Why do phones suck so much nowadays?

No I returned it and just went back to my Moto G4 and replaced the lens with a tempered glass one.

It's called USB Debugging mode.

Unless the fingerprint sensor is in the physical home button.

People use them for something besides making phone calls.

There’s your problem. Sony isn’t exactly keen on stability when it comes to any phone other than Ericsson.

If you want a more viable stable phone alternativw, I suggest either an unlocked LG, or an unlocked Galaxy that’s NOT made in China or Korea (they have 5 different regional variations, all different quality), not to mention they’re the only top tier ones still nice enough to gave a headjack.
