Alrighty Peeps, this is actually the XZ Premium, not the standard XZ. I have been rocking this bad boi for around half a year now. Honestly at this price it's incredibly worth it. 4K HDR screen, Semi-great camera, fast updates, stock android, fast internal memory, headphone jack, sd card slot, waterproof, phone keeps getting better with updates as well.
I do have a few scratches in my screen over half a year of use, one of which is pretty deep.
Ask me anything!
*edit* Oh Snap, US Model. No fingerprint sensor initially enabled but it's easy to flash any other ROM to regain the FP sensor. I have been using the HK rom on mine (since it was an international edition), and I've had zero issues on T-Mobile using ST.
*edit edit* I have the "Chrome" or as I like to call it the Mirror Edition. Fair warning, if you're in a meeting and you look at your phone a lot ignoring what's going on because you don't really know why you're at this weekly meeting again the mirror finish is also on the front so changes are you'll blind yourself with the lights above reflecting into your eyes. And it'll reflect the light onto the ceiling as well so people will notice if you're on your phone. The Deepsea Black is actually a really cool black / blue color. There is also this fire red version but that's available on Amazon.

ZomNomNomDo you have a link for steps / process that would flash the ROM to enable the FP sensor?

dinedalHere's a basic guide for the XZ Premium: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz-premium/help/flashing-generic-fw-simple-guide-t3652103 Newflasher: https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/progress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426
All you really need to grab is a non-US firmware, I'm currently using the Journalists one since it tends to come with less additional apps pre-installed. Also, from my experience, anytime you flash there's a high probability that your data will be corrupted in some fashion, requiring a wipe, so just be aware of the possibility.

ZomNomNomWow, Massdrop should've totally offered that red version. Thanks for letting me know it exists, though!

Almost just got one myself but the XZ2 line is being announced at the end of the month. Hope they keep the red!
