Problem with Build Quality

Hey guys,

I have two problems with my XZ Premium. There are two factors which don't feel premium at all:

- The cap for SD makes eeking-noises when pressing the phone on that point. It does feel like it's about to crack but not stable at all. Maybe in future iterations of those phones you can make it more solid? Otherwise the whole frame feels amazing

- The volume-rockers are very lightly in their frame. They have space from about 1-mm and moves in its area. It even lifts with the finger when touching it with sticky fingers for example.

Those two parts don't feel premium at all. I didnt have problems with both of it on My Z5, it felt very solid but this is bad for a phone which costs as much as other very capable contestors.

So you mean it does not feel flexible when you squeeze it?

No, it's very nice to the touch. I say that the top and bottom are made of tinted aluminum and metallic rods or with a blow wears the varnish. I do not understand why to manufacture it in three different materials. The plastic on the sides would have been ideal. Thank you

I have the volume keys lose as well... it's normal and I experienced it with almost every xperia device except the Z series.

I am a little relieved. How about the cap of the sd? Is it squeeking a little as well or rock-solid?
