If you're a Sony fan and like Sony phones that's fine but stop acting like it's a Jesus phone lol

What they lack in hardware they compensate through software, nice strategy Sony it'll keep your fans who payed a very hefty sum of money happy for a little while longer lol

They have NVMe storage which is even faster than UFS 2.0 and the Hurricane cores which are faster than new Kryo of SD835, ARM A73 and probably also Exynos 8895 cores which should be ARM A73. Just look at the geekbench single core scores, their architecture is so advanced and also these cores have so a massive physical size, these small Kryo and A73 cores don't have a chance to beat it.

Today updating to 7.0 and I see this and think....wtf...
I can't believe it, they plan starting rolling updates faster than all the others (not owned by google)
Too bad for the old devices, my M5 is stuck with software in desperate need of battery optimization...

This depends on the vendor specific requirements and demand in the market.... Most importantly what the marketing / mgmt team think of their device from the customer perspective. Take example of Chinese brands in smartphone area - "Produce what public demands".

Too little, too late. With cheaper offerings from other brands with the same or better specs and performance, no one in their right mind would buy a Sony phone unless you're a Sony Fanboy.

If true, and if they can pull it off, then it's dam impressive on Sony's part.
Seeing as how I have decided Sony are not quite worth giving up on yet (despite numerous disappointments) and as such have just ordered myself an XZ, this renewed commitment on the software front is welcome news.
Not so welcome are the disruptions to the postal services this time of year, meaning 7.1.1 could arrive before my phone does at this rate :(
