Sony Xperia XZ - user opinions and reviews

Despite the huge top and bottom bezel, XZ sure looks stunning, I also like how Sony went with Metal back panel this year, which simply makes the phone all the more durable and that's all folks!. XZ doesn't have anything else to tout about maybe other than that side mounted awesome fingerprint sensor.
23mp camera- Sure XZ comes with more features than X performance's camera and may perform slightly better, but then again S7's 12mp went toe-to-toe with X performance and even went ahead in some lighting conditions. So I don't expect much from XZ either.
1080p Screen - Some may say 1080p is better than a 1440p screen as it saves battery, but then again this may not be the ideal phone to use it as a VR device due to lower pixel density. Also they use IPS screen, which is fine by all means but I'd prefer AMOLED over IPS if they would keep such low capacity battery.
Sony's Superior Optimization- Some may say 2900mAh battery is fine as Sony optimization is the best in the industry, but that is not the case, X performance's Endurance rating is pretty low (and that too on a 1080p screen) when compared to 70hr Endurance rating of S7 non-edge ( Snapdragon) and 60hr Endurance of LG G5 and also by today's standard.
Although I'd must say Sony phones feels less laggy compared to Samsung S7. Which is due to their better optimization, but Sony's superior software optimization has little impact on battery life for some reason.
Heavy and Thick - While I do prefer my phones to be around 7.5mm-8mm in thickness and slightly on the heavier side, but I also expect them to come with better battery at that thickness, which Sony phones never have at least not since the Z3.
3GB RAM - 3GB RAM is perfectly fine and should not create any problem up to medium multi-tasking, but who's to say 3GB RAM will still be enough after 2 years from now .
Pricing- Its normal for companies to command a price premium if their product is superior and more so if its a japanese company (lol), but at the same time if a consumer is paying heavy amount, they'd also want the best in business, which unfortunately Sony isn't anymore.

Anonymous, 04 Sep 2016*cough* Xperia Z5 Premium *cough*.Z5P only run at 1080p. Its not good for VR. Just like if you have FHD phone and you play 360p video on it, will you expect a good visual? Its not only about the screen, its also about the contents.
PS VR also has 1080p screen. We cant expect a great experience. Oh btw PS is only for kids. Their parents bought them PS so as to they stay home. People prefer something productive than playing games.

[deleted post]optimize? lol..
sony never do optimizations at all. they just use the vanilla (or original) android and add very little design modifications into it.
motorola also do the same.

AnonD-578950, 04 Sep 2016Wow, Sony launching a flagship. Awesome specs.
3gb ram.
>20mp camera with 4k recording
... moreYou just look at specs? Lol.
The display may look same as Z2 in paper, but the display in XZ is improved overall.
Camera again, much much improved. Comparing Z2 to XZ, XZ has new sensor + new cameraAPI2 software + color spectrum sensor + laser autofocus + a lot more.
Faster processor
And theres a whole lot more. Telling XZ hasn't improved from the Z2 is quite foolish.

bony is bony. terrible x series. even they start to reduce the quality of the compact series.
overprice, average design, nothing special, unatractive. even huawei can make better-looking phones.

Anonymous, 04 Sep 2016*cough* Xperia Z5 Premium *cough*.z5 premium was good.
but why they remove 4k in x series?
that's why i always say "sony need to employ better managers/engineers who have better vision to the future tech".

Of course I'm talking about the revolutionary z2, launched more than 2 years ago. Sony was ahead of the game. Now look at this shameful company . No change to above
