The camera quality is much more improved and the color is natural not like Samsung "painted effects", why should you still complaining? Your complain is more than your experience, I see.

Sony has everything right, almost everything. They just need to improve camera quality more, add OIS, speed up camera launch, and 4GB of RAM (but that's already coming in the next Xperia, let's hope S7 doesn't have 6GB of RAM). XZ's display is beautiful, really beautiful, an AMOLED is unnecessary when you have that, its battery life is closer to the Z3. Essentially I think its the first proper flagship Sony has made since the Z3 and they will be back on track to making great flagships again in Q1 2017, especially with that 5.5" 4K Xperia coming up, I'm gonna buy it on the day of release. I'm a Sony user and fan and I want to see Sony succeed again, therefore its important to give criticisms so that they can improve things more and attract more customers.

You ask Sony should price XZ phone under $550 to remain competitive is Outrageouss, but the China OEM will cry because they can't make cheaper anymore, while the Samsung will smile because they defeat a premium competitor.

If you mean within this year, then obvoiusly it will be a terrible decision as they will not be able to manufacture enough chips and meet the demand. If by 2017, then its ok but they will not profit more than they lost because the smarpthone market is already saturated. Most people have a high end smartphone that is under 3 years old and they are not looking to upgrade soon.

                    Should Samsung release S8 in 2015, so they can earn much more money to cover it Note 7 losing?

Even Tech Trinket's test showed the RAM management is better on the S7 while having 1 extra gig of RAM. Its already been leaked that their 2017 CES phone will be a midranger with only 3GB of RAM, that's fine, however, they should price that phone under $550 to remain competitive but also Sony usually releases their better phones around September IFA. They need to make sure their next phone comes with more or same amount of RAM as Samsung flagships and better camera and software optimization and even better design than the XZ and Galaxy S8. Sony should have released a phone like the Xperia XZ back in 2015, then they would be selling a lot more phones by now and would be much more profitable today.

The VR is feature is still just beginning, example like the Pokemon just started, they must be lack of something functions.

                                    and why do you need stereo speakers for that? haaaaahaaaaaaa actually you only need to plug your earphone dude.

                                      most underrated smartphone line in the world.

                                      i'm sure Apple and samsung are afraid of Sony thats why they pai mainstream review sites to talk shit about sony even though they make the advanced smartphones in the world.

                                      im sure samsung and apple will copy Sony.
