            What on earth do you mean by "finally checks the 4K box"? 4K has been available on every flagship Sony smartphone right the way back to mid-2014, for goodness sakes! My Xperia Z2 (April 2014) has 4K video capture support, for example.

The XZ's IPS LCD is doing a better job with triluminous, agree they are a harassment if we go 4K with it. But for a smartphone FHD is gonna do a sweet job with a person lacking nothing in originality, natural and vivid color. AMOLED do go very well in blacking out the screen but what about whitening the screen? And it's sometime an awe when I hear people blaming about Sony choosing a FHD display for their 5.2" screen and praising Apple for the same! And when you think of VR, Sony has a different type of world for you for that. Check Sony's VR headset.
                  And yup, I agree Sony's service center ruined it all. Sony sacrificed a lot of loyal customers because of them. This also truly shows Sony is not doing the business in a proper way. But saying Sony's phone are not good, Sony don't have a best display etc., are just not acceptable.

                                    Nobody asked anyone to buy Xperia XZ.. Still many of you are screaming we are not buying it.. Lol.. Gsmarena only asked if you are buying it, they are not forcing you to buy it...

                                    . The haters surely have to control themselves.. Don't reveal your true nature guys...

                                      Recent Sony phones have all been pretty disappointing... I don't think this phone will be a success either.
