      AnonD-52738, 03 Aug 2016Now nearly every country only following brand stay strong, ... moreYeah well said. I still don't know WTF Bony was thinking when they put a mid-range chip in their flagship phone and slap a flagship price on it, or why their top tier model only has 3GB even though most flagships at the time had 4, which imo is the sweet spot for current Android devices and will remain so for at least the next 2-3 years. Don't be surprised if you see a cheap Chinese company release a 8GB phone before then lol then all the little kids on this site will demand 8GB to be included in all future phones.

        AnonD-463876, 02 Aug 2016Ahh yes anecdotal evidence is the best evidence, what about... moreNow nearly every country only following brand stay strong, if Sony is as great as you though, why Sony is dying and the sales is pretty bad.

        Majority now using
        - Apple (the only option for iOS fans)
        - Samsung (no deny it still lead in Android market)
        - Huawei (for Asian market only)
        - Xiaomi (for Asian market only)
        - Asus (not sure on future even though Asus already change to Snapdragon but it previous Intel model suck in battery)

        Only few model is selling ok
        - LG G4, V10 (G5 is not selling as great as G4)
        - HTC 10 (yes only 10, at least HTC finally wake up)

        Where is Sony, Sony is half dead when out Sony Xperia Z5 and now is like totally nobody care (except loyal fans) on Xperia X series. People though X series will be replace Z series but based on Sony strategy selling middle range phone in high end price, it only even worst than success.

But how great S650 once fight with S820 on 3D gaming, no way S650 can perform the 3D gaming as great as S820.

            AnonD-122669, 03 Aug 2016X performs as good as if not better than HTC 10.Really?

            S650 can win S820? Hahaha! S650 is a good chipset but it still under Middle Range chipset and no way can win S820 performance especially on gaming part.

              Hahaha! I know S650 ain't bad but it is no way to fight with S820.

              Also Sony Xperia X is using middle range processor S650 but selling as high end price, this is ridiculous and only fanboys will buy it.

              Xperia X Performance is too rare and most country not selling it include the place I stay, no point talking this X Performance and I believe X Performance will be insanity price even selling, that insanity price already can get far better functionality and performance Note7 now which available worldwide on 19/Aug/2016.

                  This illiteracy about smartphone's functioning really is disappointing.

Xperia X is way better than HTC 10 which is so weak, slow, and with unperfected UI. Check Youtube to see it yourself. Not to mention the Xperia X Performance which is superb in all aspects, give it a chance and check it lol. In one month, Sony would release the Xperia XR which is absolute innovation with duel Sony flash and laser. Stop your nonsense. TC!

                              My recent used phone include many brands from Huawei P9 Plus, Mi Max, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

                              iPhone I never comment as it is not something I prefer. My last Sony is Xperia Z Ultra as none of Sony impress me, the camera always lousy post processing and now even worse using middle range spec selling high end price.

You can say what you want it is still the fact, sony makes great phones, only a little to expensive

                                        I am sure people like avan etc didnt used Sony and just bashing about them. Why??? Why waste your time dont you have any work in Samsung forum or your hate for Sony is more than your love for Samsung or other brand.
                                        Note: Samsung,iphone,LG are good so is Sony. Nothing is perfect in this world so same with smartphone.
