Sony Xperia Pro-I 5G 512GB Smartphone, Multicolor, (Refurbished)

The only issues I ever have with it I think are purely my own. I wasn't vigilant and I think there is some kind of points system exploiting my information. The phone will automatically scan and connect to wifi. Unfortunately I did not turn this off before I was aware of it and it connected to my work's open wifi. Now whenever I try to do a hard reset, Africans straight up swarm my location. Legitimately people from the continent of Africa. I don't know its countries well enough to say from which one. But I've lived in Atlanta all my life. I know Americans. I know African Americans. I know Africans, Yankees, etc. People showing up with their "new" never before seen selves on the scene. Also the equalizer is not at all on par with what Sony Xperia's were even 5 or 7 years ago. Definitely not even close to Samsung's . You can download equalizers off the google play store but whatever software is on the phone is constantly trying to take over and everything sounds terrible. Its like Sony wants you to here everything real crisp. The issue I think I am having the most is with a Bluetooth connection in my car that does not happen with any other phone, but its like it tries to listen and then adjust the sound on its own, but there is a delay and I don't think its being compensated for and it is extremely aggravating. I honestly can not even use the phone in my car. Its trash. Personally I want to here things a certain way. I can manipulate the different frequencies in an even 10 band equalizer and get the reverb. Yes there are several audio settings and there is even a dolby equalizer but it maxes everything at 5 and you really can not tell the difference. I think its just there to let people feel like they are masters of thier world. Bottom line; the phone just aint having it. You can either take the sound quality it will adjust and control for you which is just flat semi ok not even fm radio quality or listen to the rado. Maybe Sony is trying to do the Apple thing where everything you have has to be Sony for it to be enjoyed at its full potential. Which is kind of sad because I really pumped up Sony to be better than the samsungs I've had. Now somehow with all the raw capability this phone has its being forced to be less than what it is. The camera app is pretty cool and yes it is unparalleled in its capability. A lot of people say the AI isn't up to square with other manufacturers but that isn't true. Do your homework and if you set the aspect ratio to match google and samsung, it is just as clear in basic mode. Again I got people, xgirl friends and of course their obsessors* so my personal issues with this phone I fully contribute to people who can't get past me. Personally I don't like cake. But if I am going to buy one, why would I not eat it too?

Very awesome phone

Truly premium device. The hardware and design of the phone is beautiful yet rugged while still being lightweight. The software is minimalistic but still includes features and updates.

Nice phone it the best one that I have ever own, 500 Gb card with 2Tb SD card. Just one problem with it you can not move apps to external SD card, it will not let you.

Although I could cook with it camping; the phone doesn't work the camera overheats in minutes, it gets to hot to handle or talk on during calls, the screen freeze and you have to wait for it to die before you can restart, camera comes on and phone gets extremely hot in my pocket. All in all this is absolutely garbage with a fancy camera you can't use without welding gloves.

Got this phone after a review that failed to mention the phone is old from a few years ago and no longer gets any updates. The phone gets REALLY hot when using it, especially the camera. The signal reception is REALLY bad. I rarely get 5G LTE signal let alone more than 2 bars of 5G signal so everything loads slowly or not at all.
