Every damn chinese phone is having a laser autofocus,and 23 MP camera
Galaxy S7 also can output Hi res audio through its headphone jack well Samsung has 100 other technologies in S7 so that they dont advertise these minor things as BEST feature of their flagship which unfortunately sony have to do in order to sell 0.5 million smartphones(galaxy S7 sold 26 million in its first month itself)

      Why else would iPhone start using a Amoled panel next year,Why wont apple buy triluminous X-reality display from Sony if its that good?
      Apple fans made this myth up "LCDs are better than Amoled so that they could defend their inferior screen"if thats true why are they switching to Amoled next year
      Only thing that keeps manufacturers moving to Amoled is its availability.

                  Having owned just about every phone ever made, (except an HTC, not because I have an issue, they are great, just never got around to it), the XZ is the most lovely looking phone since the Nexus 4 or before that, Galaxy Nexus. In particular in black, and the finger print reader is the only one that blends the benefits of LG's rear mounted one (since copied by others) with a front one, you can operate it when you phone is on a flat surface, the one flaw with a rear mounted one. The screen is very bright, the case lovely to handle, the UX clean and fast (even a Z1 is still fast!), and it can be stood up, like an iPhone 5 or SE, great for self timer shots of the family when you don't have a tripod.

                  If it had wireless charging (my prerequisite for any phone), I would get one. Only other downside is the terrible camera interface and fact the 4K video option is a separate app.

A device that needs servicing often and has sub-par service. No thanks. :) Probably better or as bad as Note 7, but that's not really saying nothing. Samsung is trash, so is Sony and all of their devices from both manufacturers. Even HTC is above these two and they aren't good. But at least my 2nd and last HTC kept in one piece without duck tape.

                                        Imma kill myself now, more people choose Sony's trash instead of something that has substance. It has the specsheet of a midranger, a camera in between a midranger and a flagship, questionable build quality (and therefore water resistance), small battery, HUGE BEZELS, and USB speeds on a USB-C port of USB-2.0. And for $700? No way! (I don't doubt that it outsells the Pixel phones, since Google is targeting only the US right now, it'll 'dethrone' Sony within 3 years)
