Xperia XZ1 Issues

I purchased a brand new XZ1 recently, and noticed below issues with the phone.
Curious to know if anyone else in this forum is facing similar issues, and if there are any fixes available (or if I should return my phone - which I don't want to do unless these are due to manufacturing defects).
1. The speaker sounds tinny when used as a speakerphone. Increasing the volume distorts the quality further, and even at high volume I'm unable to hear the calls properly.

2. While playing audio, the sound is noisy and muffled. I modified the equalizer settings which mitigated this issue, however there is still considerable amount of noise when using the speaker.
3. The Wi-fi doesn't scan most of the available networks. I have a Blackberry which finds almost twice as many Wi-fi signals as my XZ1.
4. The last fully charged date on my Battery settings shows as 35 days ago, and the Wi-fi data usage date starts from a month ago. I purchased the phone only a couple of days ago, so I'm wondering if it might be a refurbished one, or if the settings is showing the factory installation date.

I don't experience any of above symptoms.

Maybe you should send it to service.

This phone has too many issues... I wish I wouldn't buy it... 

I ve got all of them you mention, plus:

-thetouch screen sometimes recognizes scrolling as a tap and opens whatever in its way...

-Internet connection and lte connection is poor. Internet fails too much, 1 out of 3 times i open something in chrome it doesn't load and I have to go back and open it again. (wifi icon is full, router is new, all other devices works as they should)

It's my second Sony phone after Xperia L that I bought in 2012, I won't buy another one ever again. They don't care, they just sell hardware in a box.

I only have 1 issue that bother me, I lose my network and I can't search for it again even after putting it in airplane mode, the only solution is to reboot the phone and it does that almost every day. Right now I'm using the phone aboard (roaming) and I don't have that issue after 5 days of use...

I had the French Orange firmware and changed it to generic French and still the same
