Bought the C32 and finding it really slow in refresh response and opening up apps etc. It crashes a lot as well. Have to switch off and one as least once a day. I have gone back to Nokia after using the Sony all phones are so expensive now and I refuse the line the provers pockets. Will look at a 5G phone and probably get this one or the newest Nokia phone
