It has similar specs as the OnePlus 3 but performs a lot better, even with only 3GB of RAM its still beats the OP3 with 6GB in multitasking. What a waste of 3 extra gigs of RAM, don't be fooled by overhyped specs, its the end experience and software optimization paired with specs that matters the most and the X Performance does that a lot better.

                    I bought a Sony Xperia XZ when it was launched. Many comment that it was "overpriced" back then. Did some research about the matter, it was cheaper than the small iPhone 7 with 32 GB. And the Sony was bundled with some quite expensive bluetooth headphones to.

                    So I dont buy the argument that Sony is overpriced. And Sonys android skin is close to the stock android experience, that was a big deal for med. So I am happy that I bought a Sony.

                      The thing is that SONY was always able to become the top tier in Smartphone business and my question was when they want to Start their Game,and now i c that they feel the time is right to begin the kingdom. Used Xperia arc,ion,T2,c4,and now z5 premium, entirely satisfied

                          My Z3 won't get android 7. But it isn't Sony's fault. Anyway it is very smooth with marshmallow. I'm happy with any of my Sony products. Number one in the world. At least for me.
