 Okay here goes.

- Can Daydream VR be used unofficially on the XZP?

- How is overheating on the phone? Does it get hot from any lengthy game sessions or 4k recording?

- Can file sizes above 4GB be stored on micro SD cards slotted in the phone? (File systems like NTFS or EXFAT or the like supported basically)

Asked elsewhere, but not answered yet:
Out of the box, what Apps are displayed in full 4K?  Please include any and all!
Thanks!

Have not experienced any kind of overheating or anything beyond warm, even streaming 4k

Shouldn't be a problem with EXFAT, I'll test later

Hi @RoboticBot! I see that you got a reply from one of the developers in your thread, which was that the Album app and many video apps support 4K while in landscape - and aside from that it uses Full HD. Complete reply found here.

To try and give you a more complete list of apps, I will forward it internally and let you know as soon as I receive some more information!

Even though I own the XZP, I have one question. When its dark, I can see a sensor blinking when the screen is on (you can see that sensor on the picture). What sensor is that? I think its next to the approximate sensor.

it's blinking red in the dark, isn't it? yes, it's a proximity sensor. it's supposed to emit infrared light but its frequency is very close to the range of the spectrum of the visible light, so you can see it sometimes.

Do you enable 'Adaptive brightness' option in display settings? If so, that is the phone's ambient light sensor.

Does moving apps to microsd have would cause a performance drop instead of it being resided in the internal storage? (which is UFS 2.1)?
