Viewing experience. The 2K Amoled screen is draining more battery compare to 1080FHD screen. The S7missing stereo speaker so the VR experience is not pleasure enough.

Or they have the right to overpriced their products just because it Samsung and apple and Sony doesn't have?? Let see the price first and then called them overpriced since according to me the xz beat s7 in all aspects.(battery, speed) or what else do you need in a smartphone??

          they must tell it to their customers l, promote it, so all customers become aware of that features, then buy it.
          that is one of the biggest mistake. cr@p promotion. and sony always repeat that mistake over and over again.

            and 2k amoled is not gimmick.
            and the premium looking (no plastic frame) also not a gimmick.
            good advertisement also part of good marketic tactic, it's not a gimmick.

              Asterkikasd, 05 Nov 2016I am a Z3 owner and will be buying the XZ soon but being a ... moreThere are 3 points here you have to know.
              First, I don't want to know you said you will buy the Xperia XZ and said it is overprice and camera is under performance can't competitive with Samsung and iPhone. This will making me deeply don't believe your nonsense.
              Second, the Xperia XZ is not overprice compare to Samsung latest flagships and iPhone 7/7Plus, it is more cheaper than them, the iPhone 7 even use a 2 GB ram and lower screen resolution (why don't you complain it). Sony have their invent in sound, camera, connection, water-resistant. But, Samsung is trying harder and investing more in trolling. When the DxOmark show the Xperia Z5 is best camera of that time, the competitors keep trolling. How is the Xperia XZ camera on DxOmark test, we should wait for the result, you can not just imaging the Samsung is better and invent harder and investing more money than Sony, unless you have bias to Xperia XZ.
              Third, a great smartphones must also invent harder and investing more money on other fields, such sound, display, durable, connectivity.... and the most important a safety battery. Once Samsung Note 7 become a loser on the battery, it show the battery is the most important field/part to a device. A good battery it won't degrade after years and it won't hurt you like a flaming lighter or unexpected grenade.

              I agree Sony have to make everything better and they did. We can see, we are not blind.

                I love Qnovo, 03 Nov 2016I don't talk to a fake Sony fans like you, it make me feel ... moreI am a Z3 owner and will be buying the XZ soon but being a Sony fanboy doesn't mean you have to cover up every mistake they make. No one is perfect and neither is Sony, even though Sony makes lots of excellent products. The A7R2 is the best handheld camera in the world and destroys the Samsung NX1 but how come that's not the case with smartphones? Why is the S7's camera better? Definitely Samsung is trying harder and investing more into smartphones than Sony is. My point is, Sony is not trying hard enough, it needs to try much harder and invest a lot more money into beating Samsung. They also need to price better. Akio Morita, the founder of Sony said "Not only will we target making the best products on the market but we will also make it cost competitive." This means Sony is violating its own principles of making cost competitive products that are better than the competition.

                  Anonymous, 05 Nov 2016you tried so hard to convince people to use sony flagships.... moreThe X series already use a faster storage what you call emmc. So you not need to trolling XZ, and the slower emmc is Z2 weak point (consider it is a 2 and half years smartphone, I will forgive it and I seldom use the reader and it is fine to me).

                  All competitors have their features, if you love that, choose it and enjoy it. I love Qnovo so this is the basic and very important features for a smartphone, the competitors bring the other features and gimmicks, which is not that practical than have a best battery caring system. If I want to play real VR seriously, the battery must be safe and won't explode or catching fire, don't want any S-pen on it, don't want curve edge, don't want cheaper mono speaker. Fingerprint embedded in screen is great (side fingerprint also very cool and it is the place at the power button which is very convenience to unlock and awaken /standby the phone . Btw, I only don't like back fingerprint button) but the basic is the quality should not like the Note7, do you understand me? Safety is the basic you can't lost it, you can imaging when the user playing VR and suddenly catching real fire, it is so bad!

                    fyi.. they love getting many replies.

I always put my Z2 on tablet, I can unlock by pressing the side power button or double tab. The Huawei back button is really incontinence.

                          AnonD-312515, 05 Nov 2016It's uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time. design is objective. Another one might like it, another not. For example I love the raised edges on my Z5 and I don't like the roundness of xz. It's just what I like, not a better or worse. But Z5 is better due to the raised edges protecting the glass panels.

                            [deleted post]you know it's alright to be against a brand, but it's never alright to be a bad fanboy. You fill the page with stupid comments that only go against others opinions. You have no valid statements, no valid opinions, just empty answers to get on the nerves of Sony fans.
                            Seriously get a life

Note 7 is ancient history in this fast paced industry and I know for a fact that they'll bounce back from it very nicely with the S8 and even the next Note model. *crosses fingers* And I didn't know there was a limit on commenting, must be some arbitrary rule you just made up to silence the truth-tellers, triggered much?

But please don't make the can put memory card it will damaged Sony system goes slower and Heat is Up n Up and became a useless phone. No need insert memory card smart phone. Love Sony
