Sony Xperia XZ2 - user opinions and reviews

Trying to replace my old XZ with a new model. My main concerns with a phone camera are:
1. poor low light performance (front & rear cameras)
2. dreaded purple or orange tinge in low light or extreme sunny conditions
3. over and underexposure
4. unresolved details especially around the corners
5. lots of noise when zooming in (under any conditions)
6. No OIS or (the very least) EIS in both the front & rear camera. (I'm doing more 1080p videos @30 or 60fps than 4K)
7. Audio recording sounds as if the people talking have a blocked nose (mono).
8. Unnatural bland or over-contrasty colours (in Auto Mode)
9. Poorly optimised portrait shots (background blur looks artificial)
10. Jumpy or overactive autofocus.
So, Does this sounds the XZ2 can easily handle? Or go for something like the Xperia S8 (or S9)?

Played with the XZ2 yesterday Awesome phone ! Excellent display, very comfortable to hold, no problem with the weight. Took great pictures and video, luv the audio. Thinking of upgrading my old Xperia Z3 (still runs smoothly after 4 years). Not interested in the XZ3's P-OLED display as they decay where as the time tested Sony IPS LCD display lasts forever. Just going to wait till about March 2019 for the price to drop. Right now I can get one unlocked for $600 Canadian...

I've heard the XZ2 family is receiving the Pie update but along with it comes "missing" features:
NO gestures - just nav buttons
NO selfie portrait mode
NO Google lens integration in camera (I could be wrong)
Lack of themes compared to Samsung's
Are these true?
Will Samsung's alleged Experience UI 10.0 (based off 9 Pie) be a better implementation u think?

Pie generally sucks. The status bar, quick settings, recent apps and navigation buttons are bad on my pixel 3. Luckily Sony sticks with the 3 buttons and old recent apps layout. Battery seems to improve drastically. Camera is so so so much better now. Bluetooth seems to dismiss my received files notification when I turn Bluetooth off. Cant say if that's intended or bug. No issues with sony, just Google's 9.0 is just full of flaws.

@GSMArena The video section of a phone should mention if the device can record HDR videos or not. The Display can support HDR, the camera can take HDR photos and record HDR videos. Support for all three should be specified in all phones. Most of the time the camera can take HDR photos, the screen might be able to display HDR, but for the camera to record HDR videos is a totally different capability.

I think Sony absolutely nailed it with the XZ2. They finally gave people what they want - good battery life with wireless charging, plus the usual excellent camera and sound quality. I can't being myself to buy one because I just know I will smash it within a week.

guy, 24 Aug 2018The camera info is incorrect. It states that it records 960fps at 720p. Those ratings are for ... moreTrue, though when records at 1080P it's only half of the time of 720P.
