in automode at lowlight my camera now recognizes the stability provided, so even automode now shoots at 1s shutter and 200 ISO it you hold it steady...
For ocassional handheld use it shoots at 1/16 s and about 1000/1250 ISO, or 1/8 at some 600/800 ISO....
At dusk it now acts as in daylight, shooting at some 1/100 s shutter, and really catches the scenario as it is, not overblowing brights....
Indeed, lowlight shots come out superb even in automode with this new autosettings...
No need for me to go manual on most lowlight ocassions.
Now it just reacts much better in auto, reognizing the shake and adapting shutter much faster.
Very satisfied with new Oreo camera improvements. :-)

I have used the Xperia Z1 since early 2014, I have not had any major issues. I love the fact the glass is shatter proof. Please can I be recommended a good upgrade.
Tann Hauser, 07 Dec 2017Dont worry about that. According to my 4.5 yr old Z1c, any app or game can be installed and ... moreTrue, thanks to the updates the performance improved a lot if u compare it with the version it came out of the box, I would say the performance is on par with even the new XPERIA XA1 and other MEDIATEK P23 chipset smartphones, even though it have been 4 years for my XPERIA Z1
xperia xperia, 07 Dec 2017hi,is this phone worth the money or i wait xperia 2018?I would say it's worth it. But you never know what 2018 brings. If you really want a phone right now, I strongly recommend this!. If you have a decent phone and have no real need for upgrade. Then wait and see what Sony does next year. I'm pretty sure they will do something crazy.

The xz camera is not as good and the build is cheap compared to the xz1. My friend have the xz and some times I compare it with mine and there is no way in hell you can say its a minor update. The xz1 is a refined xz with perfect performance. So please go to the xz page and complain about that mistake of a phone.
Sony made a mistake releasing so many phones in a short window. That's why many people are sceptic about getting the latest.
I would recommend xz1 to anyone. Would not recommend xz. Why?.
Xz1 pros over xz.
HDR screen! It's much nicer, colors are popping!
Much better speaker sound, I've compared with my friends xz.
Just overall snappier!
Camera is better not by a lot but still better.
bettey holds longer. I get 2days easy but im not a heavy user.
The overall build. It's metal! Feels like it would brake the floor if you drop it and the screen can take some beating without getting scratches. Xz is just some high quality plastic that feels cheap and the screen get scratches more easily.
This is my opinion tho, but I've owned almost every 2017 flagship and I like this the best :).
This is fact from a daily user of Xz1 ;) just saying.
Anonymous, 07 Dec 2017Do you have the xz1.no the XZ
and the XZ1 is just a minor upgrade over it that is not worth buying due to the insignificant differences and the high price.

I'm not that tech savvy that I need the latest and greatest, but I do need a new phone within six months or so. I rather not do an even more "stupid" decision - if you see what I mean 😏 I'll think I go with your suggestion and get an older flagship instead of a midranger.

According to my 4.5 yr old Z1c, any app or game can be installed and works flawlessly still, except some newly released high end graphic games (and not all), as now old SD 800 doesnt support newest OpenGL builds for 3d graphics...
But, some of those newest games work too on good ol' Z1c, even if plystore says "not compatible", if you install via some "non playstore .apk " ;-)

Id suggest a 2016 flag instead of a 2018 midranger, much more software updates and eventual software fixes on those...
For ex, I got now about 1.5 year old model X Performance, from Marsh to Nougat, to Oreo a week ago, and am certain I ll get some more firmware updates over at least half a year more...
For about the same price you can get that, or some newly released midranger, that will eventually get an update to a new post Oreo android build.
X Perf probably wont....but an old flag still has better SoC, build, feats and software optimisation overall, for about the same price (300 bucos now).
If you decide new midranger, be sure its some higher level midranger, not lower mid...
For ex higher mid Xperia X gets more frequent updates, while lower mid XA doesnt so much...
