Plus this phone size is equivalent to the s9 just taller by 1cm or so, why are people so butt hurt by like 1 or 2 cm.
Stop thinking in the past with your 16:9 this and that. There are a TON of other things to do on a smartphone with this tall display. Not only watching movies..
Personality I think it's great for multitasking, writing, working with 2 apps in the same time and so on.
Also VLC has multiple aspect ratios to choose from. And don't forget the black sides consume 0 power with OLED which is great.
To understand why this "trend" is happening you have to thank fb and insta for making infinite scrolling pages. Also, with flexible displays we'll all be wearing our smartphones on our wrists in 5 years or so. Tall displays are just the prelude for that in my opinion.
I'm not into wearing my smartphone but I like tall displays :)

So no advantages in length at all. Just trend nonsense design.
Oh, but, i guess its better for japanese book reading, as they read and write from up downwards.
Yup, only japanese seem to get some proper advantage with this silly aspect.

I'm sorry, but this is just stupid. 18:9 is bad enough. 19.5:9 is terrible. What is this? A high end smartphone whose screen aspect ratio is purely of use for 21:9 movies? Seriously? The vast majority or people use their phones for messaging, photos, viewing photos, and productivity. This aspect is HOPELESS for that.

If you buy a Huawei flagship it will cost the same as a samsung or sony flagship. Maybe Huawey flagship is even more expensive. So what the hell are you talking about ?
Sony Xperia XZ4 will be really TALL and BIG only if
they try to copy all the specs of the SAMSUNG's
flagship Galaxy Note 9 !

The only luxury brands are Vertu and maybe but only maybe Gresso.
Anything else is far from Luxury.
And that russian company which makes phones from real gold is not counted because they make many brands.

Thats heavy. Compared to Xiaomi or Huawei devices with weight under 200 grams usualy under 180.

Which is in fact more bang to bucks but far from being better than luxury brands, look at Huawei when they tried to be luxury their prices became so not Chinese.
Okay writer should have mentioned that a case size doesn't represent the smartphone size but it helps, it can be taller and wider than the phone by at least 3mm.
Have the same cover for my XZ3 and it looks the same size ..
A real shame that there's no 3.5mm jack. I might understand if you could but a usbc to 5 pole adapter to use the noise cancelling earphones which Sony supported since 2014 but I guess they still just don't care.

Even the siemens Xelibri lines were a lot more impresive than a Sony phone.
Mike, 10 Jan 2019Enjoy your cutting-edge Huawei Xiaomi Redmi Pixel design A lot better option than Sony brick with nothing special on it and asking 300 more buck for Sony logo.
Anonymous, 10 Jan 2019You don't even know how it looks likeLike last 6-7 Sony phones which are equal in look.
Boring heavy brick with nothing special for a price of an ancient relic even if its just a fake looking copycat phone.
