Yann, 15 Mar 2018You definitely working for SONY or you're just blind fan.
I own XZP, but i'm not blind.
This... moreproblem with sony is probably most of its technical engineers dont use theirown products. so they cannot feel the weaknesses.
most of apple technical engineers use iphone as daily driver
most of samsung technical engineers use galaxy as daily driver
most of sony technical engineers use iphone as daily driver (because most Japaneses love iphone)

I have too an XZP, nice phone! Lol
Not rea... moreI can ask you the same - did you try it to say that is comfortable? Look the video review how it wobbles on the desk! Fact!
Incredible EIS doesn't work in lowlight conditions. You make 90% daylight? What light is a restaurant? A bar? An apartment? Office? Are they daylight? You're joking me.
Nope. You can't say the same. Most of the comments are negative about the design and the phone as a whole.
Average thickness? Dude, this is new level of measurement! Congratulations!
You're too biased. No point to write anymore.
Cheers!

Not really, I'm just a smartphone enthusiast, and I'm very interested in phones, nothing more. BTW that's part of the problem, people forget and say this brand copy that brand but that's not the case really. Did you try this phone before saying it's uncomfortable?
OIS on Sony phones can greatly improve only low light shots? you have an XZP and you don't know/notice the incredible EIS that it has when recording? I don't knowwhere you're living but my pictures are for at least 90% taken in daylight...
Not again, these are just the facts as I know the S9 is 8.5 mm thick, some specs of the past SOC etc. I could say the same, some like, some don't...
Not really, the XZ1 is 7.4 mm thick, so the XZ2 is at some points thinner and thicker at others. It'll be better to have the average thickness, that would be helpful, and after we'll be able to talk about numbers...
This discussion seems to go anywhere, so have a good day!

The difference tho is sony will be better built. My u11 feels cheap when u scrutinized it, but 99.9% of the time its covered by spigen case so not much if a big deal.

This phone is superb to excellent in all areas, except the lack of headphone jack, yes... the only Sonys flaw here.

This design combination is seeing only by SONY workers No one else. And even so - is ugly and uncomfortable.
OIS can definitely improve lowlight photos and video, cause now they are completely out of competition. Most of pictures are taken by lowlight conditions.
Thickness between 6 AND 11mm? Definitely SONY worker! Only one biased person will mention that. It is fat and blind looking phone. This is not just my opinion - look other comments and not just here. The whole network is telling the same.
Bigger battery you say. And how bigger is the phone? IT IS 50% thicker than XZ1. Why then the battery is not 50% bigger???

The missing jack is bad I agree.
And most Chinese OEM with their OIS can't keep up with Sony EIS. Low light shots are certainly improved by quite a sensible margin!
Nope, thickness is between 6 AND 11 mm...
And the battery is bigger by 20% than the one on the XZ1 for comparison.

Design is subjective.
Which features/specifications are missing on this ... moreThat details that you try to minimize are important when we are talking of spend 800 euros.
At that price, more expensive that the previous version, is not acceptable the downgrade of the selfie camera with one with lower resolution and without autofocus.
The lack of quick charger and an a adapter not supporting quick charging should not be market/retailer dependant.
The slippery is not only due to the glass instead of the shape, watch this gift: https://gifs.com/gif/YvxnPO
making it difficult to use and tap on the table and sure that more than one is going to push it accidentally to the floor.
The main camera is the same only with improvements in software but still lacking of OIS, not justifying the price increase.
The display resolution is a downgrade.
The fingerprint is in an awkward position, too low and less comfortable than before on the side.
The remove of the audio jack is lose a feature and a deal break for a lot of potential customers.
In resume, you are paying more for less and the latest SoC is what you expect in a new flagship phone. And i doubt that the new vibration is enough to justify it. Less value for customers and more profit for Sony. Smells like they are manufacturing a cheaper phone but more expensive to maximize the profit if the sales aren't as good as expected like with the previous models as we saw in the results of the Sony Mobile division. Something that reminds a lot of Apple in the latest economic results.

Vic, 15 Mar 2018Looking at the comments right after the article and 1 day after it definitely feels like that ... moreI'm writing from a Sony Xperia z ( I have it since 5 years) a friend of mine has Samsung s5 wich came around 1 year after my z. There is littery no words to describe how my Xperia z looks and works after 5 years compare to his s5. Sony means quality, outstanding performance and quality. Sony xz2 is in my opinion a true flagship ( u have to get ur hands on it first to understand) it looks great and it's sick fast and I'm sure it has the same if not better build quality then my z. Sony unlike other companies do not slow down their phones just so u know. The xz2 compact looks a bit to fat but I need to get my hands on one first before judging.

Looking at the comments right after the article and 1 day after it definitely feels like that looking at so many negative feedbacks Sony decided to ask people to provide positive comments (the same way HTC did after U Ultra). Biased positive feedbacks can be easily differentiated from real opinions because they look more like advertising what's on specs rather than real overall opinion on product. But one thing is for sure: Sony really needs to cancel XZ2 and XZ2 Compact and start from scratch. This way they will save their reputation and won't lose fans who still believe that one day company will make a really good product rather the junk they introduced at MWC 2018.

Design is subjective.

Design is blind copy of HTC U11 - looking from the back they are barely distinguishable.
Wobble on any flat service. Try to use it on your desk.
Lacking 3.5mm headphone jack.
Lacking autofocus on ff camera.
Lack of OIS, when in these days almost every Chinese OEM include it. Low light photos are improved just a bit. Not much. And low light photos are far from competition.
And in 11.1mm thickness they include only 3200mAh battery.

Design is subjective.
Which features/specifications are missing on this phone (apart from the jack)?
The slippery design is the same for all glass phones, and the thickness is not the same everywhere, at the thickest it's 11,1 mm and at the thinnest it's 6 mm.
The selfie camera is said to be good, it just lacks autofocus.
The lower display resolution is clearly enough for all usage except VR.
The fast charger is market/retailer dependent.
The lack of OIS is only noticeable when shooting in low light (which seems to have been improved), in every other scenario EIS (on these phones) is as good as the others.

Lets say that the camera is ok in daylight photos. In low light is still not on par with Samsung and iPhone. At least.
Lets say that bezels are ok. Actually, I don't care about the bezels.
Lets say that performance is good.
Lets say that the screen is ok, despite the fact that I prefer OLED displays - better black, low power consumptions etc. Yes, they burn, but after 2 years and I change my phones more often.
BUT!
That thickness... 11.1mm? Are you crazy?
FPS on the back is much more uncomfortable comparing to side mounted. I'm not living in US and do not care about their legislation. US is small part of global market.
Removing the 3.5mm jack? Really? SONY boys. The same that invented the Walkman? Seriously? Following the trend??? Do you know how much you own on that 3.5mm jack?
And the last thing - how, in that fat phone, you fit only 3200mAh battery??? In the most thickest phone in last years, you put a battery smaller than S9, which by the way is 8.5mm thick.
