Sony Xperia XZ3
Worth it if…Worth it, with caveats.
An odd-looking phone with a very good HDR screen and a much improved camera.

In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“just generally it's a bit of a weird phone”
“there is a lot to like here. The HDR screen is very good, especially with video”
“that battery life alone is enough for me to not want to use it daily”
“my only reservation about this is that even though Sony phones have traditionally had great camera hardware”
“their camera software which is half the battle in itself has been quite a bit weaker than rivals like Google”
