимаешь, а потом прислоняеш. Что  делать? Я переживаю, такую сумму отдал. Я перезагружал тел. Не помогло. Помогите пожалуйста! 

Today I bought xz premium. From the beginning the imprint worked when touched. And now no. It works if you press, and then prislonyaesh. What to do? I worry, I gave that amount. I rebooted the bodies. Did not help. Help me please!

@Afony123 maybe go to Settings > Lock screen & security > Fingerprint manager, delete the fingerprint you have set up and add it again? adding fingerprints sometimes takes couple tries before you manage to make it work the way you want.

To unlock the XZP with Fingerprint. You MUST press the lock button(Press it once, then it reads your fingerprint). Without pressing the lock button, it would not unlock.

Having moved from Android 5.1.1, I find it odd that in text conversations (using standard Android App) you can't delete multiple parts of the conversation as you could previously, you only have the option of deleting the entire conversation, or one text at a time. This seems like a backward step.

I also miss the Xperia Ansering Machine, that was brilliant. The fact I didn't have to call an outside voicemail number and cycle through a bunch of stuff or have to remember a PIN, that it was all doable within the phone was a masterstroke! It would be awesome if Sony brought that back (please).

Other than that still getting used to the difference in size between the phones, but so far so good

1. No

2. Germany

3. Nokia Lumia 920

4. Design

5. Yes

First XZP was returned due to dents on the edges of the silver layer below the glass layer on the front panel. Second XZP has the same issue this time on the back panel (discovered recently), which is now in service with great hope of return without any service-damages... 

This is a result of "Made in China", chinese quality understanding is different from western hemisphere. Poor education, bad, rough an rush construction...

I absolutely love the Xz premium. The camera and video quality is amazing. The speed of the processor is amazing and it's such an easy phone to use. The updates are Completed fast. I would never go back to samsung i previously had a samsung s7 and hated it. This phone boasts quality and quantity.

1. No, I didn't.

2. Myanmar

3. HTC Wildfire S, Sony Ericson Xpera Arc S, Samsung S3, Xperia SP, iPhone 5C, Xperia Z Ultra, iPhone 5, Xperia Z2, iPhone 6s.

4. Everything won't  become wow as expected. Frame rate is not smooth while watching music video. Audio is sometimes distorted when clear bass is up. A bit heavy in weight. Yellow tinted screen compare to demo simple one in seller though I want pure white. Testing screen in diagnostic settings show that white is not balance in all screen especially in edges. Reflective bazzel is not good for seeing screen. I like wide tall screen and its design. I like fingerprint scanner. I added many fingerprints according to my usage. Speed performance is great. I like stereo speakers but lower speaker volume output is lower than upper. Camera is good. I don't use camera too much but audio quality is why I choosed XZP according to uesrs' reviews. But not that great as their reviews. May be I am expected too much to make Wow. Hope Sony can manage them in the future firmware update to fix them due to high hardware capabilities. I like intelligent A.I. Mic is great. If can wake the screen up without pressing power button but with just fingerprint is really will be nice. 

5. Yes, I do want to help Sony better to make believe.

Initial impression was absolutely amazing, Camera was out of this world! then after about 3 weeks (definately after the 14 day return period) i started experiencing problems with the rotation and random freezing. this seems to have been sprted to an extent but i still get a problem with, when i am in a phonecall the screen goes black so if you are calling someone and they dont answer, i am unable to hang up, leaving a lot of unwanted answerphone messages. I have also found that the camer is a tale of 2 stories. Unbeatable when out in the sun but any hint of unnateral light, the photos are worse than on my galaxy s6 which is 2 years old. The other thing which i am disgusted with, is the state of the slow motion camera as unless in bright sunlight, it is unuseable. the quality is worse than on my HTC ONE M7 which is about 4 years old. I pre ordered this phone after hearing such amazing things and feel like I have been lied to especially as I am now tied to this phone for 2 years. One of the main reasons i got this phone was the slow motion camera and also the fact that yourself and many reviewers said the camera is one of if not the best in the business and i cannot use either unless in bright sunlight, which, as I reside in England is such a rarity i may aswell not have it. This is the first Sony phone I have bought since the sony ericsson T610 so a very long time and unfortunately i will not be buying another due to this. Maybe I have been spoilt by other manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, even Apple but in this day and age, a camera that can be used in most settings should be a given, especially as i had it on my 4 year old htc. I now have to sell this phone and pay an extra £200 - £300 for a phone i could have had in the beginning. The other positive i have about this phone is the design and speed of apps etc which should be expected from the latest chip. I just feel let down by promises made that are not true.
