I'm waiting for the day Sony will announce a new PSP in a form like the Xperia Play.

    sony does have a dedicated fan following..if it wasnt for the bad pr that their screens are flimsy and prone to cracking, most people would choose sony over other stuff...many flagships do have hgher specs than sonys but in the long run, the optimization of sony works better..not to mention its autotagging and other nifty features..would you buy a phone just for autotagging?? well you would for siri right?? as an s7 edge user..i have noticed a gradual decrease in performance with each update, be it of apps or firmware..

                        Currently out of stock in Vietnam, and the shops here wants you to buy the Xperia X or XA or XA ultra instead. Too bad.

                        What attracted me to the XZ is its unique design. All other phones look very similar to iPhones. Just saying!

                          Huge bezel(its bigger than ZUK edge which have 5.5" display)XZ have 5"2 inch display
                          3GB of RAM(sooo 2014-early 2015)
                          Wow where did you hear that Xperia XZ has a better camera than Galaxy S7 or LG G5 or Pixels or even Huawei flagships
                          Best display? hahaha you mean bigger display bezels,right
                          USB type C with USB 2.0 speeds
                          Best performance?Have you seen any of the speedtests in youtube
                          Galaxy s7 has ip68(so does Xperis XZ and not ip67 you mentioned)
                          Hi Res audio is like Retina display.A word used by sony to confuse people
                          "High-resolution audio files usually use a sampling frequency or 96kHz or 192kHz at 24-bit"
                          Many phones are capable of doing it but not shameless as Sony to publish it as a "feature"
                          HTC 10 does have similar thing they just call it Boomsound.LG G5 with B&O DAC and LG V20 have audio output better than sony(They call it Quad DAC)

                                        I figure there's something to do with nasty patent bullies in US, but there's no clue about that even when I Googled it in Japananese. Whatever it was, Sony's got to work this out :-(

                                        XZ itself is solid and it looks better in real life than pictures in gsmarena.

                                        Speaking of Pixel, it's just a matter of availability I suppose.
