    AnonD-416078, 17 Jan 2017Yeah, S7 & S7 Edge is just another chinese phone.Wow, check out hard cop and soft cop here. Listen sony, you may be the a'ple Pr teams first( Maybe only.) try at backstabbing Samsung without mentioning the note 7 this year, but mentioning Samsung edge phones is digging into concrete. If saying they are not premium, when they made an iphoney look as obscellescent as a Sony brick, then the word premium cannot rightfully be used in the description of a smart phone from here on in. Ha ha s7 edge not premium, you guys , shut the door behind you an, don't forget to sit down, so you obtain no further head impacts. Geee.What ?

      AnonD-265341, 17 Jan 2017IMo they never been a premium brand.What's your definition of a Premium Brand? A product made of high quality materials or anything else?

              Samsung is an overrated OEM, and Sony might be the next Nokia (dead).

                    Tourettes Guy, 15 Jan 2017And you care too much, which means it's bothering you a lot... moreAnd that "no headphone jack" phone and "exploding batteries" phone outsold your so called high quality, advanced tech Sony Flagship. Live with it. Your fanboyism amazes me. I too admire Sony's Audio equipment and its PS4 but not its mobile division. Sony will sure be following HTC's path as far as smartphones are concerned. Dwindling profits and sales. Agreed XZ is better than only Sony's previous flagships, that's it.

                      Tourettes Guy, 15 Jan 2017Do I even have to click those links? The title says it all.... morehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvFHfVPI2nA
                      Check this link for camera review. TechRadar is one of the better sites for reviews. They clearly say S7, Pixel and iPhone 7 are better than XZ. You are proclaiming that Sony has THE best quality, then why that is not reflecting in sales? Everybody wants a high quality phone for the amount they are shelling out for flagships, so by your logic your so called high quality phone should shine through sales also and have big market share right? Every company wants profits, they can't say only those who admire Sony quality should only purchase Sony Xperias.

                          Tourettes Guy, 15 Jan 2017It's their marketing strategy, how many times do I have to ... moreWhat is the proof that Sony leads in quality category? Which credible source you have to prove that Sony's have better quality than S7/7E or iPhone 7's? If it sure leads then sales will also reflect that. Right? But it is not the case in truth. This year you are saying Z6 will outsell S8/Note8/iPhone 7s/8, but in the end that doesn't happen for sure and as usual Samsung and Apple's flagships sell in bucket loads, after that you again renew your dreams for next year and say Z7 will again outsell Samsung's/Apple's flagships.......and history repeats itself as your dream of Sony's flagships dominating sales chart renews for one more year. Regarding your comparison of Audi and Toyota, if they both are priced equally, then Audi will sell more because of better quality right? So your so called high quality phone from Sony(Audi) is not outselling Samsung(Toyota) in reality. Why? Both have same price in my country at least. Don't repeat your marketing answer. If quality is real, then it itself enough for commercial success. Case in point, OnePlus 3.

When it rains, it truly pours. Hopefully none of this impedes their ability to deliver a superior addition to the S and Note range of smartphones!

I just clicked the source Link of their article which you quoted and showed it to you and a humble request decide what you want to support. On one hand you call gsma reliable and on other hand you give YouTube Links stating otherwise. BTW enjoy your favorite phone they won't be for long while I'm happy on my ps4

And you expect me to believe you. I gave you the source of the link you were bragging about which pretty much says that Sony is nowhere in usage chart. The Data was twisted here just to incite people. Also it's their strategy is lamest thing I've heard which company has a strategy to basically start its own downfall by saying our products mean class. Also Sony won't be anywhere near Samsung in next 3 years let alone a year. I love Sony for it's TV's cameras and ps4 but face the truth that with current strategy they'll become next blackberry

                                  Tourettes Guy, 15 Jan 2017It's their marketing strategy, how many times do I have to ... moreSony speakers is good isnt it. I like their walkman in the past. Very nice. I would buy a standalone speaker instead of relying on phone speaker. I think its more practical. If Harman is so good they simply need to make a mini bluetooth speaker and sell it under samsung contract. This speaker could be use with any smartphone if we plan go change to other brand or something keeping our audio quality the same for true enjoyment.

                                    Anonymous, 15 Jan 2017Just for you https://data.apteligent.com/research/mobile-... moreWth you gave me a link with literally no content to show. You seriously thought I was going to believe it lol.
                                    1. It's the phone's capability that you're paying for. You can buy an S7 w/ free VR and Fiio X1 and the quality won't be as good as the XZ, at least in terms of audio.
                                    2. I'll wake you when Sony starts marketing their phones as much as Samsung and Apple does.
                                    3. Another typical comeback from a clueless person. GSMArena won't be bothered reporting it if it wasn't reliable, the same thing people are trusting YouTube phone reviews
