Camera hardware looks great, hopefuly the software processing is just as good because that's always been behind other flagships.
Too bad only Asia gets the white version.
I don't think it has alluminum frames.
I remeber to see an article with the slides used for a little press in Taiwan to present XZ3 to local media.
There was mention of frames made by something they said 200% stronger than Alluminum 6000 series.
[deleted post]this phone is the only phone which meets my criteria
already bought 6 flagships in a row with buyer remorse. now holding brand new pathetic oneplus 7t in hand, can't do QC, Qi, no jack, no SD, no notification lights, no AOD, notch, hard to do gestures even on flat screen (no bezels).. but Xperia solves these problems!

cheevhe, 29 Feb 2020What reality you are talking about? LOL. Wake up fanboy, this ain't 2012 anymore. They're not ... moreI feel insecurity and unrational fear in your response.
Chill fella.
Enjoy all the mobile tech innovations Sony brought here, even that jack it brought back, and do not hate...
Joban, 29 Feb 2020...this is best phone ever...no need of more ram and unusual 100mp camera..tell me why this is... moreFeels like 2year old phone. It got even bezels. Quad bayer hi res sensor is obvious future which is here also 2 years already. You got to wait to almost summer for it, I feel like next gen will pop up until then at 1/3 price. Not bad phone, but overpriced, well its not the only brand to do so, mayb3 they feel like its premium enough, feels too conservative through. Something like Vivo apex 2020 is, at least, what I expect 2020 phone to be like.
Tann Hauser, 29 Feb 2020In some people heads they might be not, but in reality, and in innovations, they certainly are... moreWhat reality you are talking about? LOL. Wake up fanboy, this ain't 2012 anymore. They're not even #1 in their own homeland, not even #2.
Are you talking about the present innovation or the past? Please tell us what's the newest innovation they bring to this phone besides 21:9 ratio and not so useful 4K display?
And talking about Sony's camera. They are always great on paper but also always fail to fulfill the expectations.
Flgshp2020, 29 Feb 2020Lol it won't get past Oppo or Xiaomi, forget getting past Samsung. No wonder they are losing ... moreThe phpne has some great offerings but unfortunately they will wait 5 to 6 months to release it and only advertise it on their own website. The reason why samsung and hauwai do so well is they got into most providers and flashed their name in every sporting event possible. I go to NHL games and half of the boards are taken up by adverts from them

Anonymous, 29 Feb 2020Not even close, S20 ultra already is better than this while Huawei p40 pro will destroy this. I think the gsmarena review of the s20 ultra begs to differ . Its gimmicky
Tann Hauser, 29 Feb 2020Bragging rights is this cam setup has all the bells and whistles of a Sonys DSLR like alpha ma... moreNot even close, S20 ultra already is better than this while Huawei p40 pro will destroy this.
hamtarox, 29 Feb 2020who make the sensor? huawei? sony?So what sensur is made by Sony?
Doesnt change the fact that the Ultrawide on the Huawei is bigger than the Ultrawide on Sony and also bigger than Main sensor on Xperia 1 II
Last year it would be great, now its just like non ultra version of flagship. Its great but not awesome. Still time before release, maybe will something change.
It's looking to be a great device! Return of the headphone jack (DSEE ultimate upsaling of mp3 to near lossless audio), front facing stereo, no notch/ cut-out. But most importantly the camera has largely improved, I believe same sensor size as S20U 9 in 1 binning for 108MP (at this point a gimmick). Zeiss branding, best autofocus in the market & alpha technology. Loving it so far! Plus the 4K HDR BT2020 coverage, no words suffice- as no other manufacturer offers that.
Shanti Dope, 29 Feb 2020Sales are just numbers. In overall assessment, this phone is ahead of the Galaxy S20+ for the... moreit is part of a defensive mechanism, of people who really want to have a hands on an xperia... but not all xperia users are proud about xperia, midrange users who thought it is a flagship has some bitterness... but not everyone... there are some who still love xperia despite having just a midrange... i dont usually upgrade, heck stucked at z5 premium... but i have no more reasons not to upgrade aside from all my xperias are still working (except that miro lags, z1 compact has reduced battery power)... there are some rooms for improvement, yes, like any other brands do... and it seems that every xperia flagship caters to different person, for instance xperia 1 and xperia 1 II has differences that makes you choose only 1 depending on what you prefer... like xperia 1 has superslomo, 1 II does not... xperia 1 II has audio jack, 1 has none... so in my case i prefer xperia 1... but if i can have an access of xperia xz2 premium or xz premium, i am still ok with it...
Flgshp2020, 29 Feb 2020Why ditch the dram? Sony won't be able to do 960fps @1080p. No more bragging rights. While t... mores20 can only do 720p slowmo for some reason which leads me to believe that they don't have dram either but are instead utilizing cpu for it. We shall see
Very long smartphone like sharpening stone..
Goddamn that form factor. So sleek and thin. Can't believe it is only 0.2mm thicker than my Xperia XZ1 too. Definitely a upgrade from XZ1, front dual speaker is back with jack too. Fingerprint scanner on the side is really fast and nice to use on XZ1 so expect this one will too
