    Tann Hauser, 30 Jan 2017Hahah.... Yeah, cant believe low end Xperia gets so much S... moreIf it can be called a flaw. I think customers should be more informed on their own. It's your fault if you get a device that doesn't suit your needs. This is a diverse market. And not everyone gets what Sony is about. I just don't understand the anger towards them like they killed their cow or something. There's no doubt Sony drove innovation in design and hardware from '13 to '15. Now they want to focus on experience. Sam takes the lead in aesthetics nowadays but Sony's take was more practical like wtf is 18.5:9 aspect ratio?

                And did i mention samsung used to abandon their own music player for non flagship (or high end) device, im stuck with play music (and 3rd party player) to play my track
                While in Sony even lower end got full Sofware package like it flagship.

                        The exynos in A3(2017) even lost to last year mtk p10 in XA and it cost as much.
                        Super amoled is crap, if it isn't why change to standard RGB Amoled.
                        Usb 3.0 in note3 was a big mistake, thats why they remove it in the later series.
                        Talking about camera, sony was the one pioneering fast autofocus in smartphone (remember the hybrid autofocus found in m5) and they continue it with predictive tracking focus which only found in DSLR, if not samsung won't be bothered to make one and only s7 and upcoming s8 have it so far while sony had handful of device with hybrid autofocus.
                        And the edge feel like knife and easy to slip.(admit it if you use an s6 edge or s7 edge)

                                        Hi all,
                                        Be careful with your sensitive data. It can be easily cracked and stolen if you use older or low/mid grade expooria devices.
                                        Those devices have never received security updates for many months.
