The issue with standby is clearly the firmware. Many reviews have pointed out the instability of the current MIUI and I'm certain that this is the source of the battery life which is good, but falls very short of what it should be.
AnonD-473228, 26 May 2017at half the price...and yet as good as xzp...not much to complain
sony bezel compete with lg ... moreWater resistent? No, just splash
4K HDR? No
Front speakers? No
Does it upscale poor quality audio files? No
Super slow mo? No
Great LCD? No
Slot SD? No
Best video stabilization? No

Take away the SD835, the rest is like a Moto G5
Why Sony XZ Premium is missing from comparison in PERFORMANCE segment.. A SD 835 powered phone should be compared with SD 835 or equalent processor.. XZ Premium too outperformed S8 in many tests.. Did Samsung pay you to keep true rivals out of comparison charts??
Even this has stereo and the 1000 dollars Samsung does not..
Shame ..
Good review for a great device.

And that is why gsmarena reviews are still the best. Do not bend to industry gurus and keep on fighting the good fight! Thanks a lot for all your hard work.
Meme Super Rage, 26 May 2017Hi anti-bezzel army where are you? Why bash Sony for having big chin and forehead and not this... moreDon't be daft. The phone has smaller bezels than Sony phones. It has a higher screen to body ratio despite being smaller.
And on top of that it had off-screen buttons too. Sony just has big bezels.
Camera is awful. Slightly better than XZ premium. It competes with Sony Xperia XA but not with other flagships. The phone is crap

sony bezel compete with lg g6 and s8 in price...so..
Convincing enough to upgrade from Mi 5. I will wait at least October though, as I experience significant price drop with my 64GB Mi 5 (I bought mine for $376, now it's priced for only $216). Well, they were marked up anyways, so I guess the margin was just too high initially.
No headphone jack and no SD card slot.
Hold this L Xiaomi.
Even £100 phones have these features. Hope this phone flops so you learn your lesson.
Meme Super Rage, 26 May 2017Hi anti-bezzel army where are you? Why bash Sony for having big chin and forehead and not this... moreSony will 100% not sell even 5 million XZ Premiums... Hate or no hate.
Meme Super Rage, 26 May 2017Hi anti-bezzel army where are you? Why bash Sony for having big chin and forehead and not this... moreI don't know if you noticed this, but Mi 6 has capacitive buttons below the display... plus a fingerprint scanner.
It runs on Nougat but does it have even a single nougat feature?
MIUI ruins it.
The only good thing I like about MIUI is that it is snappy and has that dual space and dual app feature.
Good looking phone, it would have been nice if gsmarena got the blue/gold color variant as review unit!
Hi anti-bezzel army where are you? Why bash Sony for having big chin and forehead and not this phone? Are you just afraid that XZP will succeed?
The battery life is a big disappoitment. The battery life test was the only reason that I have been waiting to make sure. So bad for a top spec phone
Have to disagree at it is worth the markup price of 600. Lack of LTE bands and VoLTE support. No MicroSD slot. It is great for the price, but not so much when it is marked up similar to other flagships.
