Sony Xperia XZ preview: First look

12 September 2016
One way or another, the Xperia Z-series lives on after all. The Xperia Z5 was the last of the old lineage, but tradition (and likely marketing) dictates that the ultimate Sony smartphone must have a Z in its name.

What's with the guys who cannot write a phone review without using the word "flagship"?
Still better than most of the rest. Be inventive.

              meh, 17 Sep 2016i know you will showup to clarify it, heatpipes. i'll wait... moreI only trust the Dxomark.

              Forums always flooding by the competitors / ghostwriters / trolls / fake Xperia user opinion send from the competitors to misleading people. That's why I only trust Dxomark, the official tester.

              "DxOMark is the trusted industry standard for camera and lens image quality measurements and ratings. For years weÂÂÂÂÂ’ve been recognized for providing the most rigorous hardware testing, using industry-grade laboratory tools in our analysis, and for establishing the most comprehensive reference database using our thousands of camera and lens test results."

                I'm always interested in Sony flagships but there let downs. I've read the camera is not impressive and the big let down is the battery. It's the longest phone to be fully charged and with average length only.

                          Will this xz have loud earphone volume and high quality speakers or as all previous x except xa ultra?

                            The "loop surface" is the back the front and the side of the XZ is Alkaliedo, a refining aluminum alloy, it is stronger than aluminum alloy because the refining. The spokenman from Sony Japanese said in the interview in Taiwan.

                                Sony Flaship Beast of cell.

                                  Tann Hauser, 16 Sep 2016Good stuff! XZ rulesYes. And another thing is how great the focusing on the XZ is. By looking at the video, when both phones launched their camera app, the XZ automatically focused on the flower while the S7 Edge mispointed its focus, and the user had to tap to focus on the screen just to make it focus on the subject. So when you quickly take a shot, you will most likely get a better shot with the XZ than the S7 Edge

                                    AnonD-530731, 19 Sep 2016> Mr. Troll the phones you are mentioning are phablets m... moreCompare it with the Note 7. Note 7 does have smaller bezels. But the XZ's aren't too bad. At least those bezels pack in some great stuff, unlike Apple which is just part of its design for all over the years. Those bezels inside have 1/2.3" sensor size, both rear and front, as well as dual front-facing stereo speakers, both of which the Note 7 lacks. Plus, the fingerprint scanner is at the side, which is much more comfortable than the ones on the Note 7. Bezels serve their own purpose. And if you dream to have a bezel-free screen, then phones aren't for you.

                                      > Mr. Troll the phones you are mentioning are phablets much bigger than 5.2'' ...

                                      Hello, Mr.Fanboy )
                                      Side bezels have no correlation to the screen size. However, since you've mentioned it, would you please consider a Galaxy Note 7: it's a phablet, yes, but it's somehow only 2mm wider than a "regularly"-sized Xperia XZ! Now think of S8...

                                      XZ is a pleasingly looking phone, i must say, and it just could be more comfortable in 2016.

                                        sammy will release s8 faster because of that boom boom thing.
