Android ONE platform completely kills Xperia experience

Parth Pate (Nov 28, 2017) on Gadgets 360

Worst ever Sony product. Poor display quality. Angle view and sunlight visibility. Below average camera performance. Simple shakes blurs image quality, even in best auto modes. No gesture click for selfies. Lagging is a usual in simple use and scroll. Poor customization facility due to basic(lowest) android ONE platform. No theme feature. Inability to install all usual Sony apps even from play store. Like Album, Walkman, Music, Xperia Keyboard, file manager etc. (can you believe?) Battery and sound quality are only things gives satisfaction.
